Argo Panel Trim II – 6-Foot Hydronic Baseboard Element with Aluminum Fins
The Argo 55PT2-E75-6 is a 6-foot finned-tube heating element designed for use within the Panel Trim II hydronic baseboard enclosure system. Engineered for high-output performance, this element combines a 3/4-inch O.D. copper tube with aluminum fins mechanically bonded for maximum heat transfer efficiency in residential or light commercial applications.
Product Application
This heating element is optimized for baseboard radiation installations where space is limited, and rapid heat distribution is required. It is suitable for both new installations and system upgrades using Panel Trim II enclosures. The expanded tube end eliminates the need for couplings on one side, streamlining field connections and reducing labor time.
Performance Features
Corrugated Aluminum Fin Design: Provides greater surface area and improved convection characteristics for faster room heat-up.
3/4" Copper Tube: Manufactured to domestic standards, ensuring pressure resistance and corrosion durability.
Factory-Expanded End: Allows for direct connection to adjacent elements or system piping without additional fittings.
Mechanical Bonding: Ensures consistent thermal contact between fin and tube, maximizing BTU output.
