Tpi 4883702 Infrared Heater 4947 Btu 120V

Product Description

The TPI 4883702 is an electric infrared heater rated at 4,947 BTU/h, 1,450 watts, and 12.1 amps at 120 volts. Infrared heaters produce radiant heat that warms objects and surfaces directly rather than cycling air through a space, making them effective in drafty or open environments where forced-air systems lose efficiency. This unit is well-suited for spot-heating applications in workshops, garages, warehouses, and similar light commercial or residential spaces. At 21 pounds, the 4883702 is a fixed installation unit installed by qualified electricians or HVAC technicians familiar with electric resistance heating equipment.

This infrared heater is designed for applications where localized radiant heat is preferred over convective heating. Typical installations include commercial workshops, loading docks, covered patios, and industrial work areas where occupants benefit from direct radiant warmth. The 120-volt single-phase power requirement makes it compatible with standard commercial and residential branch circuits, provided the circuit is sized appropriately for the 12.1-amp continuous load draw. No gas supply, venting, or combustion air is required.

Key Features

• Infrared radiant heating delivers warmth directly to objects and occupants without heating intervening air
• 4,947 BTU/h output suitable for spot or zone heating in open or semi-enclosed spaces
• 1,450-watt, 12.1-amp draw operates on 120-volt single-phase power
• No venting, combustion air, or gas supply required — purely electric operation
• Fixed-mount design weighing 21 pounds for permanent installation applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electric infrared heater for permanent spot-heating installations requiring 120-volt single-phase power and a 4,947 BTU/h radiant heat output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel and verify zero voltage before making any wiring connections. The circuit must be sized to handle a continuous load of at least 12.1 amps, which typically requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit per NEC continuous-load rules. Follow the manufacturer mounting instructions for proper clearance distances from combustible materials and overhead obstructions.
