Sterling 55wkp2a-3 Hydronic Baseboard 2 Foot White

Product Description

The STERLING 55wkp2a-3 is a 2-foot Kompak hydronic baseboard heater finished in classic white. It is designed for low-profile installation in residential spaces where wall height or clearance is limited. The unit houses a 3/4-inch element and uses hot water from a hydronic heating system to deliver quiet, consistent radiant and convective heat. Licensed HVAC techs and plumbers install this type of baseboard as part of a zoned hot-water heating system. The aluminum fin-and-tube element transfers heat efficiently while the enclosure keeps airflow directed into the room. The slim Kompak profile suits tight installations without sacrificing output.

The 55wkp2a-3 is intended for residential hydronic heating applications. It fits standard baseboard runs along exterior walls and in rooms where space-saving, low-height enclosures are preferred. The 2-foot section can be used as a standalone unit or as a fill-in piece within a longer baseboard run. The white powder-coat finish is designed to blend with standard interior trim. This heater is appropriate for single-family homes, condominiums, and similar residential settings served by a hot-water boiler system.

Key Features

• Silent Glide Shoe allows the heating element to expand and contract without noise during operation
• Boxed and serrated aluminum fins increase radiating surface area and direct convection airflow
• Heavy gauge brackets snap into place without sheet metal screws, speeding installation
• Telescoping fill-in sections eliminate the need to cut sections, reducing waste on the job
• Radius-formed end covers blend smoothly with the enclosure for a finished appearance
• Flared tube at one end removes the need for couplings at that connection point

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for residential hydronic baseboard heating systems using 3/4-inch element connections. Splice plates are provided with select longer lengths for multi-section runs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with hydronic heating systems. Shut down the boiler and relieve system pressure before making any pipe connections. Follow local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) for pipe sizing, pressure ratings, and connection requirements. Ensure the element is fully purged of air after filling the system to prevent air locks and uneven heat distribution.
