Retrofit fins for baseboard heater pipes?

11/22/2007 08:17 AM thisolderhouse

I'm looking for a fin supplier for retrofiting fins to lengths of installed naked base board heater pipes rather than replacing the bare pipes with new finned pipes. There are hundreds of fin suppliers for chemical industry heat exchanger retrofits but haven't found any for baseboard heater pipes. Any leads for fin suppliers (NOT FINNED PIPES!) would be appreciated.

There used to be a maker of these back in the 1960's you could add to pipe. Each post requesting info for the same has come up empty in the past 10 years. Hope you find out so you can tell us where to get them. The old add-on fins were built heavy enough to ship and screw together, so put out less than half what baseboard fins do.

Yes, you really have to find out the MAKE and MODEL to get good answers. There IS more than one machine made.
