I just got a really heavy entertainment center cabinet, I live in a condo that was build in 1978 and I have radiator baseboard heaters.
I can feel the floor is warm where the pipes run through under the floor , Should I avoid to put the heavy cabinet where the floor is warm? My concern is that is it possible that the cabinet can crash the pipes underneath?

    Is the floor concrete? Do you see any deflection when you placed the entertainment center?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

    I don’t see any deflection because I have granite tiles floor ,and I’m not sure if the floor base is concrete.

    If the tiles don't crack, neither will the pipes.
    8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

    You could run a truck over the pipes and not crush them!
