The KBP-LHP Series sets the industry standard for versatile, multi-wattage unit heaters with enhanced visual control. Built on the trusted legacy of the original KBP, the KBP-LHP delivers smarter design, improved controls, and easier installation—now featuring a factory-installed high/low heat switch and pilot lights for power indication and safety limit status.
Engineered for rugged performance, the flow-through design efficiently circulates air by drawing it in from the rear of the heater and discharging it out the front, delivering fast, even heat to large spaces. Constructed with high-quality components, the KBP-LHP Series is well suited for both residential and commercial applications.
All models include a built-in thermostat with an easy-connect terminal block for simple field conversion to a remote line-voltage thermostat. The versatile High-Low switch allows users to quickly choose between maximum heat for fast warm up and lower heat for steady, energy efficient comfort.
The integral fan delay continues to dissipate residual heat from the elements during the cool-down period, maximizing heat transfer and overall efficiency. King’s exclusive dual Pic-A-Watt® steel fin elements provide multiple wattage options, allowing precise customization to meet the heating requirements of virtually any space – now with clear visual confirmation of operation and safety status.

Product Features
High/Low Heat Control for Instant Output Adjustment
The versatile High-Low switch allows users to quickly choose between maximum heat for fast warm up and lower heat for steady, energy efficient comfort. And the includes pilot lights for power indication and safety limit status, providing enhanced control and clear visual system feedback.
Each unit includes a built-in thermostat for precise temperature regulation, with an easy-connect terminal block that allows simple field conversion to a remote line-voltage thermostat.
Now That’s Smart!
Safe Comfort For Large Spaces
Patented Smart Limit Protection (U.S. Patent #6,748,163 B2) automatically shuts power off to the heater in an abnormal event and must be manually reset for safety.

Engineering Specs
Contractor shall supply and install KBP-LHP unit heaters manufactured by King Electrical Mfg. Company. Heaters shall be of the wattage and voltage as indicated on the plans.
Construction: All exterior and interior enclosure components are fabricated from 20-gauge electrogalvanized steel with a rust-inhibiting baked enamel finish. Components are assembled using solid mechanical rivets rather than spot welding, eliminating heat-affected zones and hidden weld defects. Riveted joints are fully visible and inspectable, providing consistent structural integrity under vibration and thermal cycling. Smooth rounded corners provide a clean, modern appearance.
Pic-A-Watt Heating Element: Exclusive King multi-tap element allows field adjustment to several wattages at time of installation. Steel sheath elements of various resistance are copper brazed to steel plate fins producing a multi-wattage heating element.
Thermostat Options:
Built-in Thermostat: Single pole factory installed hydraulic capillary tube thermostat for precision heating control. Operating range 40° to 90° F. Includes an Easy-Connect thermostat terminal block to field convert to accept a line voltage (240V/25Amp) remote thermostat.
High/Low Heat Switch: Factory-installed, line-voltage rated high/low heat selector switch providing manual selection between two preset wattage outputs. Switch allows field operation without rewiring and maintains all safety limit protections in both heat settings.
Pilot Lights: Factory-installed pilot lights provide visual indication of heater status, including power-on operation and high-limit safety activation for quick diagnostics and safe operation.
Fan Delay Switch: The fan continues to operate after the thermostat shuts off in order to remove the residual heat left in the elements. Power must not be interrupted.
Adjustable Outlet Louver: Louvers direct air up or down as needed for the heating application.
Rear Intake Screen: Heavy gauge steel screenprotects against foreign objects making accidental contact with the rotating fan blade.
CFM: 385
Universal Mounting Bracket: Combination ceiling/wall bracket is included with every heater. Allows for 15-degree downward tilt.
Unit Bearing Motor: Permanently lubricated, long life, unit bearing 4-Pole motor with 20 cc of oil. Enclosed rotor provides long-lasting, trouble-free operation. Thermally protected. 1500 RPM.
Patented Smart Limit Protection (U.S. Patent #6,748,163 B2): Equipped with King’s patented thermal overload Smart Limit Protection®, which disconnects elements and motor in the event normal operating temperatures are exceeded. If thermal overload trips due to abnormal operating temperatures, thermal overload shall remain open until manually reset by turning the heater off for 15 minutes. Automatically reset of thermal overloads, which allow the element to continue to cycle under abnormal conditions, will not be accepted.
Standard Color: Onyx Gray
Easy Installation: A hinged quick access panel located on the bottom of the heater allows for quick wiring and easy maintenance for the life of the heater. Includes universal wall/ceiling bracket for simple installation.
Approvals: cULus (E41422)
