Radiator Stelrad VERTEX PLAN typ 22 500x200 mm — 1980 W

Stelrad VERTEX PLAN typ 22 500x200 mm is a compact panel radiator designed for central heating systems, offering a rated heat output of 1980 W. The radiator combines two convection panels with convector elements to deliver efficient heat transfer from a relatively small footprint. Its slim 200 mm depth and 500 mm height make it suitable where space is limited but higher output is required.

Advantages

The radiator features a double-panel construction with a convector per panel for increased surface area and improved convective flow, resulting in consistent room warming. Its compact dimensions allow installation in tight spaces while providing a high nominal output. The unit is compatible with standard central heating connections and is built for straightforward mounting and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Small to medium residential rooms requiring high heat output from a compact radiator
• Commercial premises with limited wall space where efficient heating is needed
• Replacement of older radiators with a higher-performance, shallow-profile unit

Key specifications

• Type: double-panel radiator with convectors (Type 22)
• Height: 500 mm
• Depth: 200 mm
• Rated heat output: 1980 W (as specified for standard temperature difference)
• Connection: compatible with standard central heating pipework
• Material and finish: steel panel construction with factory-applied protective coating

How to use

Install the radiator on a suitable load-bearing wall using appropriate brackets and fixings, positioning it at the recommended height above the floor and clear of obstructions to allow natural convection. Connect the radiator to the central heating system following local plumbing codes and ensure all connections are tightened and sealed. After installation, bleed air from the radiator to remove trapped air and balance the system to achieve the specified output. Regularly check valves and connections for leaks and maintain the outer surface clean to preserve heat transfer efficiency.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the radiator in properly insulated rooms and balance the heating system to match room requirements. When replacing an existing unit, confirm mounting bracket positions and pipe centers match or adjust accordingly. Follow manufacturer guidance and local regulations for installation and commissioning by a qualified installer where required.
