Sterling sh700-a-5 Baseboard Heating Element 3/4 Inch X 5 Foot

Product Description

The Sterling sh700-a-5 is a 5-foot baseboard heating element designed for residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems. This element fits standard baseboard enclosures and delivers reliable, consistent radiant heat across a wide range of hydronic applications. It uses a 3/4 inch copper tube with aluminum fins to transfer heat from hot water into the surrounding air. The copper tube connects to your existing piping via a sweat connection, making installation straightforward for plumbers and HVAC technicians familiar with copper pipe work. The aluminum fins are evenly spaced along the full 5-foot length to maximize heat output and airflow efficiency. At approximately 2.5 pounds, this element is lightweight and easy to handle during installation or replacement. It is sold as an element only, so it fits directly into an existing baseboard enclosure without the need to replace the full housing. This makes it a cost-effective solution when the original element has corroded, become clogged with scale, or lost fin integrity over time. The sh700-a-5 is compatible with standard output hydronic baseboard systems and is a direct replacement for the 700-A1 element. HVAC technicians and plumbers working on hot water baseboard heating systems will find this element suitable for both new installations and service replacements. The 3/4 inch sweat connection is the most common size used in residential hydronic baseboards, ensuring broad compatibility with existing copper piping layouts. Proper installation requires soldering the copper tube ends to the supply and return lines, following standard sweat connection practices.
