About Panel Radiators:
Hot water steel panel radiators have been used throughout Europe for many decades as a compact, versatile, energy efficient and aesthetically-pleasing heating solution. They offer:
2-4 times higher BTU output per linear ft and nearly 2x times higher BTU output per sqft than baseboards* (great for moderate to cold environments with space limitations)

- Individual radiator temperature control
- Integrated air vent and drainage
- Flexibility in piping configurations (can be used with all 3 piping methods –
dedicated/homerun, 1-pipe with diverter valves or 2-pipe parallel)
- Higher levels of comfort (better temperature distribution)
- Very compact, space-saving design (11 and 21 radiator series are only as thick as standard
baseboard heaters)
- Good long-term resistance to damage (powder epoxy coated and elevated from the floor,
where most damage from vacuuming and moping occurs)
- Easily accessible connections allow for quick repair, replacement or maintenance.
- Easy replacement of existing baseboards or older cast iron radiators with little to none
piping/system modifications
- Works with 120-180F hot water temperature range, easily integrated with existing radiant floor
heating systems and at low temperatures (i.e. 130°F and below return for NG) is ultra efficient
with condensing boilers
- Better looks
- Virtually silent operation (no creaking like baseboards, caused by thermal expansion)
- Variety of sizes and output options to fit any project needs (from as little as 500 to as high as
18,000 BTUs output per unit)
- Compatible with SSM and BSM series manifolds sold at PexUniverse (for supply temperatures
below 160F), which can significantly simplify the installation and reduce material costs
