Slant-fin 101-401-070 Hot Water Baseboard Heater 7 Ft

Product Description

The SLANT-FIN 101-401-070 is a slim-profile, hot water baseboard heater designed for residential hydronic heating systems. The unit delivers 160 to 840 BTU/h at 1 GPM and up to 890 BTU/h at 4 GPM, making it effective across a wide range of water temperatures from 110 to 220 degrees F. The copper element and aluminum fin assembly sit inside a cold-rolled rephosphorized heavy-gauge galvanized steel enclosure finished in Nu-White baked enamel. At 7 feet in length, this section is shipped fully assembled and is installed by licensed plumbers or hydronic heating contractors.

This baseboard heater is suited for single-family homes, apartments, and renovation projects where a low-profile heating solution is needed. The 1-3/4-inch floor-to-front cover opening promotes natural convection airflow, and the pivot-mounted damper allows individual room temperature control. A 2-inch splice plate is included for joining sections. The unit accepts a flared element tube option and accommodates a return line with a short-radius return bend for flexible piping layouts.
