Guarantee
The terms of guarantee on Faral products are:
• Die-cast aluminium radiators: The guarantee is valid for 10 years provided that the specific conditions of use laid out in Faral technical literature as well as in the instructions inside the packaging are adhered to and comply with the UNI8065 regulation on installation water treatment.
• Original accessories: 2 years guarantee.
The guarantee will be applied according to the European standard 1999/44/CE until the end of the second year. From the end of the second year on, the guarantee is limited to the sole replacement of the defective elements; the guarantee is provided only if the instructions for use reported below are adhered to. The customer has to demonstrate the date of purchase or installation.
FARAL radiators are heating emitters to be used exclusively in hot water heating systems with a maximum temperature of 110°C and a maximum working pressure as follows:
• for Etal, Tropical, 140, Longo models: 600 kPa (6 bar);
• for Alba, Trio, Esse, Fly, Alliance, Green, Tropical80,
Lineal models: 1000 kPa (10 bar);
• for Trio HP, Green HP, Maranello HP models: 1600 kPa (16 bar);
• for Claris models: 500 kPa (5 bar);
Obvious limitations of use must be observed, such as protection from ice, installation on suitable brackets or floor mount supports, prohibition of using the radiator as a shelf, a seat, a staircase, etc… and normal precautions of domestic living in order to avoid harm to people caused by impact against the radiator and similar occurrences. Regarding the heating system to which the radiator is connected it is necessary to provide:
• A correct earthing of the system and of its components including electric parts, inorder to avoid electrocutions by touching the exposed parts of the system including the radiators;
• A correct system temperature in order to avoid burns by touching the surface of radiators, especially in rooms for children, elderly people and handicapped people;
• A correct setting and regulation of the working temperature;
• A water flow rate not above 200% and not under 25% in comparison to the nominal capacity;
• A thermal output supplied by the boiler not above 25% in comparison to the thermal output of the radiator.
The rules regulating the treatment of system water being in force in the country where radiators are installed (the specific ones referring to the material of the radiator) must be adhered to.
The use of products for treating the system water not specifically prescribed by Faral as well as of anti-freeze products is on full responsibility of the installer and of
the supplier of these products. For top performances, the normal connection conditions and the following clearances must be respected:
• Distance from the wall: ≥ 2 cm
• Distance from the floor: ≥ 10 cm
• Distance from a possible shelf: ≥ 10 cm
The installation under shelves, in a niche or behind a radiator casing leads to a reduction of thermal output which is proportional to the kind of obstacle deviating the convective movements of air or blocking the emission of radiant heat. For periodic external cleaning of the radiator, no aggressive chemical products or abrasive material must be used, since a soft water-moistened cloth is sufficient. FARAL doesn’t give guarantees on non-original accessories (plugs, nipples, adapters, gaskets): do not use hemp or similar products since the original gaskets are absolutely watertight. The prescribed driving torques for accessories are the following:
• 100 Nm for nipples equipped with flat gaskets;
• 30 ÷ 40 Nm for caps or reductions equipped
with silicon O-ring gaskets.
Faral will not taken upon itself the responsibility for radiators assembled or disassembled by a third party; this is valid also for the mounting of plugs and adapters. Any risk caused by leaving parts of the package in places accessible to children who could swallow or be chocked by the packaging material must be avoided.
