Location of BASE-RAY, Recessed, Expansion

Installation Details

ABASE-RAY®heating system is extremely easy to install – no other heating system requires less labor. The same installa- tion practices that are used in an ordinary radiator system are followed. Use conventional methods in selecting boiler and pipe sizes, including mains, risers and branches. Supply and return connections to BASE-RAY are made in the same way as with conventional radiators.

I=B=R Installation Guide No. 200 for Hydronic Heating Systems shows installation details for both the conventional piping system and the Series Loop System.

LOCATION OF BASE-RAY

BASE-RAY should be placed along exposed walls in place of the regular wood baseboard. If the outside walls do not provide suf¿cient space, place additional assemblies on inside wall.

RECESSED

BASE-RAY may be recessed the depth of the lath and plaster, and will extend into the room approximately one and a quarter inches.

EXPANSION

BASE-RAY will expand about 1/8” in 10 lineal feet with a temperature rise of 180°F. To provide for this, holes cut through the Àoors should be larger than the pipe, and swing connections should be located in branches between the Main and Risers.

VENTING

When two or more BASE-RAY assemblies are connected in series on a hot water job it is necessary to vent each assembly, unless the assemblies are connected at the top tapping. When connected in series on a two-pipe steam job, the assemblies should be connected at the bottom, and only one steam air vent need be used.

MAXIMUM DIMENSIONS OF FITTINGS

Inasmuch as the BASEBOARD EXTENSION PANELS and PROJECTING CORNER PLATES are installed Àush with the face of BASE-RAY, there are a few types of ¿ttings that cannot be used in back of these parts because of the space limitations. As shown in the adjacent diagram, the diameter of the ¿ttings cannot exceed 1½” – radiator union elbows and regular pipe unions usually measure more, ¾” copper sweat or screw ¿ttings usually measure less. When iron pipe and ¿t- tings are used, straight connections may be made with ¾” right and left coupling and corner connections with ¾” street elbow. Because of these space limitations, Burnham has available a No. 90-S Compression Connector for use with the Projecting Corner Plate (see illustration).

Because of the radius on the face of INVERTED CORNER PLATE, ¿ttings having a diameter greater than 1½” may be used (see illustration). For easy and quick connections at inside corners, however, we recommend the Burnham No. 90-S Compression Connector for use with the 4-5/8” Inverted Corner Plate. Both are illustrated.

VALVE ENCLOSURES have been designed to accommodate almost all makes of shut-off valves and steam traps. See Il- lustration for Enclosure dimensions.
