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).
Claims19
A radiator comprising:
- a heating coil having at least one fin, each said fin defining a front edge, a rear edge, an upper edge and a lower edge of said heating coil, and wherein said lower edge has front and rear notches formed therein;
- a chassis engaging with said rear notch and extending from said lower edge over the rear edge and the upper edge, said chassis being adapted for mounting on a wall;
- and
- a cover engaging with said front notch extending from said lower edge over the front edge and the upper edge, to engage with the chassis adjacent said upper edge.
A kit of parts for installation of a radiator comprising:
- a heating coil having a front edge, a rear edge, an upper edge and a lower edge, said lower edge having front and rear notches formed therein;
- a chassis adapted to engage with said rear notch thereby to extend from said lower edge over the rear edge and the upper edge, said chassis being further adapted for mounting on a wall;
- and
- a cover adapted to engage with said front notch thereby to extend from said lower edge over the front edge and the upper edge, to engage with the chassis adjacent said upper edge;
- said kit of parts further comprising mounting, assembly and connection means.
A method for installing a radiator having a heating coil, a chassis and a cover, using a kit of parts, comprising the steps of:
- (a) mounting the chassis on a wall;
- (b) engaging the heating coil with the chassis, via the rear notch formed on the lower edge of said heating coil;
- and
- (c) engaging the cover with the heating coil, via the front notch formed in the lower edge of said heating coil, and with the chassis adjacent the upper edge of the heating coil.
