Baseboard radiators with built in ruturns
I am looking for brands of baseboard radiators that have return lines built into them. I have two rooms in my house that are on a slab and would like to eliminate the line that runs underneath the slab that connects the two rooms. I have seen radiant baseboards that have the two lines built into them already,are they rated to handle 180 degree boiler water?I have learned a great deal reading The Wall over the past couple of years but have never seen this topic discussed.0 -

I have this stuff. Its from Slant Fin. I run 180 water in it and it ticks and pops a lot but thats what they call charm in these parts. Its basically just regular finn tube in a bigger housing.0 -
Chas, what style slant-fin is it?0 -
Sterling Petite-7
I have Sterling Petite-7 baseboard, which I did exactly what you want. They don't have "built in" return, but are set up to use optional wire hangers to support a 3/4 pipe above the fin tube. A standard return elbow connects the end of the fin tube & the 3/4 return pipe.

Dunno.. It looks like Baseline.. Its cheap and nasty. The return runs underneath the fintube.0 -
any sterling or argo brands
offer a return pipe hanger that can carry tubing back over the finned element. Dont think you can do it underneath.0 -
slant fin
has room to lay the return pipe right on top of the element. An elbow and a street ell and back you go0 -
Thanks for all the good info ( I knew I came to the right place)I'm checking out the Sterling site now.0
