Product Highlights
Description
NOTE: For Hydronic Baseboards
- Made of 22 gauge perforate steel.
- Features TWO separate layers of protection against rust: an electroplated galvanized coating over the carbon steel and an epoxy-based powder coat in semi-gloss white.
- Designed to retrofit on to most existing baseboard heater covers.
- Superior Airflow... Airflow is the critical factor in proper baseboard heating. We use a perforated steel screen that visually hides the originally installed heater cover while ensuring that the heating element receives proper airflow.
- Child Safe... The dangers associated with hot finned tube heating elements are well known. Our child safe design doesn't allow for little fingers or small flammable toys to be placed inside the heater cover.
- Simple to Install... It just doesn't get any easier. Only the non-permanent components of the existing heater cover are discarded. The back cover that is mechanically fastened to the wall stays in place.

Q: I am planning on ordering, but I recently removed the back plate from my old baseboard cover and disposed of it. I saw in the installation video that you could do use wall mounts for the new baseboard cover. Is it safe or wise to not have a back plate?
Asked by Brett 12 years ago

I believe wall mounts should work fine since this item was never intended to be stood on. - Dave -
The old back plate makes for an easy installation. However, you threw it away? I think Supply House has some brackets you can buy, however, I use some 1x2 for a back support and that worked well too. Cheers, Mark
Hello Bratt, sorry, I'm not a home heating expert so I can't answer your question about safety..but I think using some kind of solid wall mount could be your solution. I have installed the new baseboard cover on top of old back plate. regards, BMO
If the original back plate has been removed, Baseboarders can be safely and properly mounted to the wall using Baseboarders wall brackets. The part number is WB001. Wall brackets are readily available from SupplyHouse.com. WB001 wall brackets will mount both Premium and Basic product lines. Use a minimum of two wall brackets per panel. Mount only at stud locations.
Q: I have to replace old covers my baseboards are 13 ft 3 in and 10 ft 6 in do I custom order or splice two units together?

You’ll need to splice pieces together. Sent from Windows Mail
These covers are great. I just spliced two units together for the long ones I needed and they look fine. I hope this helps. Sent from my iPad
I spliced two units together for my wall. There is a slightly visible covered seam, but it is not that noticeable. You have to decide if the seam would bother you. If you're going to have furniture in front, then splice. If it is going to be a long wall with an uninstructed view, then just evaluate your comfort level. Sent from my iPhone
You would need a 6' & 7' piece and join them with a coupler. Very easy, I did it for my whole house. Sent from my iPhone.
they make different sizes so you have to piece together, you can also cut but you need a good set of tin snips, they don't cut easy but they do cut
I would order 2- 7 foot pieces and cut them with a hacksaw. The coupler for the 2 pieces will give you about a half inch to cover any paint that might chip. Dana R Berger
SINGLE PIECE WOOD LOOK THE BEST, BUT SHIPPING PIECES THAT LONG WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO KEEP STRAIGHT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE CONNECTORS OR NOT. THE HEATER COVERS FIT OVER THE BACKING PLATE THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE WALL. THE END COVERS ARE SOLID AND WOULD HAVE TO BE MODIFIED IF USED TO CONNECT 2 PIECES. THE COVERS ARE IN MY BATHROOMS AND HAVE WORKED OUT VERY WELL. HOPE THIS HELPS. Walt
Q: Are there clips or attachment accessories that come with the product or are recommended for fixing to the wall? Is there any problem with cutting the product to custom fit?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffBaseboarders covers can be attached to the backplates of existing baseboards. In new construction projects or installations in which backplate installation is not possible, wall brackets (part WB001) can be purchased separately.
You don't need any special attachments to mount it to the wall. Normal wood screws into studs will be fine. It is also able to slide in place over an existing baseboard (which is what I did) will no screws needed. The metal is stronger than I expected but I think a standard metal cutting circular blade would work best. I don't think tin snips will work.
No special clips come with it. It fits over the existing back (I was replacing a 30 year old cover). You might have to loosen the old cover ((if you have one) BTW the new cover looks great! and is a cinch to install!
It has been some time since I installed the baseboard covers but if memory serves me, the cover is secured by a portion of the cover sliding behind the existing baseboard and then further secured by the end caps. It was not a complicated installation. I am extremely pleased by the outcome. The price may seem a bit high for the covers but the alternative of removing the section of baseboard and replacing it would be far more work and likely require a plumber.
There are no clips needed, as the product hangs on to the existing support of the old baseboard heating supply. We had it custom cut by the pex company, but the end caps cover the cut area. We really LOVE this product it never rusts, and easy to keep clean...worth every penny!
Q: HOW DO I MEASURE TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE THE SIZE ON THE PDF SHOWS 7 1/2 ON BOTH THE 6 AND 7 ITS 7" FROM THE CARPET TO THE TOP
Asked by GREG 13 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffBaseboarders replacement covers always have the same height regardless of the length. If the height of the current covers is less than 7-1/2", you would need to remove the backplates and install the Baseboarders covers with wall brackets (part WB001).
THE COVER MEASURES 7 INCHES. THE BACKING PLATE ON YOUR OLD COVER WILL PROBABLY BE 7.5 ABOVE THE FLOOR. THE END COVER PLATES WILL BE 7.5 IF THE TOP OF YOUR PRESENT IS LESS, THEN YOU MAY HAVE TO RAISE IT OR ORDER CUSTOM END CAPS Walt
