Ruud rxbh-1724a10j-b Electric Heater Kit 10kw 208-240V

Product Description

The RUUD rxbh-1724a10j-b is an electric heater kit rated at 10 kilowatts for use in residential and light commercial air handling units. It operates on 208-240 volts, single phase, 60 Hz power and includes a built-in breaker for over-current protection, eliminating the need for a separate disconnect in many installations. The kit also ships with a Smart Plug, which simplifies field wiring connections. Nickel chromium heat elements deliver consistent, long-service heating output. This kit is part of the RXBH series, engineered for direct integration into compatible air handlers as a factory-style add-on or field-installed electric heat section.

The rxbh-1724a10j-b is suited for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where electric supplemental or primary heat is required inside an air handling unit. It is a typical installation for HVAC technicians adding electric heat capacity to an existing air handler or replacing a failed heater kit in the field. The RXBH series was designed specifically for Rheem and Ruud OEM equipment as well as other compatible HVAC brand air handlers. The included Smart Plug connection simplifies termination during installation.
