Strip Heater for Surface Mounting
The Tempco CSH01613 is a 25-1/2 inch strip heater designed for surface mounting in industrial heating applications. It operates on 120V AC single-phase power and delivers 500W with a watt density of 7W/sq in. The sheath is constructed from seamless 304 stainless steel for durability. This unit suits process heating tasks requiring consistent thermal output.
Mounting Tabs and Slotted Holes
Included mounting tabs feature slotted holes measuring 1/2 inch in length and 5/16 inch in width. These slots accommodate 10-32 screws and allow for alignment adjustment during installation. The overall mounting dimension is 24-1/2 inches between tab centres. Parallel terminals simplify electrical wiring connections in the field.
1200°F Sheath Temperature Limit
The heater reaches a maximum sheath temperature of 1200°F, providing headroom for high-temperature processes such as platens, dies or tank heating. UL Recognized component status supports compliance in regulated equipment builds. It is not suited for applications exceeding this temperature ceiling or for immersion in corrosive media incompatible with 304 stainless steel. Buyers needing integrated temperature controls or alternate voltages must source separate components.

Questions about this item
How often will the 304 stainless steel sheath need replacement under normal use?
The seamless 304 stainless steel sheath is rated for a maximum temperature of 1200 °F and carries UL recognition, so it typically lasts the life of the heater without scheduled replacement.
What is the first limit reached when the heater runs continuously at 500 W?
The sheath temperature will hit the 1200 °F maximum before any other limit, so the built-in thermal protection or external control must cycle power at that point.
How hot does the surface get and how much power does it draw when running all day?
At 500 W on 120 V the heater reaches its rated 1200 °F sheath temperature; the 7 W/sq in density keeps surface heat steady without forced-air cooling.
