The EKB is designed to be an affordable, high-capacity garage / shop heater. Combining King’s patented Smart Limit safety technology with dual NiChrome coil elements for rapid heat transfer, the EKB is ideal for many residential applications. The flow-through design efficiently moves air by pulling air from the back and sides of the heater and discharges it out the front, easily heating a large space. The built-in thermostat has a temperature range from 40 to 85 degrees. The universal mounting bracket can be wall or ceiling mounted at a minimum of 6 feet above the floor. Good air distribution and comfort is achieved by swiveling the bracket to specific work areas.
