Heating Element for Fostoria Infrared Heaters

This 16-inch quartz heating element is built for Fostoria electric infrared heaters. It operates at 1.6 kW with a 6.7 A draw and is designed for horizontal mounting. The clear quartz construction suits workshops, garages or industrial spaces needing targeted radiant heat.

Quartz Radiant Heat Output

The element emits infrared warmth directly to objects and people without heating the surrounding air. Quartz construction handles high surface temperatures while the horizontal orientation spreads heat evenly across the work zone. No moving parts means silent operation and no fan noise.

Horizontal Mount, Two-Thirds Lamp Requirement

The 3/8-inch diameter tube fits Fostoria heater housings that accept 630-16249 elements. Horizontal mounting brackets are required, and the fixture must accommodate two-thirds lamp spacing. Verify your heater model matches these constraints before installation.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 16" horizontal heating element in my Fostoria heater, and what step is commonly missed?

Mount the quartz tube horizontally using the two lamp sockets; the step often missed is ensuring both ends seat fully in the ceramic holders before tightening the retaining clips.

What maintenance or replacement will the 1.6 kW quartz element need over time?

The clear quartz tube gradually devitrifies and loses infrared output; plan to replace the element when heat intensity drops noticeably, typically after several thousand operating hours.

What limit appears first when the 6.7 A element runs continuously?

The quartz envelope reaches its maximum safe surface temperature first; sustained operation beyond the rated duty cycle can cause premature devitrification or seal failure.
