Standard Features

Indeeco’s Compact explosion-proof unit heater is designed with both size and economy in mind. Compact advantages and unique features include:

Compact Size
This small design is only 13 inches wide, which makes it ideal for applications where limited space is available.

Redundant Overtemperature Protection
Primary and secondary automatic reset thermal cutouts for additional safety.

Stainless Steel Construction
Provides superior corrosion resistant protection. Optional Dirty Duty construction adds polyester powder coating to all aluminum parts for use in corrosive applications.

Optional Marine Duty Construction

Heating Elements
Industrial grade, Type 304 stainless steel finned tubular heating elements are manufactured by INDEECO.

Terminal Enclosure
A NEMA 7, 9 cast aluminum enclosure with a threaded bottom cover permits easy access to the built-in controls from underneath the heater.

Grilles
An adjustable stainless steel louvered outlet grille directs airflow 45° up or down and a heavy gauge stainless steel rear grille protects against accidental contact with the fan blade.
