in THE MAIN WALL
Hi,

I'm working with a client that has asked me to find replacement end caps for their hot water baseboard, unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a brand stamped anywhere as far as I can tell.

Here are a few pictures:










Thanks in advance!

    Slant Fin Revital/Line XL is your best bet.

    I suspect the baseboard in the photos was manufactured about fifty years ago. I highly doubt you will be able to match it or get components any more.

    Like others have suggested, you may forced to remove and replace it.

    Slant Fin discontinued making boilers, but their baseboard line was sold off to Mestek. Look into the Revital Line XL. Better, cheaper, faster.

    Slant Fin ****, they are way to NARROW when working with older Systems! I am searching for end caps that are 3 1/2" deep x 7" tall right now & can't find anything deeper than 3". Even buying all New covers & back plates won't work, UNLESS you want to do a ton of re-piping because you cannot push the heating elements back close enough to the walls because of the pipes coming up thru the floor.
