Hydronic Unit Heater for Commercial Spaces
The Dayton 5PV16 is a suspended horizontal hydronic unit heater designed for wall or ceiling mounting in commercial and industrial environments. It delivers 1800 cfm of horizontal airflow using a 16 in fan with an OSHA compliant guard. The unit operates on a single phase 60 Hz supply drawing 2.2 A. It provides heating via steam or water through a header coil with a 1 1/2 in threaded female NPT connection.
Suited for High Output Hydronic Systems
This heater suits facilities with existing steam or water distribution infrastructure that require substantial heat output in a horizontal discharge pattern. It delivers 108 000 BtuH at 2 PSI steam and 78 400 BtuH at 200 F water with a 7.9 gpm flow rate. Buyers needing vertical downflow discharge or electric heating methods should look at alternative configurations. Spaces lacking the required piping connections or pressure ratings will not be compatible.
Capacity and Operational Headroom
The unit comfortably handles large area heating demands with its rated outputs and high airflow volume. The 24 in height and 19 5/8 in width profile fits standard structural spacing while the 13 13/16 in depth allows clearance in typical mounting scenarios. It runs out of capacity when the heating load exceeds the stated BtuH ratings or when the available steam pressure or water temperature falls below design conditions. The single phase electrical requirement limits application to standard commercial power.

Questions about this item
What power supply does the 2.2 A, 60 Hz motor need to run?
The heater draws 2.2 amps at 60 Hz on a single-phase circuit; connect it to a properly rated branch circuit and breaker.
Will the 1 1/2 in threaded female NPT connections fit the piping I already have?
The unit has 1 1/2 in threaded female NPT ports, so your existing piping must match that size and thread type for a direct fit.
How can I confirm the heater is delivering its rated output after installation?
Measure the air temperature rise and verify the flow rate reaches 7.9 gpm with steam at 2 PSI for 108,000 BtuH or water at 200 F for 78,400 BtuH.
