Stelrad Compact Type 22 Steel Panel Radiator 500x1800mm 2165W

The Stelrad Compact Type 22 is a high-performance steel panel radiator engineered for efficiency and reliability in central heating systems. Measuring 500x1800mm, this double-panel unit is designed to deliver a substantial heat output of 2165W, making it an ideal solution for maintaining comfortable temperatures in medium to large-sized rooms. Its robust steel construction and classic white powder-coated finish ensure durability and seamless integration into both residential and commercial interiors.

Advantages

This radiator offers exceptional thermal efficiency due to its double-panel design, which maximizes surface area for effective heat convection and radiation. The high-quality steel build provides long-lasting structural integrity, while the neutral white finish is resistant to corrosion and easy to maintain. Its compact profile allows for significant heat output without occupying excessive wall space, providing a balanced solution for modern heating requirements.

Suitable for

• Living rooms and bedrooms
• Home offices and study areas
• Commercial office spaces
• Hallways and large corridors

This radiator may not be suitable for rooms with extremely high humidity, such as bathrooms or wet rooms, unless specifically protected against corrosion. It is also not intended for use in steam-based heating systems or open-vented systems that are not compatible with standard steel panel radiators.

Key specifications

• Dimensions: 500mm height x 1800mm length
• Type: 22 (Double panel, double convector)
• Heat output: 2165W
• Material: High-grade steel
• Finish: White powder coating

Installation should be performed by a qualified heating engineer to ensure the system is correctly balanced and the radiator is securely mounted. The unit features standard connection points that should be fitted with appropriate valves to control the flow of hot water from the central heating system. Ensure the wall surface is capable of supporting the weight of the radiator when filled with water.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the heat output requirements for your specific room size
• Check available wall space for the 1800mm length
• Ensure compatibility with your existing central heating pipework
• Confirm the location of pipe connections for correct installation

For optimal performance, ensure the radiator is not obstructed by furniture or heavy curtains, as this can significantly reduce heat circulation throughout the room. Regularly bleed the radiator to remove trapped air and maintain maximum efficiency.
