Vulcan OS1442-1500B Strip Heater
This Vulcan strip heater delivers 1500 watts at 240 volts AC with a maximum sheath temperature of 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. It suits industrial processes that require consistent surface-mounted heat across a 42-1/2 inch length. The stainless steel sheath withstands demanding thermal cycling in manufacturing environments.
Stainless Steel Sheath and Mounting Tabs
The stainless steel sheath provides corrosion resistance and a watt density of 13 watts per square inch for even heat distribution. Included mounting tabs with slotted holes measuring 1/2 inch by 5/16 inch allow flexible positioning on equipment surfaces. UL Recognized component status supports compliance in regulated installations.
Surface Mount Installation Notes
Surface mounting uses 10-32 screws secured through the slotted holes at a 41-1/2 inch mounting dimension. Offset terminals simplify wiring access in tight control cabinets. Verify voltage compatibility and sheath temperature limits before energising to prevent overheating or insulation damage.

Questions about this item
How often will the stainless-steel sheath need replacement at 1200 °F?
The stainless-steel sheath is rated for a maximum of 1200 °F; running continuously at that limit will shorten its life, so plan on periodic inspection and replacement based on your duty cycle.
What limits continuous output on the 1500 W element?
The 13 W/sq in watt density and 1200 °F maximum sheath temperature are the first constraints reached under sustained load.
How much heat does the 42-1/2 in strip radiate during all-day operation?
At 1500 W and 240 V the heater delivers steady 13 W/sq in output; surface temperature will approach the 1200 °F sheath limit, so allow adequate clearance and ventilation.
