They , apply only to installed radia* tors exposed in a normal manner; not to radiators installed behind enclosures, grilles, or under shelves. For Btu per hour ratings at other temperatures, divide table values by factors found in Table 6.

* These ratings are based on steam at 215 F and air at 70 F. They apply only to installed radia tors exposed in a normal manner; not to radiators installed behind enclosures, grilles, or under - shelves. For Btu per hour ratings at other temperatures, divide table values by factors found-in Table 6.
6 Length equals number of sections times 1} in. 4 Overall height and leg height, as produced by some manufacturers, are one inch (l in.) greater than shown in Columns A and D. Radiators may be furnished without legs. Where greater than standard leg
heights are required this dimension shall be 44 in. Or equal.
RADIATORS
Column and large-tube radiators are no longer manufactured, but since many of these units are still in use, Tables 1 and 2 are included to provide principal dimensions and average ratings of them.
The smaU-tube type radiators, with a spacing of If in. per section, are about the only available cast-iron radiating surface for homes and office buildings. Small-tube radiators occupy less space than the older column and large-tube radiators, and are particularly suited for installation in recesses.
After a study of the demand for various sizes of radiators, the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers, in cooperation with the Division- of Simplified Practice, National Bureau of Standards, established Simplified Practice Recommendation R174-47 for small-tube cast-iron radiators. Table 3 shows the size and dimensions now being manufactured.
Wall radiators are hung from wall brackets and are well adapted to use
