Cast iron baseboard kitchen removal

Connie1991

Hi!

I am planning on renovating my kitchen but there is a cast iron baseboard on the wall that I would like to place my oven and fridge against.

Any advice on how to completely remove a cast iron baseboard from one wall and making sure it is inactive?

Not really enough information to answer. Caping off a radiator is typically not difficult. But depends on how your heating system is formatted. And of course the big question is, are you willing to forego having heat in the kitchen?

Oe might assume that you have hot water heat -- but it could be steam. So... the first thing to do is to determine whether it is hot water or steam.

Then, if it is hot water, find out whether that bit of baseboard is in series with other baseboards or parts of the system. That will determine what pipes need to be disconnected and capped, or bypassed with new pipes, and where those changes might be made.

Find out the answers to what @Jamie Hall wrote and if your system is hot water consider the feasible of using a Beacon Morris Kickspace heater to supply the heat.
