Tutco RHGA103240V Electric Heat Strip 10 Kw 240V

Product Description

The TUTCO RHGA103240V is a close-coupled electric duct heater designed for installation in RHGA Series Rheem air handling units. Rated at 10 kilowatts and built for 3-phase, 240-volt service, it converts electrical energy to heat within the supply air stream, making it a direct-fit replacement or factory-style add-on for compatible Rheem equipment. The unit carries ARL listing under L/N 29707 and is engineered with zero clearance construction, meaning it can be installed flush against adjacent ductwork without additional spacing requirements. Primary and secondary protection are built in, reducing the need for external safety components.

This heat strip is intended for residential and light commercial forced-air systems where electric heat is the primary or supplemental heat source. Its close-coupled plenum design integrates directly with the RHGA Series air handler, and the 20-inch by 20-inch plenum section matches standard unit dimensions for that platform. A built-in fan interlocking relay ensures the air handler blower must be proven before the heating elements energize. A hinged and latched access cover allows service technicians to reach internal components without disconnecting the unit from the duct. Single-point line connection and an air pressure switch are available as factory options upon request.

Installation Notes

Electric heat strips of this type are installed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians in accordance with NEC requirements for duct heater applications. Disconnect and lock out all power to the air handler and the heater circuit before performing any service or installation work. Verify that airflow is established and the fan interlock relay is functioning before commissioning the heating elements. Do not energize the unit without confirmed airflow, as insufficient air movement across the elements can cause overtemperature conditions and trip the safety protection devices.
