Allied Air 27a17 Electric Heat Kit 15kw

Product Description

The ALLIED AIR 27a17 is a 15kW electric heat kit designed for forced-air HVAC systems. It uses helix wound nichrome heating elements that deliver efficient heat transfer and extended service life compared to standard resistance elements. The kit ships factory-assembled with pre-wired controls, a control box, and an access cover built from heavy gauge galvanized steel. Licensed HVAC technicians install this kit as an add-on heating source in air handler or fan coil applications where supplemental or primary electric heat is required.

This heat kit is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems that require electric resistance heat. The factory pre-wired control assembly reduces field wiring time during installation. The included circuit breaker simplifies integration into the unit's electrical section and supports compliance with local electrical code requirements.
