8' Hydronic Assembled Enclosure for Panel-Trim Baseboard

Argo Panel-Trim II Baseboard Enclosure – 8 Ft. Commercial/Residential Cabinet

The Argo 55PT2CO-8 Panel-Trim II Baseboard Enclosure is an 8-foot hydronic cabinet designed for high-output applications in both commercial and custom residential environments. This enclosure provides a durable housing for fin-tube heating elements and is well-suited for installations with limited wall space or elevated heating requirements, such as entryways, vestibules, or open areas with high heat loss.

Construction & Materials

Fabricated from 18-gauge cold-rolled steel, the enclosure is pre-finished in white and designed for long-term service in demanding environments. The snap-on cover allows for simplified installation, removal, and access for inspection or cleaning. Designed with a low-profile form factor, it supports optimal airflow and heat transfer while maintaining minimal visual impact on the room layout.
