6' Cast Iron Hydronic Baseboard, Snug, Complete

Weil-McLain Snug Cast Iron Baseboard – 6 Ft. Hydronic Radiator

The Weil-McLain 190100020 Snug Baseboard is a 6-foot sectional cast iron radiator designed for use in hydronic heating systems. This low-profile radiator offers a combination of radiant and convective heating, delivering consistent thermal output across the entire run. Ideal for perimeter heating applications, it is suited for both gravity and forced hot water systems in residential settings.

Product Overview

Constructed from heavy-duty cast iron, this unit provides long-term durability and thermal mass, allowing it to retain heat and maintain room temperature stability. The sectional design facilitates uniform heat transfer and reduces cycling. Installation is typically wall-adjacent using standard mounting hardware, and units may be joined or capped depending on run length and room layout.

Technical Specifications

• Model: 190100020
• Length: 6 feet (nominal)
• Material: Cast Iron
• Mounting: Floor-mounted with brackets (wall-adjacent placement)
• Heating Method: Hydronic – closed loop or gravity-fed systems
• Finish: Factory-primed; paintable on-site to match interior finishes

System Performance

• Heating Distribution: Combined radiant and convective output provides even room coverage without fan assistance.
• Thermal Retention: High mass cast iron construction allows the radiator to maintain heat after boiler shut-off, reducing short cycling and increasing comfort.
• Sound Profile: Operates silently—no moving parts or expansion-induced clicking.
• Flow Compatibility: Designed for compatibility with standard 3/4" or 1" hydronic piping systems depending on system layout.

Installation Considerations

This radiator requires installation by a licensed HVAC or plumbing contractor. Secure floor support is necessary due to the unit’s weight. Proper system balancing and supply/return orientation should be verified to ensure full output. Can be combined with corner and extension fittings from the Snug series for continuous perimeter installations. All work must comply with local mechanical codes and manufacturer clearances.

Recommended Applications

• Single-family residential heating systems
• Gravity or pumped hot water systems
• Low-profile heating zones requiring radiant-convective distribution
