  • Compatible with Fostoria 222, 223 and MM-24A heaters

Infrared quartz element for 480 V systems

This 1.6 kW tubular heater uses a clear quartz envelope and a 5-1/2 in pigtail connection to deliver electric infrared heat. It mounts horizontally and fits Fostoria electric infrared heater series units including models 222, 223 and MM-24A. The element runs at 3.3 A with voltage regulation of 0.02 and measures 19 11/16 in overall length by 3/8 in diameter.

Suited for high-voltage infrared replacements

Maintenance teams servicing 480 V AC industrial infrared heaters can install this element directly where the specified Fostoria series is deployed. It is not for low-voltage residential circuits, three-phase-only panels, or heaters that require a different mounting orientation or connection style. Buyers needing a different wattage, voltage or tube diameter should look elsewhere.

1.6 kW at 480 V AC decides fit

The 1,600 W output at 480 V AC draws 3.3 A and matches the voltage regulation of 0.02 required by the compatible heater series. If the target heater specifies a different wattage, voltage or amperage, this element will not operate correctly. Confirm the heater’s nameplate data before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much current does the 1.6 kW element draw when it runs continuously at 480 V?

The element draws 3.3 A at its rated 480 V AC, so power dissipation and heat output remain steady during all‑day operation.

Which Fostoria heater models accept this 19 11/16 in quartz tube with 5‑1/2 in pigtail leads?

It fits Fostoria Electric Infrared Heater Series units designed for Mfr. No. 222, 223 or MM‑24A.

Can the 3.3 A load share a 480 V circuit with older Fostoria elements rated for the same voltage?

Yes, provided the circuit breaker and wiring are sized for the combined amperage of all connected heaters.
