INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
TYPE K & T
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.
