3/4" x 8' Aluminum Fins with Slide Cradles for Panel-Trim Baseboard

Argo Panel-Trim II High-Efficiency Heating Element – 8-Foot Assembly (Model 55PT2-E75-8)

The Argo Panel-Trim II 8-foot heating element is engineered for use in hydronic baseboard applications requiring high output and consistent thermal performance. Designed specifically for compatibility with the Panel-Trim II enclosure system, this fin-tube assembly incorporates precision-formed aluminum fins bonded to a 3/4" copper tube for maximum heat transfer and durability.

Product Overview

This element features a high-efficiency fin configuration with corrugated aluminum fins closely spaced to optimize convective air movement. One end of the copper tube is factory-expanded to facilitate connection without an external coupling. The assembly is suitable for perimeter hot water heating systems in both commercial and residential installations where wall space is limited and heat loss is elevated.

Key Technical Features

• Length: 8 feet (nominal)
• Tubing: 3/4 inch nominal copper tube (Type L, domestic)
• Fin Material: High-conductivity aluminum, mechanically bonded
• Fin Design: Corrugated for increased surface area and improved air movement
• End Treatment: One end expanded to accept standard 3/4" copper tubing
• System Compatibility: Designed for use with Argo Panel-Trim II baseboard enclosure systems

Application Notes

• Designed for closed-loop hydronic systems operating within standard residential and light commercial parameters
• Element must be supported using appropriate mounting brackets to prevent sag and maintain fin alignment
• Flow rates and temperature drop should be calculated based on building heat loss and system layout

Installation Considerations

This heating element should be installed by a licensed plumbing or HVAC professional. Proper alignment within the enclosure and secure support are essential for maintaining thermal performance and system integrity. Ensure that all joints are cleaned, fluxed, and soldered according to code. Pressure test the completed run before final enclosure installation.

Use Cases

• Commercial or residential baseboard heating applications
• Projects requiring high-output elements with compact footprint
• Integration into Argo Panel-Trim II systems for streamlined installations
