Easy to work with - if you can get them in one piece!

The baseboards of all lengths are fairly easy to work with, although having them arrive assembled is no advantage since they have to be disassembled to install. The primary problem seems to be getting them without the heater core being smashed up against the brackets inside the unit in shipping. Straightening the fins on each bracket on each core is time consuming and could be avoided with a big more secure packaging. They solder to gether easily, and operate smoothly as long as the wall they are attached to is straight, or as long as you compensate for irregularities when installing. The only design problem seems to be that the brackets that hold both the heater core and adjustable vent are bendable, and getting them spread to just the right distance to hold the face plate, which is just sprung into place and held by tension, can be a bit challenging. The cover plates, joint covers, corner corners, etc. all fit nicely and install without a hassle, and they look great as a finished product.

Sharp and Easy to install

I needed to remodel my kitchen so I decided to go with these upgrades. I would of probably gave this product a five-star but further more it had its issues. Other than I score supplyhouse much in deed a five star for the fast service and availability. At first I was going to order half the items at my local homedepot but I decided to save time and spend more money for a couple of items that homedepot had at a lower cost. Everything was delivered to my door with no delays. Some fins did off course had ding and bends which it made it hard to straighten with even the most thin mechanics gloves. Got a couple of cuts on my fingers here and there but again I managed. Is your discretion to what you wanna order, I took the chance and that's what I received. I did read they come in all defected ways but I took it upon myself thinking I would be lucky.

The packaging is poor.

The packaging of these units (on slant fins part) is not sufficient for them to be shipped and thrown around by UPS. All the units I ordered had damaged fins where they were able to move within the box. Supplyhouse used a ton of bubble packing around the cardboard containers but if the inner container isnt sufficently padded, the outer packaging wont do anything.

Arrived damaged

The fins on the heating element were munched in 3 places and there was a slight dent in the cover. The box looked fine. Returning it would have delayed my project too much. It'll work fine but it's disappointing.

Would look for an alternative if I started over

I bought 9 sections of fineline baseboard in various lengths, every one had some sort of damage. The boxes and packaging from Supply House looked good, I think the flaw was with Slant/Fin. The elements are not secured in the cases for shipping, so there are bent fins from rattling around. Multiple housings had minor dents, scratches, and bends. None of the damage is so bad that I'm returning it, but I expect better from any decent manufacturer. Purchasing and delivery from Supply House were great, arrived in 48 hours.

Yes

The baseboard works great and looks great. Clean modern look. The shipping of this product from the Supply House was the issue. They got it right the 4th time. Very poorly packed. Very significant damage. The 4th shipment I finally got something I could use after it was properly package for shipment. Supply House does great with all their products. This is the first one I've had trouble with. But they made it good.

Very poor manufacturer packaging- doesnt protect radiators

Ordered 6 of the 5' slantfin radiators. Slantfin PD has no idea how to protect the product for shipping- esp UPS/Fedex handling. The metal brackets to support the tubes actually destroy the fins and metal covers during shipping. All 6 had signs of damage- bent coverplates, interior support braces bent out of the frames, dented metal/paint from rubbing/shipping. I had one sent to replace the totally destroyed one and was told by contractor it would take 1 hour extra to fix all the bent fins/panels(it took 2 hours). Now I have to have him send me an extra invoice to break out the extra labor if I want reimbursment. Copper tube was very thin as well, so bent that back into place to solder. What a pain and distraction from the job getting done fast. Buy the radiators local is my recommendation. Oh- and you dont need to buy the splice plate for between straight radiator runs, one comes in each box with the radiator(albeit scratched up and bent so I needed the extra I ordered)

ASK A QUESTION

Q: Other than obvious trim differences, what are the quality and functional differences between 30A Fine/Line Baseboard and Baseline 2000 Baseboard. And when you say the pipe is M-type copper, does that mean it's heavier that the flimsy stuff I currently have which cannot even be cut with a regular tubing cutter (I'm not sure of the brand)

Asked by Richard the Querulous 12 years ago

There is no difference in between the two type of baseboard mentioned other than appearance and price. Both install and work the same. M type copper is not the heaviest, remember when dealing with any type of metal the lower the letter or number the heavier.

