Vulcan

Vulcan OS1208-150A Strip Heater 120V 8in 150W 1200F

SKU CH-Q8XA-3NN1R

Surface-mount strip heater delivers 150 W at 120 V with a 1,200 °F stainless-steel sheath

  • Heats to 1200°F for demanding thermal processes
  • 150 W at 120 V delivers consistent power output
  • Stainless steel sheath resists corrosion and oxidation
  • 12 W/sq in watt density ensures even heat distribution
  • UL Recognised component meets recognised safety standards

Purpose & Fit

The Vulcan OS1208-150A is a 120 V strip heater rated at 150 W with a maximum sheath temperature of 1200 °F. Its eight-inch overall length and 12 W/sq in watt density suit industrial process heating where a compact, surface-mounted element is required.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that the supply voltage matches the 120 V rating and that the circuit can accommodate the 150 W load. Confirm the mounting surface provides a seven-inch hole-centre spacing and can accept 10-32 screws through 1/2 by 5/16 inch slotted holes.

Build & Daily Use

The sheath and body are stainless steel, giving corrosion resistance at high temperature. Offset terminals keep wiring clear of the heated zone, while the included mounting tabs allow a secure surface-mount installation. UL Recognised component.

Questions about this item

Does the Vulcan OS1208-150A strip heater ship with mounting hardware or do I need to buy screws separately?

The heater includes mounting tabs with slotted holes measuring 1/2 in by 5/16 in designed for 10-32 screws; the screws themselves are not included.

How do I decide between the 150 W rating and the 12 W/sq in watt density for my application?

The 150 W figure is the total power draw at 120 V, while 12 W/sq in describes the heat intensity across the sheath surface; choose based on whether your limit is total energy or surface loading.

What does the 1200 °F maximum sheath temperature mean once the heater is installed in equipment?

It indicates the highest temperature the stainless steel sheath can reach under normal operation; your design must keep surrounding materials and airflow within that limit.
