INSTALLATION HEIGHT
There are limitations in terms of the minimum instal-
lation height of the radiant panels, according to the
average temperature values of the heating fluid. The
recommended minimum values are shown in the ta-
ble below, applicable for places where people carry
out stationary work.

SUSPENSION METHODS
The radiant panels can be suspended in various ways
from the structures of the buildings. The illustrations
in this manual show several suspension examples.

By fitting the tie rods in the relevant holes of the
crosspieces, on the upper part of the radiant pan-
els, it is possible to create non-visible suspensions
arranged with fixed and modular pitches of approxi-
mately 2 m. Since suspensions with a different pitch,
ranging between 1 and 2.5 m, are envisaged, the tie
rods must support the panel on the bottom side of
the plate, or be provided as indicated in the next
pages.
The suspension tie rods are not included in the sup-
ply of the radiant panels and must be provided by
the installer.
They can be installed with steel cables, with threaded
rods, with chains or with perforated straps and must
be adjustable.
The length of the suspension tie rods must be pro-
portionate to the total thermal expansion of the radi-
ant strip: it is therefore necessary to take into account
both the total maximum length and the average op-
erating temperature of the heat transfer fluid, in or-
der to limit the angular displacement of the tie rods
to acceptable values.
The minimum length of the tie rods recommended
for the various lengths and for the various operating
temperatures of the radiant panels are indicated in
the relevant table.
-
Check that the chosen ceiling fastening system is
-
compatible with the weight of the panel and com-
-
plies with the standards in force.
The head and intermediate modules of the radiant
panels can be joined together by clamp-on sleeves,
in order to compose all the desired lengths.
