GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Kickspace heaters are for use with forced hot water residential heating systems and consist of a copper tube, aluminum
finned heating element, with an electric motor and blower of unique cross flow design. Their purpose is to deliver a
comfortable stream of warmed air, at or near floor level, and their construction is extremely compact so minimum space
is required for installation. The type K & T heaters are primarily used in horizonal floor installation, for example: under a
kitchen counter cabinet, or bathroom sink enclosure. They are ideal for radiant systems with the use of a low temperature
aquastat designed to turn the unit on at 110°F. Type W is for vertical mounting, fully recessed in the wall studs, with the
air discharged upward through a flush mounted, louvered front panel. Type F is a surface mounted wall unit, with the
air discharged evenly through a louvered front panel in an upward direction. All types have heating elements with 1/2"
nominal (5/8 O.D.) copper tube connections, and 115V. electric blower motor, interwired with a 120°F (49°C) reverse
acting aquastat that prevents operation until hot water is circulating. These units are NOT intended to be used on one or
two pipe steam systems. See bottom of page 5. For gravity fed systems, it is recommended that a separate circulator pump
be installed for the kickspace heater.

Page 5: Maintenance And Service
MAINTENANCE & SERVICE Properly installed, the Kickspace heater should require very little attention. Since the heating element is carefully constructed and tested, and of non-ferrous materials, it should never require service. The cross- flow blower has been thoroughly engineered, with ball bearings for 10,000 hrs. bearing life expectancy. As with any electrical rotating device, a yearly inspection and cleaning is recommended. - Page 6 Kickspace Heater Troubleshooting 1.

Verify the following: a) Check to see if there is a call for heat • Turn up thermostat, wait for water to come up to temperature and unit blower/motor should turn on. b) Verify aquastat is clipped firmly to copper tube.
