Allied Air 16y36 Electric Heat Kit 5 Kw 208/230V 1ph

Product Description

The ALLIED AIR 16y36 is a 5 kW supplemental electric heat kit designed for installation in compatible air handler units. Part of the ECBA25 series, this heat kit delivers resistance heating capacity to extend the comfort range of existing forced-air systems. At 208/230 volts, single-phase, 60 Hz operation, it integrates directly into the air handler's electrical and control framework via a terminal block connection. Licensed HVAC technicians typically install this kit as an add-on to increase heating output in applications where primary heating may fall short. The compact form factor — 21.18 inches long, 11.38 inches wide, and 6.5 inches tall — fits within the designated kit bay of supported air handlers.

The 16y36 is intended for use with BCE5V series Enhanced Air Handlers in residential and light-commercial forced-air systems. It is suited for applications requiring supplemental electric heat in climates where a heat pump or cooling-only system needs a backup or auxiliary heating stage. Installation is performed during initial air handler commissioning or as an upgrade to an existing unit. Compatible model numbers are listed in the Compatibility section below.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed HVAC technician in accordance with NEC requirements and local electrical codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the air handler before inserting or wiring the heat kit. Verify that the unit's electrical supply matches the 208/230 volt, single-phase rating before energizing. Do not operate the heat kit without confirming proper airflow through the air handler, as insufficient airflow can cause overtemperature conditions.
