Burnham baseboard feed and supply on the same side

Good morning, new to this site and had a question I was hoping some folks with more experience may be able to help me with. I am renovating my kitchen and have a burnham baseboard (24” wide) radiator that is part of loop. Currently the supply and return are at opposite ends and the pipes are run through a built out wall. I am removing the build out to claim back about 2 foot of needed space but then I am up against a solid stone wall. I would like to bump the radiator against the remaining build out and have both the supply and return on one side. To accomplish this, I am looking to use a Danfoss RA 15/6TB lance valve:

has anyone had experience with doing this or see any issues with the approach? I am by no means a heating specialist and want to make sure I have something that works when I am done.

Thanks all!

That valve is designed for a standing cast iron radiator. It may work, but couldn’t you just as easily run one of the lines under the baseboard or go down through the floor?Bob Boan
You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.0 -
Is it this baseboard? You can feed and return from either end by piping it together.

Thanks Ironman, unfortunately it is a brick floor on concrete slab with no space below. When you say under the baseboard, do you mean under the Burnham Baseboard or the wood trim?Thanks0

Hey hot_rod, yes, it is that baseboard. I see the section you put in with 2 stacked sections having the feed and return on 1 side, does that work for a single section? Thank you.0
