Radiator Caradon Compact C22 300 x 2000 mm — double-panel convector heating element

The Caradon Compact C22 300 x 2000 mm is a double-panel convector radiator designed for central heating systems. With two steel panels and two rows of convector fins, this radiator delivers increased heat output while maintaining a slim profile suitable for wall-mounted installation. Its tall, narrow dimensions make it suitable for long runs along corridors or beneath continuous window openings where efficient linear heat distribution is required.

Advantages

The C22 construction provides a balance between compact depth and higher thermal performance compared with single-panel radiators. Steel panel construction ensures consistent heat transfer and reliable durability under normal central heating pressures. The convector fins increase surface area and improve convective heat flow into the room, enabling faster room warm-up and more even temperature distribution along the radiator length.

Suitable for

• Residential rooms and apartments with limited wall depth
• Long corridors and hallways requiring linear heating
• Offices and commercial interiors where wall-mounted radiators are preferred
• Spaces beneath continuous glazing or window runs

Key specifications

• Type: double-panel convector radiator (two panels with two convector fin rows)
• Height: 300 mm
• Length: 2000 mm
• Material: steel panels with convector fins
• Connection: standard central heating pipe connections (side or bottom depending on installer configuration)
• Finish: factory-coated surface suitable for indoor installation
• Mounting: wall-mounted installation with brackets

How to use

Install the radiator on a suitable load-bearing wall using manufacturer-recommended wall brackets and fixings at the specified mounting points. Connect to the central heating circuit following the system layout, ensuring correct valve selection and orientation for flow and return. Bleed air from the radiator after filling the system and set the thermostatic or manual valves to achieve the desired room temperature. Routine inspection of connections and periodic bleeding will help maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, size the radiator to the room’s heat loss and ensure free airflow around the unit by avoiding direct obstruction in front of the convector fins. Use compatible valves and follow local plumbing codes during installation. Periodic cleaning of the convector fins and occasional bleeding will sustain efficiency and even heat distribution.
