    HI Johnmickel...

    What kind of baseboard are we talking about... cast iron or copper tubing/metal fin type? Do you have glycol in the system? That info. Would help here...

    In terms of replacement, until you have your first issue/problem with the baseboard I wouldn't go messing with things... noy usually.

    Why do you have this concern? Let me know more, OK?
