Hotwater Heat Question

in THE MAIN WALL
I was wondering if anyone knows what BTU's the different tees are rated for?

For example if I have a 1 1/2" primary loop the tees have 1/2" branches. If I transition to 3/4" to my pump and use a 3/4" loop from there how many BTU's can I count on having?

    Moving hotwater heat baseboard

    How hard or what would the costs be to move a hot water heat baseboard to another wall. I am buying a house and I want to put in a sliding door and build a deck, but the wall I want to put it on has a baseboard heater on it. I would have to move this to get the door put in. If someone knows an approximate cost to do this it would be greatly appresiated. Thanks

    Relocate

    cost to move base board all depends on if it can be accesed as far as the new location. Full basement is great, but small area can cost more especially if we have trouble getting to it. 250.00 to 550.00 BALLPARK.

    relocated BB

    I agree with Mike T, but be advised you may have to add some BB. Adding that slider will sugnificantly increase the heat loss in that room, so make sure whoever does the work checks out the proper amount of heat needed once the new door is in. If you're lucky, the original installer put in too much to begin with, but make sure. Nothing worse than a nice new door that is too cold to appreciate.

    agree with Al

    and think Mike's price is pretty low. I give you odds it will go more like a grand

    Price

    Like I said, the price is ball park. Suprises usually make the price go UP^
