Tutco 81-0831-00 Electric Heat Kit 15 Kw 208/240V

Product Description

The TUTCO 81-0831-00 is a 15 kW electric heat kit designed for forced-air heating applications in residential and light commercial HVAC systems. Rated for 208/240V single-phase power, it draws 52.0 amps at 208V and 60.0 amps at 240V. The kit ships with an integrated breaker, eliminating the need for a separate disconnect in many installations. HVAC technicians install this type of heat kit inside an air handler or furnace air handler cabinet to provide supplemental or primary electric resistance heat downstream of the coil section.

This heat kit is suited for split-system air handlers where electric heat is required as the primary heat source or as auxiliary backup in heat pump systems. It is an OEM-referenced replacement for Bosch applications under reference number EHK15B and for Ameristar equipment under reference number MAYHTR1A15BKRA. Installation is typically in residential or small commercial ducted systems where single-phase 208/240V power is available at the air handler disconnect. Other capacity options in this product line include 5 kW, 8 kW, and 10 kW units.

Key Features

• Dual-voltage rated: 208V and 240V single-phase operation
• 52.0 amps at 208V / 60.0 amps at 240V
• Integrated breaker included — no separate disconnect required in qualifying installations
• OEM-referenced replacement for Bosch EHK15B and Ameristar MAYHTR1A15BKRA

Compatibility

OEM-referenced replacement for Bosch air handlers using reference number EHK15B and Ameristar air handlers using reference number MAYHTR1A15BKRA. Confirm voltage, amperage, and physical dimensions match the existing air handler cabinet before installation.

Installation Notes

Electric heat kits are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for electric heating equipment. Shut off all power at the main disconnect and verify the circuit is de-energized before handling the kit or any wiring connections. Ensure the supply circuit is rated for the full-load amperage of the kit at the operating voltage in use. Do not energize the kit without airflow present across the elements.
