Tutco 81-0856-00 Electric Heat Kit 10 Kw 208/240V

Product Description

The TUTCO 81-0856-00 is a single-phase electric heat kit rated at 10 kilowatts (kW) and designed for forced-air HVAC systems. It operates on 208/240 volts and draws 34.7 amps at 208V or 40.0 amps at 240V. The heat kit functions as an auxiliary or supplemental electric resistance heating element installed within an air handler or furnace cabinet. Licensed HVAC technicians install this component as part of a complete heating or heat pump system where additional heat capacity is needed.

This heat kit is suited for residential and light commercial applications where supplemental electric heat is added to an existing air handler or heat pump system. It is used in installations requiring a factory-compatible drop-in replacement that meets the original equipment electrical ratings. Bosch OEM reference number EHK10A and Ameristar OEM reference number MAYHTR1A10LUGA apply to this unit. Additional sizes in this product family include 5 kW and 8 kW options.
