Radiator panel Stelrad PLANAR 600x1000 mm type 22, output 1634 W, left connection

The Stelrad PLANAR 600x1000 mm type 22 panel radiator is a compact wall-mounted convector designed for central heating systems. With a nominal heat output of 1634 W and a left-side connection, this radiator combines two convector elements and a double-panel construction to deliver steady convective and radiant heat for residential and light commercial interiors. The low-profile design and standard dimensions make it suitable for replacement or new installations where consistent room temperature control is required.

Advantages

The type 22 construction provides enhanced heat output compared with single-convector panels while remaining compact. A left-side inlet connection allows flexible piping layouts in rooms where pipework is routed along one side. The steel panel construction with double convectors improves heat transfer efficiency and ensures an even temperature distribution across the surface. The radiator is compatible with standard central heating systems and can be mounted on most wall types using appropriate brackets.

Suitable for

• Residential rooms such as living rooms, bedrooms and hallways
• Light commercial spaces like offices, meeting rooms and small retail areas
• Replacement of existing 600 x 1000 mm radiators in central heating systems

Key specifications

• Rated heat output: 1634 W (nominal capacity)
• Connection position: left-side water connection
• Mounting: wall-mounted with compatible brackets
• Material: steel panels with convector fins

How to use

Install the radiator on a suitable wall using manufacturer-recommended brackets and fittings, ensuring the left-side connection aligns with existing pipework or planned plumbing layout. Flush and prepare the central heating system according to standard procedures before connection to minimise debris and corrosion risk. After secure mounting and connection, bleed the radiator to remove trapped air and gradually increase system pressure while checking for leaks. Adjust thermostatic valves or control settings to achieve the desired room temperature.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, pair the radiator with thermostatic radiator valves and ensure regular system maintenance such as periodic bleeding and system flushing. When replacing an existing unit, confirm that wall fixing points and pipe centres match the new radiator dimensions, and consult a qualified installer for correct mounting and hydraulic balancing.
