The smart, low-styled, 8-inch steel enclosure is ideal for in stallation under low windows, along glass walls and other height-restricted areas, as well as for long runs. Extending only 3 inches from the wall, Model L Heatrim takes up a minimum of space and may be recessed to depth of plaster. Everything about the new Model L is designed to satisfy the homeowner, installer and builder. For the homeowner, Model L Heatrim offers beauty of design, decorating freedom and quiet, efficient operation. For the installer, special features such as the multi-purpose, snap-in type support bracket, newly designed element slide cradle and handsome accessories that simply snap into place, as well as a practical variety of lengths -- 4, 5, 6 and 8-foot -- speed up installation and reduce costs. And the newly designed fins provide ease and safety in handling. In addition to the smart new design and versatility of Model L Heatrim, the builder will appreciate the attractive, white, satin-like prime coat, which may be easily painted for added decorating harmony, or left as is for economy in time and expense usually required for finishing. When you select Model L Heatrim, you may choose either the Model 85 (%-inch) or Model 110 (1-inch) element. Either com bination gives you two effectively different Heatrim models for a variety of uses. (See special element design features on next page.) Hydronics is the science of heating and cooling with water. New Model H Heatrim Baseboard Panels by AmericanStandard, as with the Model L, provide easy, low-cost installa tion and all the comfort advantages of modern hydronic heating. Model H Heatrim has a lOWinch high steel enclosure which provides high-heat capacity, making it particularly well suited to jobs where more than average heat is required and/or where installation area is limited. Model H Heatrim may be installed against the wall, or recessed to depth of plaster. Homeowners will find the trim, modern lines and compact design of Model H Heatrim panels pleasant to live with and completely compatible for any decorating scheme. They es pecially will enjoy the quiet, clean, draft-free warmth these panels provide. Installers will find Model H Heatrim easy and economical to install. It's available in a variety of convenient 4, 5, 6 and 8-foot panel lengths. The newly designed elements, with no sharp edges, facilitate handling on the job. Other features that provide for more efficient operation and installation are a newly designed support bracket and a special element slide cradle. Model H Heatrim is finished in a gray prime coat for easy painting or finishing. As with Model L Heatrim panels, a choice of two heating elements is available. The new Model 85 (% inch) or Model 110 (1 inch) can be installed with equal ease and with the same basic accessory items. With two enclosures--the Model L and Model H--and a choice of two heating elements, American-Standard gives you four completely new Heatrim models for every type installation. 00451  Model 85 heating element features a nominal 44-inch copper tube on which 0.011-inch thick by 2%-inch square aluminum fins are collar bonded, 52 per lineal foot. These heatreflecting fins are of a channel-edge design with one fin edge tightly butted against another. This special butt-edge design eliminates expansion and contraction noises. This design also results in a stronger finned-tube element with no sharp edges, making it easier and safer to handle. Output is increased because of the improved flue effect created by the channel edge design on both sides of the element. Model 85 element may be used either in the Model H or Model L enclosure and is shipped in 4, 5, 6 and 8-foot lengths. Model 110 heating element features a nominal 1-inch copper tube with 0.032-inch thick by 2%-inch square aluminum fins, 48 per lineal foot. Fins are edge-bonded to tubing for permanency. All fin corners are rounded for convenience and safety in handling, plus increased rigidity. Both Models 85 and 110 heating elements are furnished with one end expanded to receive the unexpanded end of another. This permits.sweating the elements without the use of couplings, which saves time and material. Model 110 heating element may be used either in Model H or Model L enclosure and is shipped in 4, 5 and 6-foot lengths. Element slide cradle, formed of terne plate for lubricant slickness, fits into a duo-grooved bracket track, providing noiseless lineal expansion of heating element and installation ease. Model L snap-in support bracket slips into slots provided on back plate. Formed of sturdy, one-piece steel construction, it's installed in minimum time with no tools. Bracket provides both support for front panel and track for heating element. Model H hanger bracket is spot welded on back plate, which eliminates or step in installation. Bracket is of sturdy, two-piece steel construction. Additional bracket may be ordered if required; they are attached to back plate with screws. enclosure and adjacent removed without the a access to valve, air vent Model l end box- valve enclosure is not snap-locks into piece,' and adjacent front provided to clear e copper tubing.

A smartly designed, hinged door provides easy access to valve, air vent or balancing fitting. Model H end box is used whenever a valve enclosure is not required. A knockout to clear either a 44-inch or 1-inch copper tube is provided. medal H projecting corner cover Model H corner covers are designed to provide an attractive, uninterrupted ap pearance around inside and outside corners. Outside corner covers consist of three pieces -a top piece that slides over top of back plate, a telescopic piece connecting air vanes and a front piece that connects the enclosure front panels. The inside corner cover, also consisting of three similar pieces, attaches in the same way. Model H corner covers are fabricated from sturdy sheet steel and are finished in a prime gray coat. Corner covers and enclosure components are per fectly matched for utmost ease and accuracy in assembly and installation. model H inverted corner cover model H telescopic joining piece Model H telescopic and joining pieces- 14-inch long telescopic piece fills in gaps up to 12V4 inches between Model H Heatrim panels--eliminates the need for costly, on-the-job cutting of en closure.

They are furnished with every 4, 5, 6 and 8-foot length of Heatrim. 00453 Heatriru ratings and data Approved l=B=R water ratingt-eapacifiet Btu per lineal foot numbtr rat* Ibs/hr tlamcnt tube aize enclosure hbifht 220s 85-L 85-H 500 2000 500 2000 %' (85) iova" mi 780 820 1010 1070 110-L 110-H 500 2500 500 2500 1" (110) 8' (L) 1" (110) 10%' (H) 760 810 980 1050 Approved l = B= R water ratings shown above tor AmericanStandard Heatrim Panels (with Model SS element) are based on a water flow of 500 pounds per hour with a pressure drop of 0.047 inches of water per lineal foot and a water flow of 2000 pounds per hour with a pressure drop of 0.530 inches of water per lineal foot. Heatrim panels (with Model 110 element) are based on a water flow of 500 pounds per hour with a pressure drop of 0.013 inches of water per lineal foot and a water flow of 2500 pounds per hour with a pressure drop of 0.220 inches of water per lineal foot. As allowed by the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers (l -- B = R) Testing and Rating Code for Baseboard Type of Radia tion, 15% is added to water heat capacity. avaraga water temperature-' F 210* 200* 100* 110* 170* 710 650 590 530 470 750 690 620 560 500 930 850 770 690 610 980 900 810 730 640 700 640 580 520 460 750 680 620 550 490 900 820 740 660 590 960 870 790 700 630 These ratings are based on active (finned) Heatrim lengths. Dif ference between active length and total length of the standard Heatrim heating elements is 2-11/32 inches for the Model 85 element and 2H inches for the Model 110 element Non-ferrous fins on Model 85 elements measure 288 x 2% * 0.011 inches, spaced 52 fins per foot. Non-ferrous fins on Model 110 elements measure 2H x 2% x 0.032 inches, spaced 48 fins per foot. The use of l = B = R ratings at water flow rates of 2000 or 2500 pounds per hour Is limited to installations where the water flow rate through the baseboard unit is equal to or greater than 2000 or 2500 pounds per hour. Where the water flow rate through the baseboard unit is not known, the l = B = R rating at the standard water flow rate of 500 per hour must be used. American-Standard Models L and H Heatrim Baseboard Panels are another development in hydronics, the science of heating and cooling with water. 00455 Form No. 118-2 (Rev.