The latter-it's not white. A quick touch-up with some spray paint works fine.

The white on the nu-white slat-fin is just a shade on the beige side as compared to the plastic covers used on wall electric receptacles.  sorry best answer I could give you.  All in all I thrilled with the finished look.

I would say it's white. I have installed this product/color and it matches my white vanity and baseboard nicely.

Definitely a 5' baseboard. You can cut it to size.

Q: One of the main reasons I chose pex for my heat distribution was the easy of making connections. No soldering, just easy crimp and threaded connections. Are these or any of the baseboard heaters you sell pex ready with either crimp connections or NPT fittings?

Slant/Fin baseboard heaters are only currently available with copper elements that do not have threaded connections. Although it would be possible to use SharkBite fittings to connect PEX to one end of a baseboard (the side with a smaller, "street" connection), you may want to look at Runtal-brand baseboards. These have 1/2" female NPT connections, which would enable you to connect to PEX without first needing to solder any adapters.

"Shark-fin" connectors will work on the baseboard stubs: just push on the appropriately sized coupling & then push-in the appropriately sized pex tubing. The pex tubing must be of the oxygen-barrier type.

Q: Is it possible to invert these units and mount them on the ceiling? I have a slab floor and don't want to tear up my walls. I understand this will have a negative effect on heat distribution, but I assume these can also work as chillers in the summer.

Asked by bob 14 years ago

If these are hot water heater you can put them up side down, they are just copper tubes with fins on them. If you are running the pipes through the ceiling you would have to worry about freezing. If your furnace will let you run the pump only for the summer you can use it for cooling. I just ran the pipe through the wall by drilling a hole and taking the fins off at that point or order the right length. Most all places that sell these things will answer any questions. I am a 64 yr old women and I did it myself, with a little help from my sister and company that I bought them from.

This isn't a good idea Yes they will work on the ceiling with very poor heat distribution, and if you going to pump ice water through them for your chiller(????).....I don't think so It's back to the drawing board Sent via airmail!

The heaters would not convect like they are designed to do mounting them on the ceiling. I would think the floor area will remain cold. Using cool water in them in the summer would create a great deal of condensation on the fins if there is any humidity in the air.

Q: I plan to replace several baseboard units that have 1/2" copper elements. Is the 30A Fine Line series available with 1/2" element? I could use couplings to change the pipes to 3/4 but would prefer to avoid the extra soldering.

The Fine/Line 30 Series is only available with a 3/4" element, but Fine/Line 15 and Base/Line 2000 models can be custom-ordered with a 1/2" element.

While the covers do help create convection currents in the room, they are not necessary for heating. They are more important when it comes to the look and protecting small children from touching the hot element.

Q: I purchased fine/line 30A baseboards and wish to connect to PEX using H110750 copper pipe brass elbows. They only fit on one side of the baseboard and are not wide enough to fit the right side of the baseboard. What product can be used to join the PEX to the copper on the right side of the baseboard since it is gets wider on the right side?

Asked by 14 years ago

Add your answer

Verified Author and ReplyVerified Reply- PexSupply Staff

One side of a baseboard element is designed to fit over the other (so that you can connect units together). This means one side is sized as a copper fitting. Part H060750 would work on this side, but we do not have a copper x PEX elbow that would work.

You can cut a baseboard with a chop saw, but you can also combine a 2-foot unit with end caps. We offer custom cutting of the Baseboarders DIY covers we sell, but these do not include an element.

It is possible to cut a baseboard with a chop saw, but it is also plausible to combine a 2-foot unit with end caps long enough to take up 2.5 ft. Either method would work, but the second has less chance for a destructive error.
