Pipes
and Valves
Most customers believe the best-looking enclosure hides pipes and valves. If this is not possible, you may need a cutout or notch
in the end of the cabinet for pipes and/or valves. From a heating
efficiency standpoint, and for best airflow, you’ll want the
back of the enclosure to sit out in front of the ¼ round, molding,
and/or baseboard woodwork where possible. If this will not
work, notches will be needed to clear the obstacles.
We can provide special cutouts and/or notches in the ends
of any enclosure if needed. Fax or mail us a sketch, or call our
enclosure designer toll-free, between 8 am and 5 pm, EST, M-F.

Access
Doors
If
the radiator valve is at floor level, we recommend an access door for
enclosures taller than 29 inches. Indicate the location of the access
door when the unit is viewed from the front on a simple sketch, and send
to us at the address shown above. Or fax to us.
If you have a digital
camera and can email us a photo, that would be the best alternative. Simply
click here and attach the photo.
Clearances
A
minimum of 1/8 inch clearance is needed behind the radiator to within
7 inches of the floor. If pipes, wall brackets, window sills or baseboards
infringe on this space, we offer 2 suggestions:
a) Ask for a short
back panel on your enclosure. (The back may be as short as 1 inch.)
b) Plan on assembling the enclosure around the radiator. The back panel
can be installed after the front and end panels are in position.
When assembled, your
enclosure will be 1/2 inch greater in length and depth (at lay-on-top)
and ¼ inch more in height.
We’ll be glad
to help you with this. Call or email us for friendly, expert assistance.
Wall-mounted
Radiators
BeautifulRadiators.com.com
can suggest many ways to make a wall-mounted radiator a pleasing feature
of the room. If a wall-hung radiator is within 12” of the floor,
we often recommend a cover that extends to the floor, with a short back
panel that straddles the brackets. The enclosure we manufacture will be
fully supported by special brackets we provide. Email us a note describing
your radiator and let us suggest some ideas!
