Curved Radiators and Segmented Radiators
Panel radiators can be factory curved or field curved to follow architectural walls. Concave and convex curves are possible. Field curved radiators suit larger curvatures, for example in auditoriums, lobbies, and cafeterias. This is a very cost-effective way to heat the perimeter of a curved building. Only single panel models can be field curved. The minimum radius of field curved radiators is 15′ with a minimum length of 15′. Factory curved radiators are used for smaller curves, such as bay windows or tight curves found in fine homes or historic buildings. Factory curved radiators have a maximum length of 20′ for non-finned radiators and 16′ for finned models. Their minimum radius is 5′ for non-finned models, and 10′ for finned models. Some double panel models can be factory curved.
Segmented Radiators
One-piece, factory segmented radiators can be ordered to fit bay windows. This creates a more finished look compared to three separate panels. The maximum angle of the bend is 135 degrees, as measured from face to face of the adjoining radiator segments.
