Freeze protection heaters
Ernie - using Paul's suggestion, you should get approximately half
the heat out of the unit compared to if it was run on its design voltage of 220V. From a heat output perspective, probably somewhere around a little less than 2/3rds the heat output of a heater designed for 115v 15 amp circuit. This is a somewhat educated WAG - if we knew the amperage they would draw, we could calculate this more closely. Other issue - if you study the pictures on the web site ("more photos"), you will notice that the heaters are not mounted in any type of enclosure and as such they are not suitable (not safe due to exposed electrical connections, lack of thermal protection from the heating elements to adjacent materials, motor hanging out in space, etc) for directly mounting behind a cabinet, under a bed, etc - they MUST be mounted in some kind of metal enclosure and then the enclosure with the heaters mounted inside mounted where you want them. Also, there is no thermostat on these units, you will need to wire in some kind of thermostat either in/on the enclosure you build for them or a separate thermostat some where in the area you are using them to to heat, otherwise they will just keep heating until you disconnect them. Lastly, you may want to put an on/off switch some where near where they are located. Still a great price for what they are - but they are not a "drop in" ![]() Harry Saddock 83FC35 South Windsor, CT --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "bluebirdsp36" > > Ernie, that heater has 2 - 1000 w elements which is a lot for a 9" > long unit.
