Radiator Caradon K22 500x1800 mm — panel radiator, output 2599 W, model K22/50/180

The Caradon K22 panel radiator (model K22/50/180) is a steel convector radiator measuring 500×1800 mm and delivering 2599 W of heat output. Designed for central heating systems, it features a double-panel construction with two convector fin sets (K22 configuration) to provide efficient convective heat transfer. The radiator is supplied with wall brackets and is intended for reliable room temperature maintenance in residential or commercial interiors.

Advantages

The double-panel K22 design combines two flat heating panels with paired convector fins to increase heat emission while maintaining a compact depth. Constructed from pressed steel, the radiator offers durable surface integrity and consistent thermal performance. Its standardized dimensions and included wall brackets simplify installation and integration into existing central heating systems. The straightforward design enables predictable convective heating behavior and easy service access.

Suitable for

• Living rooms, bedrooms and hallways in apartments or houses
• Offices, small commercial premises and meeting rooms
• Rooms requiring stable convective heating and temperature control
• Replacement of existing panel radiators with similar footprint and connection layout

How to use

Install the radiator on a prepared wall using the supplied wall brackets and appropriate fixings for the wall material. Connect to the central heating circuit following local plumbing codes and ensure correct orientation and venting. After installation, bleed air from the radiator using the bleed valve to achieve full water circulation and verify there are no leaks. Set the heating system controls to the desired room temperature and monitor performance during initial operation to confirm expected heat output.

Usage recommendations

Position the radiator away from heavy curtains or obstructing furniture to allow free airflow and optimal convective performance. Perform regular visual inspections for signs of corrosion or leaks, and periodically bleed the radiator to maintain efficiency. Use appropriate thermostatic valves and balancing procedures in multi-radiator systems to ensure even heat distribution.
