The KBSH is a stainless steel high-temperature unit heater designed for harsh environments and engineered to elevate unoccupied room temperatures up to 160°F. Features a remote temperature control panel that gets mounted outside of the heated space. Designed for Process Equipment Rooms & Labratories.
Built with rugged 20-gauge type 304 stainless steel and elements, this heater was specifically designed for harsh environments, including dirty, dusty or corrosive areas requiring periodic washing or hose-down. Ideal for industrial settings, food processing plants, hot yoga studios and other facilities where maintaining high temperatures is paramount. The N.E.M.A. 4 wiring compartment is sealed making it water tight.
The remote temperature control panel includes advanced thermostatic controls to ensure precise and consistent heating and mounts outside the heated space increasing the heater’s longevity by protecting the electronics and mechanical components from extreme temperatures and potential damage ensuring reliable performance and extends the heater’s service life. This strategic design choice helps maintain optimal functionality and minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacements.

Engineering Specs
Contractor shall supply and install KBSH Series Stainless Steel heaters, manufactured by King Electrical Mfg. Company. Heaters shall be of the wattage and voltage as indicated on the plans.
Stainless Steel Construction: All exterior and interior metal enclosure parts are made from 20 gauge type 304 Stainless Steel. All fasteners and hardware are Stainless Steel.
Adjustable Outlet Louver: Stainless Steel louvers direct air up or down as needed for the heating application.
Rear Intake Screen: Heavy gauge Stainless Steel screen protects against foreign objects making accidental contact with the rotating fan blade.
N.E.M.A. 4 Enclosure: All wiring compartment penetrations are sealed with a polyurethane adhesive. The bottom access panel is sealed with a 1⁄4″ high density polyurethane gasket. This provides excellent protection against corrosion, windblown dust, dirt, and rain, splashing water and hose-directed water. All optional control accessories are N.E.M.A. 4 rated.
Stainless Steel Spiral Fin Elements: The metal sheath element is brazed with spiral fins then molded in to a coil configuration. This combination produces the best heat transfer while eliminating the potential for hot spots by positioning the element in the maximum air flow stream. Stainless steel increases element life in extremely corrosive environments such as waste water treatment plants.
Totally Enclosed Fan Motor: Permanently lubricated, long life unit bearing coated motor with enclosed rotor resists moisture and corrosion for long-lasting, trouble-free operation.
Aluminum Fan Blade: Axial flow-type mounted directly to the motor shaft for maximum efficiency.
Manual Reset Limit Electrically Held: Power is disconnected from the heater if an overheated condition occurs. The heater is re-energized automatically when the normal operating temperature returns.
Auxiliary Temperature Control Panel: Mounts outside the heated space increasing the heater’s durability and longevity by protecting the electronics and mechanical components from extreme temperatures and potential damage.
