in THE MAIN WALL
Where can I purchase just the fins without them being on the pipe?
I have system which I want to add fins to increase heat distribution in several rooms
Are they available?
Is it now more expensive to purchase just the fins than the pipe and the fins?
Anyway hope you can help.

    Fins

    Fins need to be pressed on tight to enable the heat transfer from the pipe to the fin. These really need to done in a factory with the proper equipment. Not sure how you would be able to press them on out in the field so that the heat transfer would be ok?

    This a Joke?

    Hey, I got a bucket load of them in the back yard waiting to be recycled. You want to try putting them back on? I do'nt think so. Like the other post says it's a factory job. If you need more heat, try adding supplimental units.

    I think you might want to buy the tube with the fins allready on the tubing be it commercial or residential fin tube. Fin tube is "cheap heat." More of a heat convector than a radiator.
