Allied Air 10w48 Electric Heater Kit 7.5 Kw 208-240V

Product Description

The ALLIED AIR 10w48 is an electric heater kit with terminal block designed for use in heat pump and air handler systems requiring supplemental or emergency electric heat. Rated at 5.6 kW at 208 volts and 7.5 kW at 230 volts, this single-phase, 60 Hz kit installs directly into compatible air handler cabinets and provides a factory-style terminal block connection for clean, code-friendly field wiring. At 4.95 pounds and compact dimensions, it is straightforward for HVAC technicians to handle and position during installation. It covers the most common residential voltage configurations without requiring separate kits for each voltage.

This heater kit is suited for residential heat pump systems that require an electric resistance backup heat strip. It is typically installed inside an air handler or fan coil cabinet as a supplemental heat source during low-outdoor-temperature conditions or as emergency heat when the compressor is locked out. Licensed HVAC technicians handle this installation as part of new equipment commissioning or field upgrade work.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electric heater kit replacement for compatible ALLIED AIR air handler and heat pump systems. Refer to the equipment installation manual or the air handler nameplate to confirm heater kit compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the air handler at the disconnect and breaker before accessing the heater kit compartment. Follow NEC requirements for overcurrent protection and conductor sizing based on the kit's rated ampacity at the installed voltage. Do not energize the heater kit without confirming that airflow is established through the system, as operation without adequate airflow can cause thermal cutout activation or component damage.
