2. Super-strong enclosure
won’t go out of shape under
rough abuse or even when used
as a step by children. The super
strong Slant/Fin enclosure holds
its shape through installation and
years of use. Prime, cold-rolled,
rephosphorized, heavy-gauge,
galvanized steel is formed into
rigid front panel and one-piece
bottom, back and top panel.
Channels formed along top and
bottom edge of front panel add
extra structural strength.
3. Rust resistant galvanized steel
is standard on all Fine/Line 30
baseboard. The special alloys and
rust inhibitor finish used in making
Fine/Line 30 ensure that the
enclosures will maintain their
like-new beauty, even in high
moisture areas such as
bathrooms, basements and
laundry rooms. No other
residential baseboard offers
this long lasting protection.
4. Room control damper
helps control individual room tem-
perature. Slant/Fin’s unique pivot
and damper mounting assembly
provide the straightest, most
responsive damper available.
Factory assembled. Holds any
setting from fully open to fully
closed or any setting in-between.
Ordinary baseboard dampers may
leave large spaces even when
closed. The Slant/Fin damper,
when closed, effectively reduces
convection air flow.
5. High performance heating
element. Maximum heat
output. Fins won’t loosen.
Double bent aluminum fins
pack extra heating surface in a
slimmer enclosure. Interlocking
tongue-and-groove collars
permanently bond fins to each
other and to the tubing. Stops
“pings and clicks”. Tight bond
assures maximum heat-transfer
efficiency. End fins are of plated
steel for extra ruggedness.
6. No-noise expansion cradles.
Self-adjusting velvet smooth
expansion cradles eliminate
noisy metal-to-metal contact with
bracket and enclosure. Cradle
slides silently over support
bracket as heating element
expands and contracts.

1. High strength support
brackets.
Slant/Fin’s heavy gauge steel
support bracket is shaped by a
series of progressive die strikes
which multiply the strength of the
metal alone. The bracket becomes
a powerful “spine” for the entire
unit, holding cover, element and
damper vane securely in place.
Brackets can’t pop out of place,
yet may be slid laterally for
installation convenience. Support
wedge at top of bracket reinforces
top panel against damage. Half-
moon cutout provides room for
return line.
Wall streakage eliminated. Top panel and damper form a
shield to keep dust from settling into baseboard interior, and
to deflect heated air away from the wall, into the room. Back
panel has no holes or slits to leak air behind the back of the
baseboard causing wall streakage.
