Sterling 55wkp6a-3 Hydronic Baseboard 6 Ft White

Product Description

The STERLING 55wkp6a-3 is a complete 3/4-inch, 6-foot Kompak hydronic baseboard heater finished in classic white. Designed for low-profile residential installations, this unit delivers hot-water radiant heat through boxed and serrated aluminum fins that increase radiating surface area and direct convection airflow for efficient heat output. The fingertip temperature-control damper allows easy output adjustment while the exclusive Silent Glide Shoe lets the heating element expand and contract without noise. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically handle installation in hydronic heating systems.

The 55wkp6a-3 is built for residential applications where wall space is limited and a slim, low-height enclosure is required. The 6-foot length suits standard room perimeter runs and is supplied with splice plates for multi-section installations. Smooth radius-formed end covers and a flowing enclosure profile allow the unit to blend with interior trim. Telescoping fill-in sections eliminate field cutting and reduce waste on the job site.

Compatibility

Designed for use in residential hydronic heating systems as part of the Sterling Kompak baseboard series, compatible with 3/4-inch hot-water supply lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or hydronic heating contractor in accordance with applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and drain the hydronic system before making any pipe connections to the baseboard. Ensure the heating element is properly supported by the snap-in brackets before pressurizing the system. Do not overtighten connections at the flared tube end, as the flare is designed to seat without coupling hardware.
