Product Description

The ENERCO F160561 is an 80,000 BTU indirect fired utility heater built for demanding industrial and commercial heating applications. It operates on natural gas and includes a conversion kit for liquid propane, giving installers flexibility at commissioning. The unit runs on 110 volts AC single phase and features spark ignition with a self-diagnostic control module for simplified troubleshooting. Its low-profile housing is specifically designed for buildings with limited overhead clearance, with a minimum floor-to-heater-base clearance of 8 feet required. Two angle brackets for ceiling mounting are included in the box. Licensed HVAC or heating contractors typically handle installation and startup on this class of appliance.

The F160561 is rated to heat up to 2,667 square feet, making it a practical choice for warehouses, garages, shops, and light industrial spaces. The unit supports Category 1 vertical venting and Category 3 horizontal venting, providing layout flexibility for a range of building configurations. The 1/2 inch gas connection is standard for this BTU class. The included natural gas to liquid propane conversion kit allows a single SKU to serve either fuel type without sourcing a separate conversion package.
