We selected Modul from Epecon as our new radiators
When selecting a new radiator, we focused on some key things:
- Something from a vendor that was likely to stay in business for a long time
- A vendor that did provide a lot of different sizes so that we can make changes in the future
- A number of vendors in our neighbourhood who carried stock from our selected vendor
We will hopefully in the future likely find a suitable radiator of the same kind as we have now installed, with the same connection properties and wall mounts.
Finding new radiators on the web is easy. And the vendors do provide a lot of information. The selection has to be made mostly based on availability and looks. We could have selected other than Epecon, there are more vendors. The Epecon radiators came with the connections we needed for easy mounting of the radiators. This made it easy for us to find a radiator that fit nicely as a replacement for the old radiator.
If there is a standard for Radiator sizes, it has changed
The new radiator sizes, although similar to the old ones, are still different. This means that when mounting the new Epecon radiator, it is not just to unfasten the old one and then mount the new one. What is needed is to make a number of adjustments to the piping, as well as to the wall mounting of the radiators. These changes are not very hard to do. The hard thing is the first time when you have to figure out what is needed to do it, what tools and what parts you will need.
