Product Highlights
Description
Note: Intended for Hydronic (hot water type) baseboard heaters. Use caution when using with electric baseboard heaters as they operate at higher surface temperatures.
When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons.
The Panel Height of this baseboard is 6-3/4" and the Endcap Height is 7-1/2". For more info. please check out the Scale Template PDF in the Resources section.
Warranty: Warranty covers against the development of any rust. Original purchaser only.
Features:
- Made of 24 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.
- Safer around children than traditional baseboard covers... The dangers associated with hot finned tube heating elements are well known. Our one-piece design doesn't allow for little fingers or small flammable toys to be placed inside the heater via the top gap where the heat comes out.
- 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.
- Baseboarders are made of steel and will get just as hot as the original covers.

Product Q&A
10 QuestionsQ: Are there other colors or can they be painted?
Asked by Greg 10 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThey are only offered in white, but can be painted. According to the manufacturer, "The standard semi-gloss white powder coated surface can be painted over. We recommend a spray bomb application with a latex or enamel based paint in the color of your choice."
Q: Does this product come with the mounting brackets?
Asked by Nick.T 10 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNo this product is set up for retrofit applications so no mounting brackets are supplied with it. They can be purchased separately, sku WB001, and for this length baseboard you would need 3 brackets.
Q: will this work with electric baseboard heater thats 2 3/4" from the floor, I need a cover only
Asked by keep my cool 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThe Baseboarders are designed for hot water baseboard units only and they should not be installed over electric baseboard heating elements.
Q: What do you suggest using for a 7ft wall to wall replacement
Asked by LH 11 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThere isn't a 7 foot length of basic baseboard. You may use two smaller sections of basic baseboard cover and join them with the connecting coupler part CP004. For example you could joint a 3 ft section BC001-36 with a 4 foot section BC001-48 to reach 7 feet in total.
Q: Are there inside corner caps available?
Asked by Paula 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffOnly 90° inside corners (part IC004) are currently available for Basic Baseboarders. 90° outside corners (which it sounds like you are looking for), as well as 135° inside and outside corners are only available for Premium Baseboarders.
Q: Can I cut this product shorter? If so, what is the best method
Asked by Pete 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffIt can be cut, using metal shears. We would suggest using and endcap or coupler as well, as the cut end may not look as nice.
We have posted a video solution to this question about cutting the panels. It applies to both Basic and Premium Baseboarders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E1hIoYVgro
Q: Can these covers also be used for electric heaters?
Asked by Mark 12 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffNo, The Baseboarders covers should only be used with hydronic water heating systems. Electric heaters can get too hot and cause damage or safety risks.
Q: Does this product come with end caps?
Asked by Richard 13 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffEndcaps must be purchased separately.
Q: Can this product be used INSTEAD of the old louvered covers? I have saved the copper tubing with aluminum fins, but discarded the metal covers. If not, do they make a replacement housing that can be used alone?
Asked by cdainis 13 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYes, you could. You would need WB001 brackets if you do not have the backplates. Make sure to refer to the retrofitting guide to make sure they fit. The guide can be found here on our website : http://www.baseboardheatercovers.com/retrofitting-guide-hot-water-baseboard-heaters/
As a further clarification on the answer provided by PexSupply customer support, the retrofitting guide would NOT apply if the original back plates have already been removed. By installing Baseboarders using the WB001 wall brackets would mean you can determine the height of the covers. The bottom of the finned tube element should be located no less than 1" above the finished floor.
Q: Does it come in longer lengths ? My existing baseboards heaters are 5 feet
Asked by Heather 13 years ago

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThese covers come in 3, 4, 5 and 6 foot lengths.
