This board a huge help to the general public, thank you to all who take time to respond to questions.
I am installing hydronic baseboard heaters underneath receptacles. Does anyone see a problem with this based on;
Low 120 degree temperature system, heat generated by water heater and not a boiler.
I am using Slant/Fin 30 and cant find anything on their website about if the manufacturer prohibits this. There is even a brochure on their website showing the baseboard under a receptacle but cant find anything that they prohibit this. Since slant/fin doesnt say anything about it, based on that is appears I am in the clear from NEC 110.3(b)
Yes a dummy could put a cord on top of it but seems like that would only be a problem in high heat boiler systems or electrical baseboard, not low temperature hydronic. I dont see 120 degrees burning a cord or making it brittle enough to cause a fire situation.
Its really hard to avoid receptacles because I am an advocate for more receptacles and installed them every 6 ft or less in my duplex build, almost impossible to avoid them.
Thanks in advance appreciate comments.
