Sterling 55wj-9a Kompak Baseboard Trim Strip 2.5 in White

Product Description

The STERLING 55wj-9a is a 2.5-inch Kompak baseboard trim strip finished in classic white, designed for use with Sterling hydronic baseboard heating systems. This trim strip serves as the enclosure component that covers and protects the heating element assembly while contributing to the system's clean, low-profile appearance. The radius-formed end covers and smooth enclosure design give the unit a sleek, flowing silhouette suited to residential interiors. Heavy-gauge brackets snap into place without sheet metal screws, reducing installation time. The part is installed by licensed plumbing and HVAC professionals during new hydronic baseboard installations or trim replacement service calls.

The 55wj-9a is intended for residential applications where wall space is limited and a low-height baseboard profile is required. Sterling Kompak hydronic baseboards are designed for standard residential heating systems. The trim strip's slim silhouette fits flush against walls in bedrooms, living areas, and other finished spaces. Telescoping fill-in sections eliminate the need for field cutting, reducing waste and labor. Available section lengths include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 foot units, with splice plates provided with 8-foot, 6-foot, and 5-foot lengths.
