EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
A hydronic radiator replacement example for two existing radiator positions contains 7 itemized lines totaling $2,790.00 before tax or markup. The actual app PDF, measurement basis, project boundaries and a matching how-to guide are available here; every rate is fictional.
What this example covers
Replace two selected hydronic radiators at existing accessible positions, reconnecting suitable pipework and testing the system.
Use this example to see a complete document for two existing radiator positions. The brief is tied to Cincinnati, Ohio for a plausible project setting; the amounts are fictional input values and do not represent local market prices. The estimating guide explains the decisions behind these lines.

Itemized hydronic radiator replacement example
These are the same quantities and unit prices used by the downloadable app PDF. A cost line can represent measured work, a selected product allowance or a distinct site task. Check which interpretation applies before replacing any amount.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| System and position survey | 1 job | $195.00 | $195.00 |
| Drain-down and protection | 1 job | $250.00 | $250.00 |
| Radiator allowance | 2 each | $420.00 | $840.00 |
| Valve and fitting allowance | 2 sets | $165.00 | $330.00 |
| Radiator fitting labor | 2 each | $390.00 | $780.00 |
| Refill and leak check | 1 job | $245.00 | $245.00 |
| Old unit disposal | 1 job | $150.00 | $150.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | $2,790.00 | ||
How the subtotal is calculated
The example line for radiator allowance is 2 each × $420.00 = $840.00. This line is one part of the complete 7-item estimate and uses a fictional unit rate.
The document sums the rounded line amounts to $2,790.00. Tax and markup are not included; a zero tax field in a sample document does not mean a real project is tax-exempt. Confirm the actual treatment for the job you are quoting.
Measurement to verify: Measure radiator size, heat-output basis, bracket position and valve connection at each location. Selection to verify: Keep radiator products, valves and connection fittings separate.
Assumptions and exclusions
Confirm isolation, drain-down and refill plan before removing old units.
Outside the stated scope: No boiler replacement, new pipe routes or whole-system balancing.
Corroded nearby pipework or unsuitable output selection changes scope. If the scope changes after a client reviews the estimate, update the relevant quantities, allowances and written exclusions before sharing a revised PDF.
