in THE MAIN WALL
I have a historical remod that in addition to radiators there is 130 feet of castiron baseboard. I chose burnaham brand. I have not installed castiron baseboard. Any words of wisdom? I plan on following the install manual verbatim but some tricks and tips would be great.

    Burnham baseray

    I have installed 1000ft + of baseray. When you put the sections together make sure to clean the nipple ports on all sections and lube up the ports and nipples before pressing together. Also after pressing and bolting, pick the radiator up so it does not bow in middle. It is a good idea to pressure test the assemblies before setting and piping in place, we do see leaks between sections once in a while.

    Borrow the big squeezer tool made for the purpose of pulling the sections together.
