Abstract
A baseboard radiator (10) for use in perimeter heating has a heating coil (11), a chassis (25) and a cover (23). The heating coil (11) has at least one fin (12), defining a front edge (13), a rear edge (14), an upper edge (15) and a lower edge (16) of the heating coil (11). The lower edge (16) has front (21) and rear (22) notches formed therein. The chassis (25) engages with the rear notch (22) and extends from the lower edge (16) over the rear edge (14) and the upper edge (15). The chassis (25) is further adapted for mounting the radiator (10) on a wall (28). The cover (23) engages with the front notch (21) and extends from the lower edge (16) over the front edge (13) and the upper edge (15) to engage between the chassis (25) and the wall (28).
Claims12
A method for installing an elongated baseboard radiator having a plurality of adjoining sections of heating coil, a plurality of adjoining sections of chassis, a plurality of adjoining sections of cover, and one or more joining strips, comprising the steps of:
- (a) mounting a section of chassis on a wall;
- (b) engaging a section of heating coil with the section of chassis, via a rear notch formed on a lower edge of said section of heating coil;
- (i) engaging a joining strip with said section of heating coil, via a front notch formed in said lower edge of said section of heating coil, and with said section of chassis adjacent an upper edge of said section of heating coil, thereby to retain said section of heating coil in place on said section of chassis;
- (ii) interconnecting an adjacent section of heating coil with said section of heating coil;
- (iii) disengaging said joining strip from the heating coil and chassis;
- (c) engaging a section of cover with the section of heating coil, via the front notch formed in the lower edge of said section of heating coil, and with the section of chassis adjacent an upper edge of the section of heating coil;
- and (i) re-engaging the joining strip over the cover, thereby to conceal joints between adjacent sections of cover.
