    Are you volunteering for the FORM checker position? That would be the paper forms right? I'm thinking you would put your desk as far away as possible and there would lots of corrections and explanations needed during the testing.

    Now why would I have a hunch like that...? Go figure.

    Your points are well made

    My comments were a reflection of the HO/installers observations and comments to me. A couple of comments in response to your gracious reply are in order however. Any work that takes place on top of the subfloor is inherently safer.

    Air stapling transfer plates to the underside of a floor system is much quicker than pop riveting ultrafin halves together, having done both.

    Though many miles of high temperature baseboards are already in place and many more will likely continue to be installed, nevertheless we professionals in this forum should alway aspire to excellence personally and promote optimal solutions for others. To capitulate to the status quo is to do a serious disservice to our audience. Deliberately designing high temperature heating systems in the face of the present economic reality is unconscionable, IMO. Of course they work, but at what price?

    We offer weather responsive controls both for low mass as well as RFH not because the market needs more "stuff" but because they work. Granted, an automatic motorized mixing valve strategy is not the only means of achieving accuate temperature regulation, and certainly it is not the least expensive, but it is positively the most accurate and in the longer term the most cost to benefit positive approach.

    Ultra Fin purport to be an equal amongst RFH alternates. They do not equate themselves with fin tube heating delivery systems. In positioning themselves as a superior RFH approach they clearly err. IMO.
