How to Hang Panel Radiators and Understand Piping Configurations

[@nunbiz9137]

I got to say I love how you have no commercials of these people selling this get-rich-quick plans THANK YOU!!!!! also thank you for the schooling of these heaters. Only problem I have is I see you don't answer too many people's questions.

[@veightkiero9015]

Just placed the order for the 24 x 36. You saved me many hours of research. Fantastic job on these videos. I'm a big pex fan and these radiators and accessories you offer make it a no brainer. Thank you

[@paulwilliams6753]

This young man is great at presenting this information, knowledgeable as well.

[@paulodonnell753]

Great vid. May be in touch. Retro fitting gas-forced-air Ranch house with an air water heat pump and radiators. Or that’s the plan.

[@rootvalley2]

The boardus manual states brackets in at least 4” from side but as you said do at least 4 1/4, for supply side do 5” as if you do 4” it’s in the way of the supply line

[@FrustratedBaboon]

I don't understand your diagram at 6:57. Your diagram for option 5 seems incorrect, after the first radiator the red hot water should feed the next in a series for this to work. In #4 is correct because you have a parallel flow and get even heat from all three.

[@sethrogen7061]

Hey thank you for your videos! If I have old radiator heater can I just replace them with this new ones ?

[@FIBHacker]

Can you also install that temperature adjustment valve on the cast-iron radiators on your website? The opening is 1” thread.

[@TrainFlood]

Who is the presenter? He did a great job

[@ironSparks]

Can these radiator be used or converted to a steam system?

[@HalfLife2Beta]

Hello what is the depth of the chasing and the height of the radiator ? Thank you!

[@PEXUniverse]

The depth of the chaseway or wall recess for a radiator can vary depending on the specific design and the type of radiator being installed. It typically ranges from 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) to provide enough space for the radiator to fit comfortably within the wall. The height of the radiator also varies depending on the specific model and design but can range from 18 inches to over 36 inches (45 to 90 centimeters) or more. The exact dimensions will depend on the radiator's style and the manufacturer's specifications, so it's important to refer to the radiator's technical documentation for precise measurements.

@@PEXUniverse hey no i was speaking about the recess for the pipes

@@HalfLife2Beta Hey there, drop us a message on our website or connect with us through social channels like Instagram with your question, and we'll make sure to get back to you in a timely manner.

[@MrCoder101]

Are these new radiators suppose to be under a window even if my window is double pane with energy efficient window attachment?

[@rootvalley2]

might as well under a window will be the coldest place in the house

[@DREKREY]

i have pex running through baseboard in my bathroom wanting to replace my baseboard with a 12x24 radiator could i just connect the pex lines into the radiator with the adapters & just add thermostatic valve ?

[@brainwashingdetergent4322]

Rookie question here… what kind of heater is used to supply the hot water? Is it just a hot water heater, like the kind that heats the water for the hot water tap?

[@nicholashubert2007]

You could use a hot water heater, but that would be very inefficient and not generally how it’s done. Hot water for radiant heat usually comes from a boiler or furnace.

[@Askjannow]

I have a Budaris Panel system which I installed 21 years ago. I have well water and no water filter. Some of the radiators do not heat even after bleeding them. I ran a one pipe system with diverter valves. I'm thinking the radiators need to be flushed out. How do I do that? I have watched other KZbin videos from other in Europe but the radiators are not the same as I have here in Colorado. I also will need to re[place my 8 gang manifolds soon as well.

[@johnshea6882]

Dude. You know your stuff!

[@angelitamuniz6575]

Can these be placed in a basement 1850s old stone ?

[@edcarra113]

So if I’m building a 2700 sf home I can have as manny zones as many rooms as they are ?

[@PEXUniverse]

Hello Ed, pretty much you can, you just have to build a proper system for that application.

[@matthew393]

Do you have a video showing how to remove this type of radiator? I need to remove the wallpaper behind it.

[@PEXUniverse]

Hey Matthew, in order to remove this type of radiator just follow our steps on installation backwards. If you have any more questions feel free to contact us!

[@15pitr]

hello that Boilers recommend me for 8 rooms for that Radiators 20x24 thanks

[@gregabousleman273]

Starting to hear about radiant heat and cooling. Running heat pump either way. Do you think this unit could do that?

[@PEXUniverse]

Well this radiator only heats, it doesn't have a cooling process except for when it's turned off. Is that what you mean?

[@plasticmask1773]

What heats the water?

[@PEXUniverse]

Hey Ramona, it's the boiler.

[@kurtriexinger6097]

I’m wondering how it looks with the pex connected. Would the pipes be exposed since the unit is mounted 4 inches off the floor? Is there a recommended way to enclose the pex supply and return for protection and visual appeal? Or would you have the pex coming out of the wall just above the floor and then making a 90 to the supply and return connections?

[@Throplife]

I just painted mine white. Otherwise you could build a small 3 sided box with paint color of choice.

[@rootvalley2]

boardus has a pipe cover in some installations

[@nmHispana]

Do these radiators or system require antifreeze?

[@rootvalley2]

only if the water in them freezes

[@MrDryrye]

No circular pump needed in the home run method???

[@iamdallasforte]

Hey there I'm new to your channel and I think it's dope. I have older radiators that bang at times. Can I replace with the ones you have in the video using the same boiler and how much do they cost per unit?

[@PEXUniverse]

You sure can! Check em out here : www.pexuniverse.com/panel-radiators

[@iamdallasforte]

@@PEXUniverse what additional adapters would I need to get everything done? I'm converting from the generic old school heating radiators to the ones you're showing. Is there a link to each part that I need? If yes could you provide in the comments for me.? Don't mean to be a bother and thank you in advance.

[@Bestillhomestead]

i have a high efficiency boiler with 3 zones... each zone has its own different way of distributing my heat... i have baseboards in 1 zone... cast iron radiators in another and the radiator you have in this video in another zone... my baseboards do not get hot and the European radiator i have in my master bedroom does not warm my room well at all no matter how high i put the heat up to. any idea what can be wrong? i have had multiple people come take a look at it and no one can tell me what brand boiler i even have let alone fix my issue.

[@robertjones4200]

I feel your pain.I would never buy one of these again. Run 3/4 copper not 1/2 inch pex

[@robertjones4200]

You almost have to be a heating engineer to get these to work. I have consulted various experts to help me to get this radiator to work right. I will have the final expert within a week or two. If his idea works which is to run three quarters copper pipe instead of 1/2 inch pex to this metal panel radiator. I will let you know. It also sounds like you've got a air bubble lock some where in the system that is stopping the water the hot water from flowing. I also have cast-iron radiators for the majority of the heating in the house.

[@MbisonBalrog]

So this is hot water and not steam?

[@rogerchaffee1970]

Shear butchery.
