Slant-fin 104-002-080 Hot Water Baseboard Heater 8 Foot

Product Description

The SLANT-FIN 104-002-080 is a complete hot water baseboard heating assembly designed for residential hydronic systems. The unit ships fully assembled with the heating element, damper vane, and expansion cradles included and ready for installation. The copper element with aluminum fins measures 8 feet in length and connects via a 3/4-inch fitting. Heating capacity ranges from 150 to 840 BTU/h at 1 GPM and from 160 to 890 BTU/h at 4 GPM, making it suitable for a range of room load requirements. The enclosure is finished in Nu-White baked enamel over electro-galvanized cold rolled steel.

This baseboard assembly is intended for residential hot water heating applications, including single-family homes, apartments, and renovation projects. The 1-3/4-inch floor-to-front-cover opening promotes natural air circulation for effective convection heating. A fully modulating, pivot-mounted damper vane allows individual room temperature control. Extendable accessories accommodate wall-to-wall installation without cutting, and the pivot-mounted components are designed to hold position without noise during thermal expansion.
