MODEL KBP PlatinumX

heavy duty electronic unit heater

King’s KBP PlatinumX series unit heaters are the most full-featured compact unit heaters, with in-built electronic thermostat for accuracy and remote control for simple operation. Comes standard with a provision for adding an optional 24V thermostat, allowing for remote temperature control or integration with a building management system (BMS). Combined with summer fan-only and thermostat timer modes, the KBP PlatinumX adapts to your needs year-round.

Designed for rugged performance, the flow-through design efficiently moves air by pulling air from the back of the heater and discharges it out the front, easily heating a large space. The integral fan delay continues to dissipate heat from the elements during the cool down period, maximizing the heat exchange in the room. King’s exclusive dual Pic-A-Watt steel fin elements allow customers to select from a range of wattage options, tailoring the heater to an area’s specific heating requirements.
