    I don't know the mfg but all baseboard is pretty much the same around 550 btu/foot at 170 avg water temp 180 in 160 out.

    Your baseboard looks short. I would use the 550/ft @170° number. You can find some baseboards that are as tall as 9" that may have a 650/ft @170°, but most of the 7" and shorter baseboards will be in the 500 to 550 range.

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    yes 550 was what I was thinking. I was hoping to come up with a brand and an actual chart to get as precise as possible because the Client wants to go ATWHP.
