Description
To speed up the chemical flushing process and improve the cleansing efficiency it is recommended to vibrate the radiator surface to loosen the deposits within. The RadHero has been developed for this purpose. Designed to fit into a standard SDS chuck the RadHero has a replaceable flat-faced head.
Caution
Always refer to the SDS drill manufacturers safety instructions before use, wear safety glasses and wear ear defenders. Never use the RadHero on any radiator that is connected to anything other than standard copper pipework. The vibration and removal of stubborn deposits may uncover hidden corrosion that is already present within the heating system leading to potential leaks. Loose paint may be damaged or removed. Always indemnify yourself from damage the use of the product may cause. Monitor each radiator for cold spots, noting their locations. An infra-red thermometer or thermal imaging cameras ideal for this.
Operating Instructions
During the power flush, check these locations to ascertain any stubborn areas where deposits may still remain. Attach the RadHero to your SDS drill, and set the drill to “hammer only” mode (non-rotational). Clean any debris or dirt from the face of the RadHero and the surface of the radiator. Hold the drill so that the face of the RadHero is perpendicular to the surface of the radiator at the problem area (see first diagram). Turn on the drill for 3 seconds whilst holding the RadHero against the radiator, applying moderate pressure. Check the radiator temperature and repeat the operation in other stubborn areas, if required.
Notes
1. Only use the RadHero on an individual radiator that is receiving the full flow of the flushing device, to ensure that loosened debris is carried away. We accept no liability for any damage caused with this product. The suitability and use is made by the user at the time.
2. Do not use excessive force. The more pressure applied to the SDS drill, the more powerful the vibrational force on the radiator will be, and you may damage the paint surface. Apply pressure in accordance with your assessment of the overall condition of the radiator. To reduce the chance of paint/surface damage you can cover the RadHero with a cloth or rubber pad.
3. The RadHero is not intended for either continuous use, or for use over the whole radiator area. Excessive use could result in damage to either the radiator or the RadHero head.
4. The RadHero is an impact instrument and the head and adapter will wear with time. The life of the head will be considerably reduced if the RadHero is applied to radiators at an angle.
