Stelrad Double Panel Single Convector (P+) 700mm High Radiator

Made by Stelrad, from their Compact steel panel radiator range.

Standing 700mm tall, this Double Panel Single Convector radiator draws more out of a short wall than the lower heights. It is a Type 21 or P+: two panels with a single convector in between.

Taller radiators are handy on walls with no window, beside doors or in alcoves. Going up rather than along keeps the length down. The Type 21 build stays slimmer than a Type 22, which helps in hallways and landings where the radiator sits in a walkway.

• Height: 700mm
• Lengths: 400mm to 1200mm, then 1400mm to 2200mm
• Type 21 (P+): double panel, single convector
• Brackets, top grille, side panels, plugs and vent come with it

Fitting a tall double panel single convector radiator

Check the top of the radiator will sit below sills, light switches and shelves before you mark the brackets. A tall radiator full of water is heavy, so use solid fixings. Cut tails to the radiator’s pipe centres and fit a pair of valves. Fill the system, bleed from the top corner and check the unions once it is hot. Look in our radiators and accessories range for valves.

Common Questions

Why go to 700mm high?

To get more heat from a narrow wall, for example beside a door or in an alcove.

Does a tall radiator heat a room evenly?

It heats well if placed sensibly. Under a window is still best, but a tall one on an inside wall works where there is no other space.

Can I hang it on a dry lined wall?

Fix through to the studs or masonry behind, or use heavy duty cavity fixings rated for the full weight.
