Weil-mclain 190100004 Cast Iron Baseboard 1600 Btu/h 2 Ft

Product Description

The WEIL-MCLAIN 190100004 is a complete cast iron Snug Baseboard radiator section rated at 1600 BTU/h, designed for low-pressure hot water and gravity hydronic heating systems. At 2 feet in length with a 3/4-inch threaded connection, this unit delivers a combined radiant and convective heat output through its dense cast iron body. Cast iron retains heat longer than steel or aluminum alternatives, allowing the system to coast through short burner cycles and maintain steadier room temperatures. Licensed plumbers and hydronic heating technicians typically handle installation in residential perimeter wall applications.

This baseboard radiator is suited for residential hydronic systems operating in low-pressure hot water or gravity heating configurations. Its compact footprint makes it well-suited for perimeter wall runs where standard fin-tube baseboard may not provide sufficient thermal mass. The 3/4-inch threaded inlet and outlet allow direct connection to standard residential hydronic supply and return piping without adapters in most configurations.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides high thermal mass and long-term heat retention
• Rated 1600 BTU/h output for efficient room heat delivery
• 3/4-inch threaded connections fit standard residential hydronic piping
• 2-foot section length allows flexible baseboard layout configurations
• Compatible with low-pressure hot water and gravity heating systems
• Combines radiant and convective heat transfer for even room temperature distribution

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for residential low-pressure hot water and gravity hydronic heating systems using 3/4-inch threaded supply and return connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified hydronic heating technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and ASHRAE hydronic system guidelines. Drain and de-pressurize the system completely before removing or connecting any baseboard sections. Ensure all threaded joints are properly sealed with an approved thread sealant rated for hydronic service. Bleed air from the section after filling and pressurizing the system to restore proper flow and heat output.
