2' Cast Iron Hydronic Baseboard, Snug, Complete

Weil-McLain Snug Cast Iron Baseboard – 2 Ft. Hydronic Heating Section

The Weil-McLain 190100004 Snug Baseboard is a 2-foot sectional cast iron baseboard radiator designed for use in low-pressure hot water or gravity heating systems. Suitable for perimeter wall installations, this unit combines radiant and convective heat delivery in a compact form factor. Its cast iron body offers long-term thermal retention and stable performance in residential hydronic applications.

System Characteristics

• Length: 24 inches (2 feet nominal)
• Material: Cast iron
• Pressure Rating: Maximum working pressure of 50 psi
• Heat Transfer Method: Radiant and natural convective output
• Finish: Factory-primed; paintable in field as required

Performance Attributes

• High Thermal Mass: Retains heat after system shut-off, reducing short-cycling and maintaining temperature stability
• Cold Wall Offset: Designed for installation beneath windows or along exterior walls to counteract downdrafts
• Sectional Design: May be joined with compatible Snug corner pieces or extension sections for continuous perimeter runs
• Quiet Operation: No expansion clicking or fan noise
• Application Type: Gravity or pumped hot water distribution

Installation Requirements

Installation should be performed by qualified HVAC or plumbing professionals. Floor anchoring is required to support the weight of the cast iron. Ensure system flow rates and return temperatures are consistent with boiler specifications and zoning requirements. The baseboard should be leveled, pressure-tested, and painted (if needed) after installation and system startup.

Recommended Use Cases

• Residential hydronic baseboard systems using gravity or low-velocity pumping
• Supplemental perimeter heating for window walls, entry vestibules, or short zones
• Historic system renovations using cast iron components
