RITTLING RADIATORS

Horizontal Units

Installation, Operation & Maintenance

Radiators with Fins on back side of panel (PRF &4.

PR3F): With the radiator face down, attach each PR

CLIP to the ﬁns at the stud location. With the radiator

still face down, thread the leveling bolts (5/16”

carriage bolts) into the

bottom threaded positions

with a crescent wrench.

Once the bolts have cleared

the paint away, they should

turn easily by hand. Hang

the panel (installed on wall

in step 3) onto the brackets

to determine if the leveling

bolts are properly adjusted.

Check that the panel is

level.

Radiators without Fins on back side of panel (PR,5.

PR2 & PR2F): With the radiator face down, thread

the leveling bolts (5/16” carriage bolts) into the bottom

threaded positions with a crescent wrench. Once the

bolts have cleared the paint away, they should turn

supply and return ﬁttings into the connections on the

radiator. The sealing tape or pipe dope used is the

installer’s choice – make sure the connections are leak

tight. One quarter of a turn past hand tight is usually

sufﬁcient. Each radiator needs to be ﬁtted with a 1/8”

air vent prior to startup.

Installation Instructions:

Radiators are boxed together in as few crates as1.

possible. A box of brackets is included as a separate

piece, and it is marked to denote brackets. Inside the

crates, each panel is wrapped

in foam sheeting. Saving this

foam to re-wrap the panel

once it is wall mounted will

protect it from construction

site damage.

Each radiator is tagged with2.

a label that indicates the

project name, model type,

color, connection code, bracket type & quantity and

tag number. Locate each radiator as required.

Carefully place each radiator face down on a smooth3.

level surface (i.e. ﬂoor or table). Distribute the brackets

for each radiator. The tag on the radiator indicates the

quantity of brackets. Mount the brackets securely on

wall studs or solid backing with two lag bolts, spacing

them as evenly as possible at 2’ to 4’ apart, with a

bracket at least 12” from each end of the panel. Allow

a minimum of 3” below each panel radiator to facilitate

cleaning and to assure proper output. For baseboard

models, 1” above the ﬂoor is permissible with little

loss of heat output.

PED-SM & Pedestal2.

Mounted Radiators: When

using PED-SM, each PED-

SM must line up with a

corresponding leveling

bolt attached to the back

side of the radiator. Using

this spacing as a guide,

securely fasten each ﬂoor

post to the ﬂoor, using

appropriate fasteners. The

FIN BKT is attached to the PED-SM, and the FIN BKT

to the radiator, as described in step #4 above. The nut

and bolt used to attach the FIN BKT to the PED-SM is

to be supplied by others. A 1/4” bolt a minimum of 1

1/2” long is recommended.

For PR2F & PR3F Pedestal mounting with PED-BM-3.

SQ the pedestals should be arranged so that the end

pedestals sit within 12” of each end of the radiator,

with the remainder spaced evenly along the radiator’s

length. Each pedestal should be securely fastened to

the ﬂoor using appropriate fasteners. Radiators sit

on the pedestals, with the “ﬁngers” of the pedestals

sticking up between the ﬁns to provide stability.

Radiators expand a maximum of 0.016 inch per linear4.

with water. As water ﬁlls the system and radiators,

air is forced to the vent ﬁttings. Vent as much air as

possible before turning on the circulating pump(s).

When the system is ﬁlled, operate the circulating6.

pump(s) to force the remaining air to the high points

of the system. Turn off the circulating pump(s) to vent

the panels. Each radiator should be individually bled

of air. Once cold venting has been completed, heat the

system to design temperature and repeat the venting

procedure as many times as necessary to remove all air

from the system.

Radiators are manufactured in the USA of cold rolled1.

Proper radiator operation depends on adequate ﬂow of2.

located in harsh environments. Spray the paint to

achieve an even coating, and let dry completely before

heating the radiator.

PED-SM

The PED-SM ﬂoor post is typically used to mount

PR or PRF radiators. Also, PR2F and PR3F radiators

over four tubes tall must also be mounted on PED-

SM ﬂoor posts. The ANG BKT (PR & PR2F) or

FIN BKT (PRF & PR3F) wall mounting brackets

supplied with the radiator are bolted to the ﬂoor

post, using nuts and bolts supplied by the installer.

The leveling bolt screws into the radiator and rests

against the ﬂoor post to level the radiator.

The 3”x3” base has four mounting holes. The

installer supplies the appropriate mounting bolts to

secure the PED-SM base to the ﬂoor.

The PED-SM’s height is ﬁxed to provide 3” clearance

under the radiator, unless otherwise speciﬁed.

PED-BM-SQ

The PED-BM-SQ pedestal is used to mount PR2F or

PR3F radiators, up to four tubes tall. Radiators over

four tubes tall should not be mounted on PED-BM-SQ

pedestals, because they will be unstable. Mounting

is accomplished by setting the radiator down over

the ﬁngers of the PED-BM-SQ. The bottom tubes

of the radiator rest on the pedestal, while the ﬁngers

protrude up through the ﬁns to stabilize the radiator.

For Radiators without Fins (on the back side of the

panel) – no wall mounting clips should be ordered for

radiators to be mounted on PED-BM-SQ pedestals.

The 3”x3” base has four mounting holes. The

installer supplies the appropriate mounting bolts to

secure the PED-BM-SQ base to the ﬂoor.

The PED-BM-SQ’s height is ﬁxed to provide 3”

clearance under the radiator, unless otherwise

speciﬁed.
