Slant-fin 101-002-030 Baseboard Heating Element 3/4 in 3 Ft

Product Description

The SLANT-FIN 101-002-030 is a hot water baseboard heating element designed for residential hydronic heating systems. Built with a copper tube and aluminum fin construction, this element delivers efficient heat transfer across its 3-foot length. Each aluminum fin features a formed flange with four teeth that increase thermal contact and lock the fins uniformly in place at 55 fins per foot. One end of the element tube is expanded to receive the unexpanded end of another element, allowing for tool-free inline expansion without couplings. An expansion cradle is included. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers install this element as part of a complete hot water baseboard assembly.

This heating element is suited for residential hot water baseboard heating installations. It connects to 3/4-inch supply and return piping and is used on Fine/Line 30 baseboard systems. The interlocking fin design ensures consistent fin spacing along the full length of the element, maintaining airflow uniformity and heat output. It is well suited for new installations and replacement applications in hydronic baseboard heating zones.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with hydronic heating systems. Shut down and depressurize the heating system and allow all components to cool before servicing. Follow local mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines for proper element support, pitch, and expansion allowance. Do not overtighten connections at the tube ends, as the expansion joint design requires freedom of movement.
