In general, no reason it won't work. There are two key items to pay attention to; maximum temperature and system volume. The maximum temperature rating for this tank is 200 deg F, which is likely fine if your baseboards are hot water. If they are steam then this is not the correct unit (not just based on temperature). Sizing of the expansion tank depends on the volume of your system, baseboards are probably lower in volume than most radiant systems, but that will depend on the exact system. The PEX Supply site actually has a handy calculator here: http://www.pexsupply.com/pex/control/ExpansionTankSizeCalculator that will tell you the size tank required based on your boiler size. If you enter baseboard as the heat type it will probably assume steam, and point your towards a higher temperature rated unit. You can either just go with the unit it points you too, or, use the size of that unit to find another brand/style that fits your needs.
