Portable jobsite heater 4000W
The Dayton 3VU34 is a portable electric heater built for commercial jobsites and garages. It delivers 4000W at 240V or 3000W at 208V with a fan-forced airflow of 300 cfm. The red powder-coated steel housing contains automatic thermal overheat protection. It suits contractors and workshops needing movable high-output heat.
NEMA 6-30P plug installation
The unit arrives with a NEMA 6-30P plug for 208/240V single-phase supply at 60 Hz. Wiring must match the 14.4A draw at 240V or 16.7A at 208V with a dedicated circuit and breaker. Common errors include using undersized cable or sharing the circuit with other loads. Verify the receptacle type before connecting.
Supply voltage and clearance check
Confirm the site provides 208V or 240V single-phase power at 60 Hz before ordering. The heater measures 14 in high, 14 in long and 10 3/4 in wide and deep, so allow space around the intake and discharge for the 85°F temperature rise. Ensure the environment tolerates the Proposition 65 chemical notice.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 300 cfm fan is moving air correctly after I plug in the 6-30P cord?
The unit should blow noticeably warm air within seconds; the automatic reset thermal protection will trip only if airflow is blocked or the 85 °F temperature rise is exceeded.
What comes in the box and what must I supply separately?
The heater ships fully assembled with its NEMA 6-30P plug; you must provide a compatible 208/240 V 30 A circuit and receptacle.
Should I choose the 3 kW or 4 kW setting for a 208 V supply?
At 208 V the heater draws 14.4 A and delivers 10,236 Btu/h (3 kW); at 240 V it draws 16.7 A and delivers 13,650 Btu/h (4 kW).
