Model R Heatrim baseboard panels --stylish modern comfort that's easy to install 'ymmetrically styled for modern, low-silhouette aopearanee ..designed for fast, low-cost installation...and engineered for peak hydronic performance... that's Model R Heatrim, a residential baseboard from American-Standard. Compact Model R Heatrim stands only 7%'' high and extends only 2'V," into the room when set flush against the wall, and even less wnen recessed to plaster depth. Homeowners 'ike the simple, uncluttered look of Model R Heatrim panels . ana the decorating freedom provided by the white semigioss prime coat, which may be left as is or repainted later (with any good duality alkyd base paint) to match room decor. Installers lu<e the convenience of working with this oasecoaro. The back panel stands unaided against the wall so that all back panels, filler and joining pieces can ce positioned and fastened to the wall by one man. Brackets, dampers, front panels and accessories snap right on No tools needed. No time wasted. Two high-capacity heatm.: elements are available for installation flexibility. And Moce' R Heatrim is packaged to meet any need. It's shipoea completely-assembled, bulk or individual packages ,n 2. 4. 5. 6. 7, and 8-foot lengths. Also available is a 2-`---t completely-assembled unit, plus 10 and 12-foot enclosures 'either bulk-packaged or assembled). All enclosures are shipped in convenient "pull-tape" packages for easy open ing. No matter what the requirements, Model R Heatr ~ foes the jcb with efficiency, economy and style.

This installation results in substantial savings in labor and material in that valves and additional piping are eliminated. The Comfort Engineered Design Procedure has been devel oped by American-Standard especially for mainless systems to pro vide a quality installation at low cost. 1. Calculate the heat loss of each room, using a recognized formula such as outlined in the I = 8 = R Heat Loss Calculation Guide or the ASHRAE Guide. 2. Lay out the design of the system, using a recommended guide such as the American-Standard Comfort Engineered Design Proce dure. the l = s = R Installation Guide, or ASHRAE Guide. 3. Select the prooer length of Model R Heatrim using the tables on pages 4 and 5: or the Comfort Engineered Design Slide Rule. 4. To complete the installation, install Model R Heatrim enclosures wail to wail to cover the bare pipe. Tabulated ratings show heat emission expressed in 8tu/hr per lineal foot of Model R Heatrim for average water temperatures ranging from 220 to lTG'F. ano for average water flow rates of 500 pounds per hour and 2C00 pcunas per hour. Since heat loss calculation is expressed m Btu/hr, selection of Model R Heatrim can be made right from these tables. The elements themselves serve as part of the mam. Where structural arrangements such as doorways occupy part of the waif, the piping goes down under the floor and comes back uo at the exact spot necessary for connection to the next element. End caps or valve enclosures are used for finished appear ance at these points. circulators A standard circulator (7-8 foot head) will meet most requirements for mamless residential installations.

Original Fill--recommended near boiler piping and procedure for filling system is shown in the appropriate Technical Catalog Bulletin and Installation and Maintenance Manual for the American-Standarc boiler to be used. 2. System Operation--air and gas liberated on heating the water ithe bo.ier must be prevented from circulating through the system Many American-Standard boilers have a built-in air-eliminating de vice. Other boilers must be piped with an external air-eliminating device. When Model R Heatrim units are used with mains and risen in either one-pipe or two-pipe systems, each section or panel shouic be vented at the return connection. A sweat elbow with a Va-mcr vent connection is available for this application. Orains should be provided when necessary. expansion Provision must be made to prevent distortion or noise due to expan sion.
