Features of the Improved "PeerVent" Unit
The "PeerVent" Unit of today has many important improvements, including the new "PeerFin" radiator. This radia tor consists of two large copper alloy tubes, each surrounded by a series of closely

The new "PeerVent" Unit can be equipped with a positive-action "PeerTherm" Control, which automatically prevents the intake of cold air at any time when the room temperature falls below 65 (or any other predetermined temperature
within a range of 15).
Several types of "PeerVent" Units have now been standardized, and one or another of them will meet practically any architectural requirement, including instal lations in existing; buildings. Six different types of control have also been standard ized, including automatic control through out, hand control throughout, and various combinations of hand and automatic regu
