Width + 1/2" / measure from quarter round to front of radiator + 1/2".
'OH' / is the dimension of the back overhang (if you want). (quarter round + kickboard)
'D' dimension / measure from the top of the radiator to bottom of sill.
Important
Please read ... all dimensions given will be the 'inside dimensions' of the radiator cabinet.
Your cabinet will extend (2-1/2" on each side) of the radiator, (2-1/2" in front) of the radiator and (2" above radiator). We can adjust the overall dimensions for you if we know there is an obstruction preventing your cabinet from fitting properly. Please call us if we need to change this. 1-800-519-8602
Reduce the size of your cover to fit into a tight space.
Left/Right or Both ...What side to make?
E' dimension .. How high to make cut? Standard cut on valve side is ( 9"H x 4"W ) On pipe side standard cut is ( 6"H x 4"W )
'HC' dimension ..Where to center the cut Measure from the back quarter-round molding or toe board to the center of the pipe.
Important Please Read
When cutting out for pipes on both sides, always measure from the top of the radiator when determining Length or 'L' dimension.
This will insure that you do not miss the extra length needed for the cover to clear bleeder valves or steam vents which are located near the top of the radiator.
The cabinet footprint is a transparent top view of how your radiator cover will fit over the radiator. Note the L+½ dimension and the W+ ½ dimension. These are the dimensions you give us for length and
width. Also note the OH dimension. This is the back overhang. The other dimensions are standard fixed dimensions we use to build the cabinet. These can be changed if you have space restrictions. Please call us if you
require special changes to your radiator covers.
Bleeder doors
..are needed for bleeding entrapped air in the radiator. The bleeder valves are located on the top side of the radiator where the air migrates. In most cases, it is just as easy to remove the cover to bleed the radiator of trapped air.
Valve doors ..are needed only if you have steam heat and adjust the valve often. With hot water heat the valve is usually set at the optimum flow level and seldom needs adjusting.
Dimensions Needed
E dimension: would be the height of the bleeder or valve from floor.
HC dimension: would be the center of bleeder or valve pipe from toe board or quarter round.
