7\" tall cast iron baseboard ratings
you did`nt say who the manufacturer was, but it may be buried from carpet or whatever, if you took 3.26 per L.ft you should be really close.<BR><BR>Dave

7\"tall cast iron baseboard
I'll be damned I have Dan's E.D.R book but I can't seem to find cast iron baseboard ratings in it. Go figure! Can anyone tell me what to expect from 7" tall and 9" tall baseboard? The best I can find is Weil McLain @ 9 3/4" or Burnham @ 9 7/8" tall.0 -
Uh, Dave?
If you have carpet deep enough to take two inches off a 9-inch CI baseboard, I am going to have to do an intervention here.
Deep pile shag again? And that disco ball? Has to go."If you do not know the answer, say, "I do not know the answer", and you will be correct!"

Brad,
again, the one liner, I have seen many carpet and underlay(smooth-edge), that hinders measurements.
Even saw one yesterday where the guy actually cut the 7/8" hardwood floor around the rads feet, made a nightmare for a TRV install.

no no deep pile carpet I had two rooms with the 7" baseboard one was carpeted and one was a hardwood floor0 -
Again Vinster,
got a manufacturer?

Unfortunately I didn't even look as I was almost sure I would find them in one of my books.0 -
I guess I'll just have to go back and look. Has anyone seen cast baseboard in Dan's E.D.R book0 -
All in all
I would take the baseboard at 7/9ths (or more exact fractional height) of a known baseboard. Burnham Baseray is 3.4 SF per LF so if 9.875 inches high, if exactly 7 inches, 0.708 times 3.4 would be 2.41 SF per LF.
Absent better information, that is what I would use. I mean, they both have an inlet, a depth and an outlet. What is left is finned height."If you do not know the answer, say, "I do not know the answer", and you will be correct!"

There comes a time, Dave
when re-flooring a place, that you simply have to remove the old flooring...
Has anyone seen the cat lately?"If you do not know the answer, say, "I do not know the answer", and you will be correct!"
