Cadet 2F500-8W Electric Baseboard Heater 500W 208V 30in

Product Description

The CADET 2F500-8W is a 500-watt electric baseboard heater designed for 208-volt single-phase circuits. Measuring 30 inches in length, this unit delivers 1,710 BTU/h of radiant-convection heat and installs low on the wall to take advantage of natural convection airflow. The all-white finish blends into standard residential trim. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians install this unit as a zone-heat solution in smaller spaces where forced-air distribution is impractical or absent. The lifetime warranty on the heating element reflects the straightforward, low-maintenance nature of electric resistance baseboard design.

The 2F500-8W is suited for residential bedrooms, offices, additions, and enclosed porches where supplemental or primary electric heat is required. Its 30-inch footprint fits beneath standard windows and along short wall runs without interfering with furniture placement. The low-profile baseboard form factor keeps the unit out of traffic paths while delivering heat along the floor line where it is most effective.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC Article 424 governing fixed electric space-heating equipment. Shut off and lock out the branch circuit breaker before making any wiring connections.
