Cadet 5F1250-8W F Series Baseboard Heater 1250W 208V 60in

Product Description

The CADET 5F1250-8W is an F Series electric baseboard heater rated at 1250 watts and 208 volts, delivering 4265 BTU/h of radiant convection heat. At 60 inches in length, it is sized to cover spaces up to 200 square feet, making it a practical choice for bedrooms, offices, and other enclosed rooms requiring dedicated zone heat. The unit operates quietly with no blower motor, relying on natural convection airflow across the heating element. Installation is straightforward for licensed electricians, with a low-profile design that fits along standard baseboard walls without obstructing floor space.

The 5F1250-8W is suited for residential applications where 208-volt single-phase circuits are available, common in multi-unit residential buildings and apartments served by three-phase distribution systems. It functions as a standalone zone heater or as supplemental heat in rooms where the primary system is undersized. The white finish blends with standard interior trim. Electricians and HVAC technicians typically install this unit as a primary heat source in individual rooms controlled by a wall thermostat or an integral line-voltage thermostat.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power at the panel before making any wiring connections.
