Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 440mm height of the Saxon Aluminium Horizontal radiator specifically cater to low-level installation requirements?
The 440mm height is a technical solution for areas with restricted vertical wall space, such as under low window sills or in conservatories with dwarf walls. This compact vertical dimension allows for installation where standard 600mm radiators would be too tall, ensuring you can still achieve substantial heat output (up to 4490 BTUs for wider models) without obstructing window views or architectural features.
What is the heat output per section for the Saxon 440mm Horizontal model and how does this impact sizing?
Each individual section of the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator generates approximately 321 BTUs (94 Watts) at Delta T50. To solve the sizing problem for your specific room, divide your calculated heat loss requirement by 321. For example, a room needing 3200 BTUs would require a 10-section model. This modularity allows for precise matching to your heating needs, preventing energy waste from oversizing.
Why is the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator considered
The Saxon range is classified as Eco Aluminium due to its low water content and high thermal conductivity. The 440mm model holds significantly less water than a steel panel radiator of equivalent output. This technical feature means the boiler has less mass to heat, resulting in faster warm-up times and a more responsive system that uses less fuel to reach operating temperature, directly lowering energy bills and carbon footprint.
What are the depth and projection specifications for the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator?
The Saxon 440mm radiator sections have a depth of 95mm. However, you must technically account for the wall brackets when planning installation. The total projection from the wall to the front face of the radiator will typically be around 120mm to 130mm, depending on the bracket adjustment. This is important for ensuring the radiator does not encroach too far into usable floor space, especially in narrow areas.
Is the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator compatible with standard UK central heating pipework and valves?
Yes, the Saxon 440mm Horizontal is engineered with standard 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) connections, ensuring full compatibility with all standard UK manual and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). The side connections allow for easy plumbing into existing pipework, whether feeding from the floor or the wall, without the need for expensive or complex adaptors.
What finish options are available for the Saxon 440mm Horizontal and are they durable?
The standard finish for the Saxon 440mm is a high-quality White RAL 9010 powder coat. This industrial-grade finish is baked on to create a hard-wearing, scratch-resistant surface that withstands the expansion and contraction cycles of the metal. Additionally, the range offers options for custom S4H RAL Colours and Special Finishes, allowing you to match the radiator to your specific interior design scheme while maintaining the same level of durability and protection against corrosion.
Can the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator be installed on internal stud walls?
One of the key problem-solving benefits of the Saxon aluminium construction is its light weight. A 440mm high aluminium radiator is significantly lighter than a steel or cast iron equivalent. This makes it technically feasible and safe to install on internal stud or plasterboard walls using appropriate fixings, reducing the need for heavy structural reinforcement often required for other radiator types.
What specific maintenance is required to ensure the longevity of the Saxon 440mm Aluminium radiator?
To maintain the 10-year guarantee and prevent internal corrosion, it is technically critical to maintain the correct water chemistry. You must use a high-quality corrosion inhibitor specifically formulated for mixed-metal systems (containing aluminium). The system pH should be kept neutral (between 7.0 and 8.0). Annual checks of inhibitor levels are recommended to prevent hydrogen gas build-up and pinhole leaks, which are common issues if aluminium radiators are unprotected.
Does the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator require a flow diverter for proper water circulation?
For horizontal aluminium radiators like the Saxon 440mm, water circulation is generally straightforward. However, if connecting Top Bottom Same Side (TBSE), a flow diverter (baffle) is technically required to force water across the top of the radiator before flowing down. For standard Bottom Opposite Ends (BOE) connections (in one side at the bottom, out the other), a diverter is usually not required as the natural flow and convection currents ensure even heating across the relatively short 440mm height.
What is the maximum operating pressure for the Saxon 440mm Horizontal radiator?
The Saxon 440mm range is manufactured to withstand high pressures, typically rated for a maximum operating pressure of 10 Bar (tested to higher limits). This technical specification makes it suitable not only for standard open-vented or sealed domestic systems (usually 1-2 Bar) but also for higher-pressure systems found in some modern apartments or commercial buildings, ensuring robust performance and safety.
