Frequently Asked Questions
How does the substantial 160mm depth of the Hedingham radiator affect the total wall projection calculation?
The Hedingham has a deep multi column profile of 160mm so you must account for this plus the depth of the wall mounting brackets when planning your floor space meaning the total projection from the wall will likely exceed 180mm which is a critical factor for installation behind doors or in narrow walkways
Why is the mild steel construction of the Hedingham range beneficial for rapid thermal response?
Mild steel possesses excellent thermal conductivity properties which allows the Hedingham radiator to heat up very quickly when the central heating system is engaged and this rapid response helps maintain a consistent room temperature and reduces energy wastage compared to slower cast iron alternatives
What are the structural wall requirements for mounting these heavy multi column radiators?
Due to the high weight of the mild steel and the significant water volume held within the deep columns you must ensure the Hedingham radiator is mounted on solid masonry walls or reinforced timber studs because standard plasterboard fixings will not be sufficient to support the full operating weight
How do I accurately calculate the pipe centres for the Hedingham radiator before first fix plumbing?
To determine the pipe centres you need to take the specific width of the radiator model you have chosen and add approximately 80mm to 90mm to account for the radiator valves on either side ensuring you measure this precisely so that your floor pipes align perfectly with the side connections
Is the Hedingham column radiator range compatible with modern renewable heat pump systems?
Yes the deep column design and large surface area of the Hedingham make it an excellent choice for heat pumps because it can emit a high BTU output even at the lower water flow temperatures typically associated with renewable heating systems provided you calculate the size using a lower Delta T rating
What specific maintenance is required to protect the mild steel interior from corrosion?
You must add a high quality chemical inhibitor to the heating system water immediately after installation to prevent the steel from reacting with the water which causes internal rust and magnetite sludge buildup ensuring the longevity of the radiator and maintaining the validity of the 10 year guarantee
Why is bleeding the Hedingham radiator essential for maintaining maximum heat output?
Column radiators can trap pockets of air at the top of the columns which prevents hot water from circulating fully and causes cold spots so you should regularly check and bleed the radiator using the vent plug to release trapped air and ensure the entire surface area is hot
Do the standard 1/2 inch BSP connections limit my choice of radiator valves?
The 1/2 inch BSP connections are the universal standard for UK plumbing which means you have unrestricted access to a wide variety of thermostatic and manual radiator valves allowing you to choose straight or angled valves depending on whether your pipes come from the floor or the wall
How does the powder coated finish on the Black and White models enhance durability?
The powder coating is applied electrostatically and cured under heat to form a hard skin over the steel which is far more resistant to moisture humidity and physical scratches than standard paint making it ideal for high traffic areas like hallways or moisture prone rooms like kitchens
What does the Delta T 50 rating mean for the heat output of this radiator?
The Delta T 50 rating indicates the heat output when there is a 50 degree difference between the radiator water temperature and the room temperature so if your boiler runs at a different temperature you must apply a correction factor to the listed BTU figure to know exactly how much heat the radiator will provide in your home
