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 À at wall paint is not recommended since it may
chip or crack when applied to surfaces that are heated.
Consult reputable paint dealer.
