Sterling 55wq-9a Senior Baseboard Trim Strip 2.5in White

Product Description

The STERLING 55wq-9a is a 2.5-inch Senior baseboard trim strip finished in white, designed for hydronic heating systems in residential and light commercial settings. This trim strip is part of the Sterling Senior (Hi-Output) baseboard line, built for installations where wall space is limited but heating output cannot be compromised. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbing professionals install these components as part of hot-water baseboard heating systems. The enclosure features smooth, radius-formed end covers and a sleek profile that blends with interior trim. Heavy-gauge brackets snap into place without sheet metal screws, reducing installation time on the job.

The Sterling Senior baseboard line is engineered for large residential and light commercial hydronic heating applications. The trim strip works within a system that includes telescoping fill-in sections, eliminating the need for cutting and reducing material waste on site. Splice plates are provided with 8-foot, 6-foot, and 5-foot lengths. Baseboard lengths are available in 2-foot through 8-foot sections, packaged to customer needs. This white finish is suited for standard interior wall environments where a clean, neutral appearance is required alongside functional heating performance.
