I am looking for a fin tube convector element (8"x60") that is piped straight through... The Supply comes in horizontally and exits the element the same way on the other side
See crude diagram below:
--------Supply-->----|||||||||convector||||||||||-------->Return
All the ones I've come across either have a top or bottom connection on the supply end and a bottom connection on return end.
I could repipe it to make it work with one of the convectors i've found, but I'm trying to save my client some money.
Thanks alot guys!
Mike

I think that you would
spend more money trying to find or modify a normal convector. I have never seen an in-line version aside from baseboard. The traditional top/bottom model was universal for steam and hot water so cannot imagine a straight version.
I suppose you could always ask Rittling, Ted Reed Thermal or Airtherm to make a special for you, but the cost might be more than the fittings you would use to achieve your goal."If you do not know the answer, say, "I do not know the answer", and you will be correct!"

Try
Beacon-Morris. They sell a straight-thru 1-1/4" black steel single-tube convector or commercial-fintube element. Here's a shot of one we installed, with the cover off.All Steamed Up, Inc.
