Tutco EC-08CKB 8kw 240V Electric Heater with Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The TUTCO EC-08CKB is an 8.0 kilowatt electric heat assembly built for 240-volt single-phase 60 Hz operation inside fan coil systems. It ships with a factory-installed internal circuit breaker that handles branch circuit protection without requiring a separate disconnect. Open-coil resistive heating elements deliver reliable, direct electric heat, and automatic high-temperature limit controls shut the assembly down if operating temperatures exceed safe thresholds. Factory wiring terminations reduce field labor during installation. This assembly is sized and configured specifically for 18 size fan coil platforms requiring an integral-breaker 8 kW heater kit.

This electric heat assembly is designed for residential and light commercial fan coil applications where electric heat is the primary or supplemental heat source. It is sized for 18 size fan coil units and is a factory-configured kit, meaning the breaker, elements, and terminations arrive as a single assembly ready for drop-in installation. Typical install scenarios include multi-family housing, hotels, and commercial spaces served by central chilled and hot water systems using fan coil terminals with electric heat strips.

Key Features

• 8.0 kW heating output for 18 size fan coil platforms
• 240-volt single-phase 60 Hz operation
• Factory-installed internal circuit breaker provides integral branch circuit protection
• Open-coil resistive heating elements for direct, efficient electric heat delivery
• Automatic high-temperature limit controls for thermal safety shutoff
• Factory wiring terminations reduce field installation time

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install electric heat assembly for 18 size fan coil units requiring an 8 kW single-phase heater with an integral circuit breaker.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the fan coil unit before handling the heater assembly or making any wiring connections. Verify that the supply voltage and phase match the assembly ratings before energizing. Do not bypass or jumper the factory-installed circuit breaker or high-temperature limit controls.
