3 Ft. Baseray Cast Iron Baseboard Complete Assembly (10.2 sq ft)

Burnham Baseray 9A3C – 3-Foot Cast Iron Baseboard Complete Assembly

The Burnham Baseray 9A3C is a three-foot sectional cast iron baseboard radiator designed for use in residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems. Engineered for durability and optimal heat transfer, this unit combines a compact footprint with the proven performance of cast iron heating technology.

Product Overview

Ideal for perimeter baseboard installations, the 9A3C complete assembly includes a 1.5-foot left and a 1.5-foot right panel joined at the center. Each section features integral legs for floor-mounted support and is designed to connect easily to additional panels for larger configurations. The cast iron construction delivers steady, uniform heat with minimal thermal fluctuation and noise.

Key Performance Attributes

• Material: High-density cast iron for extended thermal mass and consistent room temperature
• Output: Provides approximately 10.2 square feet of Equivalent Direct Radiation (EDR), translating to ~612 BTU/hr at standard ratings
• System Compatibility: Fully compatible with hot water and low-pressure steam boiler systems
• Installation: Floor-mounted with factory-integrated support legs and closed-end design
• Noise-Free Operation: Solid cast iron structure eliminates pinging or expansion noise associated with fin-tube systems

Applications

• Perimeter zone heating in retrofit or new installations
• Basement and first-floor runs where radiant mass and low-profile operation are preferred
• Residential projects requiring silent performance and high thermal inertia

Technical Specifications

• Model: Burnham Baseray 9A3C
• Total Assembly Length: 3 feet
• Coverage: 10.2 sq ft EDR
• Finish: Factory-applied primer, suitable for field painting
• Weight: Approx. 90 lbs
• Connection: 1-1/4" NPT tappings

Installation Notes

Due to its weight and system integration requirements, this assembly should be installed by a qualified HVAC or plumbing technician. Ensure appropriate support and coupling for adjacent sections, proper boiler sizing, and compliance with applicable building codes. The unit is shipped in a complete configuration, requiring only connection to the supply and return lines.

Additional Considerations

• Custom Sizing: Sections can be joined with couplings for extended lengths
• Paintable Surface: Primer finish accepts standard baseboard paints
• High Radiant Output: Baseray units provide up to 5x more radiant energy than standard fin-tube baseboard designs
• Low Clearance: Efficient use of wall space in tight mechanical layouts
