Weil McLain, 190100016, Complete Snug Baseboard, 3/4 in Threaded, 4000 BTU/hr, 5 ft, 9-3/4 in, Cast Iron

Weil-McLain Snug Cast Iron Baseboard – 5 Ft. Hydronic Radiator Section

The Weil-McLain 190100016 Snug Baseboard is a 5-foot sectional cast iron baseboard radiator designed for perimeter heating in low-pressure hot water or gravity-fed hydronic systems. It is constructed for high thermal mass and even heat delivery, combining radiant and convective heating mechanisms to support consistent temperature control along exterior walls and beneath windows.

Construction & Materials

• Length: 60 inches (5 feet nominal)
• Material: Cast iron
• Finish: Factory-primed; intended for field painting
• Maximum Working Pressure: 50 psi
• Mounting: Floor-mounted with baseboard brackets (sold separately)

System Application

• Heat Transfer: Combines radiant surface emission with natural convection
• Thermal Retention: High mass allows residual heat emission after system shutoff
• Use Location: Typically installed along perimeter walls to neutralize cold wall effects and downdrafts
• System Type: Compatible with gravity and pumped closed-loop hot water systems

Installation Guidelines

Installation of cast iron baseboard requires proper leveling, anchoring to floor supports, and secure piping integration to match system pressure and flow requirements. Units may be connected with additional baseboard sections or mitered corners to accommodate room layout. System balancing should account for total run length and element count to maintain uniform heat distribution.

Recommended Applications

• Single-family residential perimeter heating systems
• Low-velocity pumped or gravity-fed hot water systems
• Retrofit projects requiring high thermal mass components
• Baseboard zones adjacent to high-exposure exterior surfaces
