Slant-fin 57188201080 Baseboard Enclosure 8 Ft Nu-white

Product Description

The SLANT-FIN 57188201080 is an 8-foot baseboard enclosure in Nu-White finish, sold without a heating element, and designed for residential and light commercial hydronic or steam heating systems. The enclosure accepts any of five interchangeable H-Series Slant-FIN heating elements, giving installers flexibility to match the output to the load. At 9-1/8 inches tall and 3-3/4 inches deep, the cabinet fits standard baseboard wall space while delivering outputs ranging from 590 to 790 BTU/h per foot at 180 degrees F and 1 GPM. A pivot-mounted, fully modulating damper provides individual room temperature control without additional hardware.

This enclosure is suited for single-family residential new construction, retrofits, and light commercial applications where wall space is limited or higher output density is required. It works as a primary heat emitter or as a supplement to existing baseboard in areas that need additional capacity. The extendable accessories allow wall-to-wall installation without field cutting, keeping the finished appearance clean. Flared element tubes simplify joining multiple sections on longer loop runs, and the design supports higher water velocities, lower pump loads, and extended loop runs compared to standard residential baseboard enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or hydronic heating technician familiar with IFGC and local mechanical codes. Shut down the boiler and depressurize the system before removing or replacing any baseboard components. Ensure the heating element is fully seated and section joints are secure before restoring system pressure. Do not operate without the element installed, as the enclosure alone does not provide heat output.
