The 500 W rating delivers 8 W per square inch across the 21 in length, reaching a maximum sheath temperature of 1200 °F for consistent surface heating.
How does the 120 V single-phase supply limit the heater's installation?
It requires a standard 120 V single-phase circuit and carries CSA, cURus and UL 499 recognition, so it meets North American safety standards for fixed wiring.
What mounting hardware and clearances does the 21 in strip need?
Mounting tabs with slotted holes 1/2 in long by 5/16 in wide accept 10-32 screws on a 20 in centre spacing for surface mounting.
