It is not. It is a screw in adapter. Download the installation instructions and read them. www.runtal.com
The connection is a threaded nipple
1/2" IPS threaded
no, they are 1/2" NPT female.
No it is threaded the radiator is steel
1/2" threaded joint.
The price includes just the 3.5 ft section that is noted and pictured. All the Runtal baseboard sections are sold as just the length of baseboard with the cover and element together. The end caps and other accessories must be purchased separately.
Yes, but keep in mind that condensing boilers can only approach full efficiency when return water temperatures are low (typically below 140°F). The listed 4,200 BTU output for these baseboards assumes 180°F fluid temperatures.
The radiators accept 1/2" male NPT fittings. You can use part 450PXM03 if you're looking for a PEX compression fitting.
I have never connected them But call Martin Bolger at runtal in Massachusetts And he will help you He is very good
Runtal radiators require 1/2" NPT male adapters.
It sure can. Sent from my iPhone
Yes, And if the temp is a little lower the BTU/ft will also be alittle lower. I believe the BTU/ft ratings start at 160 degrees
No, water needs to circulate through the unit Sent from my iPhone

The answer really depends on how much total piping, fittings and heat exchangers are connected in series and what the circulator head/volume capabilities are. Typically, slant fin radiation can deliver more output because it's designed to run at a higher temperature than runtal products, so you may be derating the output of the heating system. I have a mixture of Runtal radiators and some old slant fin in my home, you have to be careful about loop temperature as the old baseboard is rated for 160-180F but there's built-in personnel protection. Not so with a runtal radiator, you need to control the loop temperature. I run my radiant panels at 140F, the circulator might run a little longer than typical baseboard, but the rooms eventually reach setpoint. More information is needed about the piping loop, pump type, peak heating load from the spaces etc.
Assuming the slant fin radiators have 3/4" piping or its equivalent throughout their innards then putting in a 1/2" unit would effectively restrict the flow, although you would need more information to try to assess the impact to the heating system... It may be possible to run this as a series parallel loop (versus a series circuit), although you may not be able to achieve the full heating capacity for the 1/2" unit. Good luck with your project!
I have this product mixed into a loop with slant fin and it does not restrict the flow or impair performance in my opinion. I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend it.
Yes, you can order Runtal baseboards in any of their twelve standard colors displayed at the link below. http://www.runtalnorthamerica.com/colors.html
Yes, multiple colors are available; go to http://www.runtalnorthamerica.com/colors.html You can paint without a problem; use a good quality paint that will adhere to the high gloss enamel Runtal provides on their products.
The Runtal's are available in a large selection of colors, but white is usually available immediately from Runtal whereas other colors are considered special order and will require additional lead time and possibly cost. I have purchased several of the white units from pexsupply.com and been very happy with them. I'm not sure if painting them would cause any thermal problems, but Runtal does such a nice job applying the paint, I would get color you want from them if you can. --Jeff
Yes, colors are available. Check the runtal website. Mike
Hi Joel, I am not aware of other colors, but I can't see where it would adversely affect the performance if you would like to spray paint the front and sides of the radiator. Rich
You can paint them without loss of performance. Make sure to clean them properly first. Use a paint that will withstand 180 degrees.
Yes you can use with a monoflo system.
Hi - I do not know. You might want to check with Runtal Mike
Runtal baseboards have roughly the same heat output as Slant/Fin baseboards, all other conditions being equal. Both emit approximately 600 BTUs per foot at standard water temperatures and flow rates. The 6,000 BTU number for the UF-2-120 model is for the entire ten-foot run.
