SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Rad
iators are hot when in use, and as such, present a
risk of burns
to
users
on
prolonged
contact.
The
temperature
of
a
radiator
is
dependent
on
the
temperature
of
the
system
water,
as
set
by
the
system installer or user. Installers and users
should ensure that those who may come into close proximity to hot radiators are aware of the risk of burns. Installers
and users should take all necessary steps to minimise the risks of burns. If the risk is significant, consideration should be
given to installing low surface temperature radiators, or to placing guards in front of the radiators.
For the correct installation of radiators it is essential that the fixing of the radiator is carried out in such a way
that it is suitable for intended use AND predictable misuse. A number of elements
need to be taken into
consideration including the fixing method used to secure the radiator to the wall, the type and condition of the wall
itself, and any additional potential forces or weights that may happen to be applied to the radiator, prior to
finalising installation. IN ALL CASES IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A SUITABLY QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLER OR SIMILAR TRADESPERSON CARRIES OUT THE INSTALLATION.

INSPECT FOR DAMAGE
NOTE: Inspect materials for concealed shipping damage. You only have 10 days to file a freight claim. If items are
damaged or missing, please call Myson at 1-800-698-9690.
INSPECTION FOR COMPLETENESS
Unpack the radiator carefully to avoid damage or loss of parts. The Column Radiator will come with the following parts:
• Wall mounting bracket kit
• Plastic inserts for noise suppression
• Stainless steel solid plug
• Vent plug
IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT A SUITABLY QUALIFIED PROFESSIONAL
INSTALLER OR SIMILAR TRADESPERSON CARRIES OUT THE INSTALLATION.
Myson products are designed to be installed by professional tradespeople. Myson instructions are meant to be thorough;
however it is assumed that the installer has the appropriate technical knowledge related to building codes, standard trade
practices, and proper use of the tools of the trade. Should a homeowner without such knowledge or skill take it upon him/
herself to attempt the installation, Myson will not be responsible for any damages, injuries or unsatisfactory performance of the
Myson product used.
DESIGN AND LAYOUT CONDITIONS
Myson Column Radiators should only be used with a properly sized recirculation pump closed loop hydronic heating system.
Please consult national and local codes for specific restrictions that may be imposed on your installation. Position your radiator
away from your circulator pump to avoid either excess pressure that could force water out the air vent or excess suction that
could draw air into the system. The preferred positioning for the Column radiator is below a window where it can minimize
downdrafts from glazed areas.

Manufacture
MYSON COLUMN radiators are
manufactured using a unique
laser
welding proce
ss that virtually eliminates
the visible
welding
points
associated
with
the
traditional
methods
of
manufacturing
this
type
of
radiator.
The
clean
finish
significantly
enhances the
aesthetic qualities of the radiator.
Tube Details
Precision, D-
profile steel
tube is used
for
all
outside
surfaces
which
ensures
high
outputs
and
soft,
rounded
edges
for
maximum
safety.
All
MYSON
COLUMN radiators are
manufactured and tested to EN 442.
Paint Finish
Every MYSON COLUMN radiator
undergoes a multi-stage pre-treatment
process followed by an epoxy polyester
primer coating. A stoved
epoxy
polyester powder coat in white (RAL
9016) is applied to all front and rear
surfaces
allowing the MYSON
COLUMN to be fitted without further
painting.
MYSON COLUMN radiators carry a 5 year
guarantee against defects caused by
faulty materials or manufacture.
