Curved Wall
Applications
R,
RF, and RS2 Column radiators can be curved for either Convex
or Concave walls. There is a variety of radius, length and
deflection criteria required to specify the quantity and
types of radiators needed to meet the curvature. Follow the
diagrams here for each curve. Contact your local Runtal
Representative for detailed curved radiator submittal
sheets.

Field curved Runtal radiators are specially made
to be used where larger curvatures are found:
auditoriums, malls, lobbys, cafeterias, and
museums, for example. They are field installed
along the wall or window mullions with a simple
bracket system and a piping arrangement to match
each project. This is a very cost effective way
to heat the perimeter of a curved building.
-
Minimum
radius is 15 feet
-
Minimum radiator length is 15 feet long
-
Only single panel radiators can be field
curved, double panel radiators cannot be
curved
-
A
single radiator can be curved to only 1/4 of
the total circle

FACTORY CURVED & SEGMENTED RADIATORS |
|
|
Factory Curved & Segmented Runtal radiators are
used for smaller curvatures. Applications such
as bay windows, or very tight curves are found
in fine homes, mansions, historic renovations,
towers and theatres, for example. These
radiators are specially manufactured by highly
skilled craftsmen, and may be easily installed
along the wall with a simple bracket system and
a piping arrangement to match each project.
These elegant radiators have to be seen in order
to be fully appreciated.
-
The maximum angle which can be segmented is
135 degrees
-
Double panel radiators cannot be segmented
-
Minimum radius is 5 feet on non-finned units
-
Minimum radius is 10 feet on finned units
-
Maximum radiator length is:
20 ft. (non-finned radiators)
16 ft. (finned radiators)
-
Double panel radiators can sometimes be
factory-curved, contact Runtal for
availability.

Wall mounting is the easiest way to install
curved or segmented Runtal Radiators. These
radiators are specially made with the proper
bracketing required for a smooth- looking
installation. Runtal recommends wall blocking
and lockdown brackets for curved radiators to
ensure secure mounting. Segmented Runtal
Radiators are easily wall mounted with standard
brackets, included with each order.
Floor Mounting along a curved wall is an
alternative way to install Runtal Radiators.
Floor mount brackets are specially manufactured
to match the radiators in both quality
workmanship and color. Floor Mounting is a cost
effective way to install radiators along curved
glass walls or other applications where wall
mounting is not an option. For further details
on these specialty radiators, contact your local
Runtal Representative today. |
