ADJUSTABLE END CAPS & FILLER PIECES
–Adjustable End Caps are available in both left-hand and right-hand patterns and are used in the same loca- tions as the standard end caps except the 9” length of the adjustable end caps makes it possible to ¿ll in spaces of up to 7-1/2”. A knockout is also available in the ends for piping.
Filler pieces are used where a 9” space or less exists between two sections of baseboard or between a section of baseboard and baseboard extension.
To install adjustable end cap or ¿ller piece accessory, insert bolt thru hole in accessory and engage toggle as shown below. Place accessory against BASE-RAY®at same time pushing toggle thru air outlet of BASE-RAY. With accessory in ¿nal location, tighten bolt until accessory is secure. Use ¿nger to keep toggle in vertical position, as shown below.
10. Completing Installation – Important
AIR-SEAL – It is necessary to prevent leakage of air between the walls and BASE-RAY®, since this will cause dirt streaks on the wall above the heating unit. This can be avoided by installing an “Air-Seal”.
We recommended using 1” wide tape for this purpose, preferably with a thermal setting adhesive, available from Burnham at nominal charge.
With the adhesive side down, press one-half of tape against the top of BASE-RAY and the other half against the wall as illustrated on page 9.
WOOD MOULDING – For ¿nished installation, 3/4” quarter round or other wood moulding should be nailed to wall on top of BASE-RAY (over “Air-Seal”) and Trim and down side of Valve Enclosures. When Projecting Corner Plates are used, install wood moulding at base of Corner Plate to hold in place. An illustration showing the application of the moulding can be found on page 9.
PAINTING – BASE-RAY and Trim are primed with a latex (water based) paint and must be top coated with a high grade oil or solvent based enamel to prevent rusting of the metals immediately after installation. Primer coated products should not be allowed to sweat as a result of high room humidity or cold water in system. The use of Àat wall paint is not recommended since it may chip or crack when applied to surfaces that are heated. Consult reputable paint dealer.
