Hydronic Perimeter Baseboard Radiation

Across Europe and America, Hydronic Heating Is the Proven Standard for Comfort and Economy


KOM-PAK enclosures are prepainted in baked enamel Classic White or Designer Beige finishes to complement any decor.

  • Hydronic heating doesn't dry out the inside air like forced air systems.
  • Gentle convection warms the full length of cold walls and windows.
  • Rooms are easily zoned for individual control, resulting in lower fuel bills.
  • A dedicated heating system has none of the compromises of a combined heating/cooling system.

Beautiful Design

Sterling KOM-PAK baseboard radiation provides the comfort and economy of hydronic perimeter heat with the quality you expect from Sterling. The slim, low profile design offers the decorating flexibility homeowners prefer. Smooth, radius-formed end covers merge and match with the unit's sleek flowing lines.

 

KOM-PAK provides the flexible installation options contractors demand. The heavy gauge brackets simply snap in place, exactly where you want them. Telescoping fill in sections eliminate cutting and waste, and a flared tube at one end of the element eliminates couplings. Enclosures are sized to accommodate a return tube when needed.

Accessories snap into place with no sheet metal screws ever required. System components give the unit structural strength, complete rigidity, and freedom from warping.

Baseboards are stocked in 8', 7', 6', 5', 4', 3', and 2' lengths and packaged to suit your needs. Splice plates are provided in 8', 6', and 5' lengths. Telescoping sections come in 14" lengths.
The sturdy KOM-PAK element uses Sterling's "Open Box" fin design that prevents fin edges from contacting one another. The boxed and serrated aluminum fins increase radiating surface while directing and increasing convection. Sterling's exclusive Silent Glide Shoe, a heat resistant plastic component, allows the heating element to expand and contract smoothly for silent operation.

KOM-PAK dampers allow fingertip control of temperature and air flow direction in each room.

Like all Sterling radiation, KOM-PAK radiation is tested and approved in accordance with the rating code of the Institute of Boiler and Radiator Manufacturers (IBR) to ensure the product delivers its stated output.

Approved Ratings

Ratings are based on finned length. Finned length is 4" shorter than element length. The use of ratings at 4 G./P.M. is limited to installations (usually loop) where the flow rate is 4 G.P.M. or greater. When the flow rate is not known the standard flow rate of 1 G.P.M. must be used.

Ratings Chart

WATER FLOW CORRECTION FACTORS

If calculated water flow through a baseboard unit in a completely designed hot water heating system is greater than the standard flow rate (500 lb/hr), the rating of that unit may be increased by multiplying the standard water rating at 500 lb/hr by the factor shown for the calculated flow rate.
