fine points using enclosure only...
Use Slant/Fin hanger to
support the bare tubing at
the same height as adjoin-
ing heating elements. In-
sert the short hook of the
hanger as shown. Install
from the left side, so that
the large hook (which
holds the tubing) faces the
rear panel.
when a normal loop
can’t be run...
In some installations, it’s not possible to drop the return line below the floor. In
this case, run the return tubing within the baseboard enclosure. Support with
wire hanger which you can shorten to hold the tubing in the space between the
heating element and bracket arm. For Base/Line 2000, a special cutout in the
bracket arm accommodates return tubing. Use a Slant/Fin return bend to con-
nect the heating element with the return line above it. This fitting has a conven-

IPS threaded opening to receive an air vent.
Note: If the baseboard is
installed below the boiler
level, as in many slab
jobs, the return bend may
be installed with the vent
opening pointed down-
ward, and plugged. This
permits easy drainage if
needed.
replacing old
standing radiators...
A handy illustrated guide from Slant/Fin helps
you figure how many feet of baseboard it takes to
equal the heat output of most styles of standing
cast-iron radiators. Ask for publication RC-40.
