Default Do you believe these BTU's?

I've been assuming that the heater is hydronic. What leads you to
believe it's electric?


*The giveaway is watts. *They could be self contained hydronic heaters with
electric elements to heat the liquid. *I would be concerned about the
heaters being approved for use in the USA and also whether the electrical
connections are compatible with USA methods of connection.


I assumed that they were electric for the same reason - I've never
seen watts as a unit measurement for anything other than an electric
heater/radiator. *After a quick Google I found the technical specs and
it is indeed a hydronic radiator. *The specs have installation
instructions and reference PFTE tape and valves, so that's pretty
definitive.

I wonder why they give both BTU/h and watts...

OK, now that we've established their hydronic nature, do you believe
the BTU ratings?
