Q: I will be installing 2 X 7 foot lengths of baseboard heater, can I join them together and if so what do I need to order besides the Heaters.....joints?

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffYou can join up to 7 baseboards in series, or up to a combined total of 30,000 BTU's. You can use a 1/2" threaded nipple to connect the two baseboards together.
Q: I am a senior citizen with a small old house. Can this type of Baseboard Radiator be used to replace the cast iron radiators seen in many older homes? I have two of the 'cast iron oldies' in my living room and one in my dining room. They take up a lot of room and are hard to clean.
Asked by Rio Rita 12 years ago

We replaced several of the old radiators in our house with the Runtal flat units. They are great. You just need to match up the BTU output of the new radiators with the output of the old ones to get the same amount of heat. Several estimators are available online to compute how much heat your "oldies" give off based on number of tubes, water temperature and length. Runtal also makes excellent flat panels as well as baseboards. We have 6" baseboards in the bathrooms. We removed the wide old radiators in some of the rooms and placed the wall mounted larger panels in their place . They only extend about 2" off of the wall and actually are quite modern and attractive. You will get much more heat off of a larger panel vs a long run of 6" baseboard. Hope the helps.

Hi, My husband is a general contractor and he said that yes, these can be used to replace your old bulky cast iron radiators. We have cast iron radiators in the older part of our home (built in 1932), but we chose this product when we built an addition on our home. My husband says you just need to make you purchase the correct size, meaning that the supply and return lines must be in the same location or very close proximity to that of the existing cast iron radiators.. A plumber should be able to confirm the exact size you would need. Hope this helps! Lindsey
Assuming you have hot water heat then yes. These will not work on steam I don't think. Also, they do not have the mass of cast iron. They are heavy gauge steel. That means two things. One, they are somewhat more susceptible to water quality and O2 causing rust and Two, they will not retain the heat as long which may cause your boiler to cycle more often. I would ask your heating contractor about it since you may need more of this stuff then you think. There are also cheaper alternatives that may work just as well or better. Not that this is a bad product. I like it but I found you sometimes need more of it than you think to keep the temperature up.
Q: are connections for this unit made on the side (ends) or from the bottom (floor)?
Asked by willy 12 years ago
Add your answer
The connection is made on the side, at the bottom of the radiator so make sure when you order, that you order the end caps as well. These will give you a finished look that covers the supply and return lines that you can have either come from the wall or through the floor. You can also order inside and outside turns to cover the connections when putting more than one together. The top holes on the ends are for =returning the units on themselves when you can only provide a return and supply from one end of the unit. If you are running in series, you will need to order the plugs for the top holes. Patrick W. McGrath Senior Property Manager PATRICKS Residential Property Management
I have a number of these in my house. They are plumbed both ways. You can come up from the floor or the sides and also mix and match. I have a series of three in a bay window. They come up from the floor plumb side to side in the middle and then back out the bottom on the other end. Sent from my iPad
the connections on the 2 I have go down to the floor. which was an issue in my house b/c I have some kind of fire-stopping (brick?) inside the wall behind the baseboard. So the unit sits higher on the wall than I would have liked. But they're still great looking, silent, and efficient.
Yes, the unit can be connected both ways. In fact, each radiator may be piped eight different ways. See http://www.runtalnorthamerica.com/residential_radiators/baseboard_uf.html
Q: We are in a building that provides steam for its radiators. Ours were removed when we moved in and our heat is via our blower A/C system. We want to install a few radiators now that are attractive. Will this product work on a commercial building's steam generator supply?

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffRuntal UF-Series baseboards are only designed for use with hot water, not with steam).
My experience is will only one radiator on a hot water system. I used the chart from Runtl to determine the size of radiator, added 50% and still not warm enough. To be fair, the room has a large window, large relative to the size of the very small 3ft X 12 ft bathroom. My advice is to call Runtl about steam systems.
I have one of these units mixed in with my homes' hot water radiators and it works quite well. I'm not sure about using these on a steam system so check the specs on the Pex site and be sure these are rated for steam and also check into the pressure of a commercial steam system as it may be higher than residential. If all that is good you should be quite happy. These are well built and very attractive units. I especially love the low profile. Sent from my iPhone
Walter, I'm sorry, I really don't have any experience with commercial installation. I'm not sure what you mean by "steam generator supply" this radiator is designed for a hot water system. There needs to be a fuel system, a boiler and a circulating pump in addition to a working thermostat to communicate with the boiler to turn on as well as the circulating pump to begin to circulate the water. You mention about installing an attractive solution. I can tell you that these radiators are beautiful. Very clean lines and as far as the radiant heat. Pff second to none. I have cast iron radiators in addition to this one and these work just as well if not better. Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Q: Does the Runtal get too hot to touch? I'm putting it on a wall perpendicular to a vanity, and wonder whether bumping into it will cause a burn. Thanks!
Asked by Batch 12 years ago
Add your answer
no should be fine
My experience with Runtl: gets very warm like any radiator but not so hot as to burn, in my opinion. Also, be aware. I bought a smaller version for a bathroom 3 1/2 feet by about 12 feet, choose a size 50% larger than the calculations on the Runtl website and the room is never warm. Not cold but cool. I would have bought one much larger, probably at least twice the size.
No it only gets warm. I use it in my kids bathroom
No it is not hard to touch
I wish mine got too hot and not just warm -- at its peak the "in" side will only get to 120ish

Q: how many sq. ft will this unit (6" x 24") heat?
Asked by jim 13 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThis unit will provide 1,200 BTUs of heat at 180°F fluid temperatures. The square footage that this number of BTUs would be able to cover depends on the heat loss of the room.
These things crank out heat but aren't very radiate (ie they lose their heat quickly). I guess is that it will heat a small space like a entry way or small bathroom. I don't think it would do a great job on a 10x12 (120 sg ft) ft room. I'm using 6'' x 72" ones for my 120 sq foot rooms. I'm not a plumber so I couldn't tell you in actuality tho.
