XXL Cast Iron Radiators
We recently had a customer in Lancashire who required two very large King 470mm cast iron radiators for his conservatory. The radiators were both 38 sections long, weighing in at almost 300kg each. Combined, the two radiators weight about the same as a small car! We weren’t able to deliver the radiators in one piece; at over three metres long the radiators simply don’t fit on a pallet. Furthermore, at that length it would be very easy to damage the seals during transit.
We decided that the best course of action would be to send two of Castrads’ engineers to the customer’s house in order to finish the radiators on site. The radiators were first assembled into manageable pieces at our HQ near Manchester. These pieces of radiator were then pressure tested before being expertly spray painted by our finishing team. Once all the pieces of radiator had been finished, they were loaded into our vans and sent up to their final destination in Wigan.
Using sack trucks as a workbench, our engineers assembled the radiators piece by piece until all 38 sections were tightly screwed together, with silicone gaskets in between each section to create a heat-proof and watertight seal.
Once the cast iron radiator was assembled to the required length, our engineers use the sack trucks to manoeuvre the 300kg, 3m long radiator into an upright position before carefully placing it in a location suitable for the plumber to install it.
The 3m long King 470mm cast iron radiator was fitted with four leg sections, as seen in the photograph above. We do this to distribute the weight of the radiator across its length and minimise undue stress on the joints in the middle of the radiator.
This King 470mm was painted in Farrow & Ball Dimity to match our customer’s colour scheme. Though not one of our stock finishes, we matched this colour within a week of the customer placing the order. We’re able to match any Farrow & Ball, RAL or Little Greene Paint Company colour given just a week or so notice. We even have access to a chromatograph, which measures the composition of any colour so that we can find an exact match for any colour, even if you don’t have a name for it.
