<div>Nice finish on the Sonnen install. It looks
fabulous. My understanding is the Eco 2-8 integrate the
4kW radian, and the 10-16 incorporates the 8kW radian.
I assume generator support is fully supported</div>

<div dir="ltr">I promised a picture of the Sonnen
installation. As these units are getting close
to being appliances in the same vein as home
audio, we wanted to have a clean finish so we
made some mill work to complete the top of the
unit to the ceiling and hide the ugly conduits.
