Value Collection HDS-140A-0017 Strip Finned Heater 500W

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION HDS-140A-0017 is a high-density strip finned heater rated at 500 watts and designed for industrial and commercial process heating applications. The unit operates at 240 volts and delivers 14 watts per square inch of surface heat density, making it well suited for applications that require concentrated heat output in a compact form. Constructed from stainless steel, it offers corrosion resistance in demanding environments. At 14 inches overall length, the heater features an offset terminal configuration that simplifies wiring access in tight enclosures or assemblies. Installation is typically handled by licensed electricians or qualified maintenance technicians.

This strip finned heater is intended for use in process heating, duct heating, air heating assemblies, and similar industrial or commercial setups where a robust, high-density heating element is required. The stainless steel fin and body construction make it appropriate for environments with moisture, light chemical exposure, or elevated ambient temperatures. Its compact 14-inch profile allows integration into custom heating assemblies, duct systems, or open-frame air-heating rigs where standard cartridge or tubular heaters may not provide sufficient surface area for efficient heat transfer.

Key Features

• 500-watt output at 240 volts for reliable high-density process heating
• 14 watts per square inch heat density for concentrated thermal output
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and withstands elevated temperatures
• Offset terminal style simplifies wiring in confined enclosure spaces
• 14-inch overall length fits standard process heating assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or retrofit strip finned heater for industrial and commercial process heating systems requiring a 240-volt, 500-watt, 14-inch stainless steel element with offset terminals.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out all power to the circuit before handling or connecting the heater. Ensure terminal connections are rated for the operating voltage and current draw before energizing. Do not operate the heater without adequate airflow across the fins, as running it dry can cause damage to the element or surrounding components.
