UN A NEW WAY OF BUILDING HEATING SYSTEMS

Modification of any domestic water heating system always implies substantial masonry work.

The drawn out time schedule and high cost of the work usually mean that any modifications tend to be postponed until the building undergoes complete restructuring.

The clich whereby “the heating system is created when the house is built and thereafter does not need further modification” need not apply if the system is built according to modern concepts and designed with possible future modifications in mind.

With this aim in mind, technology is continually evolving to create products for systems that are simple to build and easy to modify. IRSAP towel warmers with a central water connection featuring a fixed 50 mm distance between centres, fit the modern concept of system construction perfectly.

On these types of radiator, the position of the water inlet and outlet pipes is independent of the radiator dimensions and is always the same for every height and every width of the various models. Therefore, a bathroom requires a single masonry job to position the two water pipes in just one point, maintaining them at a distance of 50 mm. Any radiator can then be connected to the water connection you have created.

There is no need to delay construction of the system while you are deciding on the dimensions of the radiator. Once a radiator is installed, it can be replaced by another with different dimensions without having to change the position of the pipes coming out of the walls. The central water connection (featuring a 50 mm distance between centres) leaves the two traditional connection holes at either end of the bottom manifolds completely free. It is very easy to insert a heater through these holes at any time so that the radiator can function as a towel warmer when the heating system boiler is switched off.
