Supco sh204 Braided Aluminum Heater

Product Description

The SUPCO sh204 is a braided aluminum heater designed for use in refrigeration and HVAC applications where low-watt-density heating elements are required to prevent condensation, maintain fluid viscosity, or protect components from freezing. Braided aluminum construction provides flexibility during installation and efficient heat transfer across the contact surface. This type of heater is typically installed by refrigeration technicians and HVAC service professionals working on condensate drain lines, compressor sumps, or similar components requiring freeze protection or condensation control.

The sh204 is suited for residential and light commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems where a flexible, conformable heater element is needed. It is commonly applied to drain pans, drain lines, and other surfaces where maintaining temperature above freezing is critical to system performance. Installation locations vary by system design and regional climate requirements.

Key Features

• Braided aluminum construction for flexibility and efficient surface contact
• Low-watt-density design minimizes hot spots during operation
• Conformable form factor allows routing around irregular surfaces
• Suitable for freeze protection and condensation control applications
• Compact design for use in confined equipment spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement braided aluminum heater for residential and light commercial refrigeration and HVAC equipment requiring flexible heating elements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC or refrigeration technician. Disconnect all power to the equipment before removing or installing any heating element. Ensure the heater is in full contact with the surface being heated and secured according to the equipment manufacturer's guidelines. Follow applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage or line-voltage accessory wiring.
