INTRODUCTION
The Myson Décor Radiator will keep any room in comfort and style. We at Myson Inc. thank you
for your purchase of the Décor Radiator. Each radiator combines Myson’s compact design and
advanced steel construction with a durable baked epoxy/polyester enamel powder coat finish.
Myson’s sleek styling and thorough testing provides attractiveness and dependability. Myson’s
goal is to assure the highest performance, quality, reliability and outstanding customer service.
CAUTION
Step 1 Read this entire instruction manual thoroughly before beginning installation.
Step 2 To ensure full efficiency of your Myson Décor Steel Panel Radiator, please follow all
the instructions carefully observing the caution notes for each step.
Step 3 Failure to follow these instructions will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
APPLICATION
Myson radiators are only for use in recirculating closed loop hydronic-heating systems. These
radiators are not recommended for gravity systems. Myson Décor Radiators are designed to work
with a maximum working pressure of 66 PSI and no more then 230 degrees F water temperature.
DO NOT USE STEAM IN THESE RADIATORS.
DESIGN AND LAYOUT CONDITIONS
Myson Décor Radiators should only be used with a 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 Décor radiator is below a window where it can
minimize downdrafts from glazed areas.
Myson Radiators may be hot to the touch. Generally the surface temperature is at 10-12
degrees Fahrenheit below system water temperature. Care must be taken to consider room
occupant’s ability to sense or understand that radiators may be hot. Should radiator surface or
system water temperature be an issue, please contact MYSON at 1-800-698-9690 for information
on the MYSON LST radiators. LST (Low Surface Temperature) Radiators can be a viable solution
where temperatures are a safety concern.

Rough-in
Rough-ins given are for MYSON TRV and Control Valves only. Valve specifications vary by
manufacturer. Myson will not be responsible for damage or repair of property for rough-in with
non-Myson Valves. Prior to committing pipe work behind finish floor or wall materials, consult
Myson for assistance at 1-800-698-9690.
Dimensions are in inches. All valves are by MYSON and are 1/2” thread engagement in a vertical
pattern. For two LKD valves, use LKD and TRV dimensions.
For the 2, 3 & 4 Tier Radiators only,
there is not sufficient room with the
standard mounting plates to pipe
through the wall and make the angle
into the radiator. You must order the
optional 1-1/8” Offset Mounting Plate
that appears on page 7 (Mounting
Details) to accomplish this.

Nylon shipping plugs are meant solely for keeping paint from radiator threads during the
painting process. Failure to remove plastic plugs and install the stainless metal plugs can
result in significant property damage if heating system is run with plastic plugs in place.
Step 1 Remove all plastic shipping plugs on the radiator.
Step 2 Before proceeding clean tappings of any foreign material.

Myson products are designed to be installed by professional trades people. 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.
NOTE: MYSON products have BSP male and female threads. BSP threads are a straight running
thread NOT tapered like NPT. Myson Radiator Valves are designed with BSP threads at radiator
side and NPT or compression connections to system piping.
Step 1 Clean all threaded surfaces (both external and internal).
Step 2 Apply teflon tape or pipe dope to the male threads, leaving the first thread exposed. If using
pipe dope, also apply to the female threads of the radiator. Common practice to seal BSP
threads is to use heavy duty teflon tape, such as is used to seal gas pipe fittings, or anaerobic
pipe dope.
Step 3 Using accepted trade practices assemble and wrench tighten fittings until proper
alignment is obtained.

Failure to flush system of debris and flux may cause premature radiator failure, which
can result in leaks and property damage NOT covered under the Myson Warranty.
SYSTEM START-UP
Step 1 Fill and vent the system.
Step 2 Run the system for two (2) hours at full temperature with all radiator valves in the
open position.
Step 3 Shut off and drain the system while the water is still hot.
Step 4 Refill the system.
Step 5 Reheat, vent, and balance the system.
Step 6 Once the Décor Radiator is filled with water the system should be left filled.
Step 7 System should be checked for leaks on seasonal start-ups. Leaks must be repaired
as automatic system fill valves allow fresh water/oxygen into the system attacking
radiators internally.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
1 Once operating, avoid the introduction of fresh water and oxygen to the system to
prevent corrosion.
2 An occasional wiping with a damp cloth using a non-abrasive detergent can protect
the finish of your Myson Décor Panel Radiator.
3 The use of abrasive cleaners will damage the surface of your radiator and void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
System Start-Up & Maintenance
ADDITIVES
Treatment of the primary water is not usually required in a properly designed system.
Treatment may be necessary if either:
1 Local waters are known for their content of corrosive material or if high bacterial levels
are present.
2 If there is a possibility that the system may be idle during a prolonged period of freezing
temperatures, system should be either drained or protected with antifreeze. If either
corrosion inhibitors or anti-freeze is to be used, it should be added AFTER the system
has been flushed in the final stages. Use only anti-freeze suitable for potable water.
Do not put heating system into operation without checking for leaks with the system up to
full operating temperature. Leaks can appear in a heated system that were not noticeable
with a cold system or air pressure check.
