Two water-carrying panels with a single bank of convector fins sit in a 70 mm case: 1972 W against 1305 W for a Type 11 the same size, for 14 mm more depth. Nett weight is 39.04 kg and it holds 8 litres of system water.

Applications & suitability

Where it goes

Wall-hung on a sealed or open-vented wet heating system, fixed no lower than 100 mm off the finished floor. At 500 mm high it suits a wall where vertical space is tight.

Typical job

A room needing roughly 1972 W on a 70 °C mean water temperature, or 2526 W where the system runs at 80 °C. Straight swap for a tired 500 × 1600 panel of the same size.

Works with / replaces

Pipe centres are 445 mm with a wall-to-centre of 65 mm or 80 mm, so it lines up with most existing 500 mm-high panels. Case depth is 70 mm against 56 mm for a Type 11 and 105 mm for a Type 22.

When not to choose this

The 1972 W figure is at ΔT50. Run a heat pump at low flow temperatures and it falls hard — Kartell’s own correction factor at ΔT30 is 0.515, so you would get about 1016 W from this radiator. Size at the ΔT you will actually run, and step up to a Type 22 or 33 if the load needs it.

Installation & compatibility

Fix no lower than 100 mm from the finished floor. Allow 35 mm from the wall to pipe centre for a manual valve, or 45 mm for a TRV. Kartell requires the system to be cleansed and dosed with inhibitor to BS 7593:2019 — skipping it invalidates the guarantee, which covers product replacement only. Leave the protective packaging on until the radiator is fixed and the tappings are cut.
