WHAT IS THE LONGEST LOOP OF ELEMENT CAN YOU RUN WITH 3/4 AND 1/2 BASEBOARD?

You can run it to the moon if you have a circulator matched to it, required pressure, and pumping away. How long a loop are you running?

To keep the average water temperature

from going too low to be able to heat, I think you should keep 3/4" under 70 of element, and 1/2" under 25" of element. This would be on a continuous loop.

if you want to keep the rated btu output all the way to the end of loop typical high temp system i thought the limit was 65ft of element 3/4
