This heater cover instantly rejuvenates outdated or worn-looking, yet perfectly functional, baseboard heaters. End caps are designed to snap securely onto panels. All Premium Series end caps (Closed, Open, and Zero Clearance) are constructed from super heavy-duty 18-gauge steel for long-lasting durability. Each end cap can contribute an optional 1.75 in. of additional span when attached to a baseboard panel.
Baseboarders Premium Series Zero Clearance end caps are symmetrical, with no left or right orientation required. They are used when the original back plate terminates within 1/2 in. of an adjacent wall. These end caps are designed to snap onto Baseboarders Premium Series panels only and are intended for heaters with pipes that bend down into the floor or back into the wall, rather than continuing into an adjacent wall.
The panel perforations measure 1/8 in. in diameter to allow proper airflow. These covers are intended for hydronic (hot water) baseboard heaters, but they can also be used with electric baseboard heaters. When using electric baseboard heaters, basic safety precautions should be followed, as they operate at higher surface temperatures. Baseboarders products will become just as warm as the original heater.
With a firm push, the assembly slips into place over the existing baseboard heater, ensuring a secure fit and a safety-focused design that is both child-safe and pet-safe.
Great product. Its expensive if youre updating multiple rooms, but you get what you pay for.. Mike. Monroe, NY. Wed Mar 22 2023
