Any sources for 1970 vintage cast iron hydronic baseboard radiators?
I need help finding a f couple bolt-together baseboard radiator sections.
The sections bolt together with compression fittings between. I think it was installed in this midwestern US home sometime in the 1970's. Holes are 1" diameter and 6.5" on center. Section is 9" high and 2" thick. Need approximately 3 1/2 feet total (two sections). One section must be a right-hand end piece. Also need some associated sheet metal stampings for end and corner. Any info re manufacturer or possible sources would be appreciated. I have posted an ebay "Want it now" that includes a small photo. http://wantitnow.ebay.com/cast-Iron-...M EWINQ3aPOST Any ideas where I might find these sections would be greatly appreciated. |

I am alreadyworking with a contractor.. He thought the nit was a baseray
when he bid the job, but found that it wasn't interchangeable with what is there. The picture link in the original post should now be good again. Don't know what went wrong there...

We are using a contractor who is recommended as an area expert on hot water
systems. He thought that Baseray was a match, but the style is different and the holes don't align. He's now stumped and I have a disassembled radiator on my floor. The only option he offers is to either replace both baseboard sections in the room- approximately 20 feet, or perhaps shorten the current radiator somehow and fill in the space with custom sheet metal.. Shortening is a problem because the damaged piece is the end section, which has pipe fittings instead of compression fittings. He also destroyed and or lost the sheet metal for the corner and end covers. The Ebay link is now good if you want to take another look. "George" wrote in message ...
