Minimum clearance of baseboard

[GLENN R. HELDER]

Can anyone let me know the minimum clearance from the floor to the bottom of a residential baseboard convector?
What would be the minimum/maximum temp at the baseboard convector after system is running for 15 minutes? (for an average residential boiler system)
Thank you,
Glenn

Boiler heat I think is around 180 degrees, if I remember right, so clearance on flooring materials is not a factor.

I wouldn't think so either, it was probably at least a couple inches off the floor anyway I would think...you have a picture?

Slant/fin covers are installed on top of finished hard surface floorings or kept up 3/4" off the subfloor to allow for carpeting.
