3' Cast Iron Hydronic Baseboard, Snug, Complete

Weil-McLain Snug Cast Iron Baseboard – 3 Ft. Hydronic Radiator Section

The Weil-McLain 190100008 Snug Baseboard is a 3-foot cast iron hydronic radiator designed for use in residential hot water heating systems. Built to deliver consistent radiant and convective heat output, it is suitable for gravity-fed or pumped closed-loop systems. The unit provides both thermal mass and directional airflow control for perimeter installations along cold exterior walls and beneath window openings.

Product Construction & Design

• Length: 36 inches (3 feet nominal)
• Material: Cast iron
• Finish: Factory-primed; ready for field paint to match interior finishes
• Connection Type: Compatible with 1" and 3/4" standard system piping
• Working Pressure: Rated to 50 psi (maximum)
• Mounting: Floor-mounted along wall perimeter using support brackets (not included)

Performance Characteristics

• Radiant & Convective Heat: Delivers quiet, even heat through a combination of radiant surface emission and natural convection
• Thermal Retention: Cast iron mass retains heat after boiler shutoff, contributing to temperature stability
• Cold Wall Neutralization: Installed at floor level on exterior walls to reduce drafts and surface heat loss
• Modular Configuration: Can be connected with corner or extension sections for longer perimeter coverage

Installation Guidelines

This section is intended for use by licensed mechanical professionals. Installation requires solid floor anchoring and precise alignment with existing or new system piping. System balancing, flow rate control, and return water temperatures must be considered to ensure uniform heat distribution and compatibility with system design. Always follow local mechanical code requirements and manufacturer recommendations.

Recommended Applications

• Single-family homes with perimeter baseboard systems
• Gravity or low-velocity pumped hydronic systems
• Retrofit and replacement in historic or cast-iron-compatible systems
• Room zones requiring short-run radiation under windows or near entry points
