Radiator Stelrad VERTEX PLAN type 22 600x1600 mm, double panel with convectors

Stelrad VERTEX PLAN type 22 radiator, size 600 x 1600 mm, is a double-panel heating unit with integrated convectors designed for central heating systems. The flat-front design combines radiative surface area with convective fins between the panels to increase heat transfer. Made for wall mounting and standard pipe connections, this radiator delivers steady room temperature control for residential and light commercial interiors while maintaining a low visual profile.

Advantages

The double panel construction with built-in convectors improves heat output compared with single-panel radiators of similar dimensions, offering efficient convective and radiant heating. The flat-plan front provides a clean appearance that fits modern interiors and facilitates straightforward installation on existing pipework. Robust steel construction ensures durability and consistent thermal performance over repeated heating cycles.

Suitable for

• Living rooms and bedrooms in residential properties
• Offices and small commercial spaces requiring reliable central heating
• Replacement of older panel radiators with a compact, higher-output unit
• Wall-mounted installations where a discreet, flat-front radiator is preferred

Key specifications

• Type: double panel (Type 22) with integrated convectors for enhanced heat transfer
• Dimensions: 600 mm height × 1600 mm width
• Connection: designed for standard central heating pipework and wall mounting
• Heat delivery: combined radiative and convective output suitable for medium to large rooms
• Material: steel panels with convector fins between panels

How to use

Install the radiator on a suitable load-bearing wall using the supplied brackets and fasteners, aligning connections with the central heating pipework. Follow standard central heating procedures: flush and prepare the system, mount the radiator level, connect inlet and outlet pipes, and bleed air from the unit after filling. Adjust the flow using existing thermostatic valves or manual valves to achieve desired room temperature. Regularly check for leaks and ensure valves are accessible for maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the heating system is balanced and free from sludge or scale; periodic system flushing and the use of appropriate inhibitors will help maintain efficiency. Position furniture to allow unobstructed airflow across the radiator front and convectors to maximise convective heat distribution.
