Tutco Duct Heaters

Features

  • The rugged, efficient, open Frame Duct Heaters offer you the capability to heat large volumes of air with fast warm-ups and cool-downs.
  • Tutco’s open design provides low pressure drops with no buildup of excessive temperatures and the low static pressures allow you to use smaller, more economical blowers.
  • Coils are exposed directly to the air flow enabling immediate heat transfer from wire to air while remaining relatively cool themselves.
  • A range of sizes are available to meet your specific needs - including voltages up to 600 volts - single and three phase.
  • The Frame Duct Heaters have a long history of trouble free service and are easy to install.
  • This heater is intended for use in any application including residential, commercial, and industrial processes

Product Description

Tutco, the world’s largest supplier of open coil heating elements, produces the highest quality products in the market. Tutco’s unique design allows for free fl ow of air around ceramics and lowest possible pressure drop through element and rack, providing forced air applications that are an environmentally sound solution for your project. Thermal Devices offers the following Tutco duct heaters:

E-Series – Flip-Able Duct Heater

The E-Series Flip-Able Duct Heater has been specifically designed, developed and tested with symmetry in mind eliminating the need for right and left handed designs. This one heater may be installed in four different positions.

  • UL and ETL Listed
  • Patent-pending “Flip-Able” design
  • Symmetrically designed heater
  • No more left and right hand heaters
  • One heater for six mounting positions with vertical up and downflow
  • Can be rotated to fit the requirements and location of the HVAC system
  • May be used as a stand-alone duct heater
  • Offers lower standard heater wire watt density and higher duct to heat coverage
  • More high and low kilowatt options are available in all sizes

UL Listed Outdoor Duct Heater

  • Heater is UL listed for Outdoor Applications
  • All of the limit controls in all TUTCO duct heaters are automatic resets or are manually resettable. There are no devices that have to be replaced when tripped.
  • In a horizontal airflow application, the airflow direction is not specific; it can go either direction without any modification.
  • With Tutco’s wire rack element suspension system, the heater coil is less susceptible to airflow shading and allows a very small pressure drop across the coils.
  • All TUTCO duct heaters carry a zero clearance rating for installations into ducts.

E-Series – VAV Flip-Able Heater

Tutco’s new E-Series VAV Flip-Able Heater has been specifically designed, developed and tested with symmetry in mind eliminating the need for right and left handed designs.

  • Patent-pending “Flip-Able” design
  • UL and ETL listed for multiple uses within 20″ of valve
  • Symmetrically designed heater
  • No more left and right hand heaters
  • One heater for four mounting positions
  • Can be rotated to fit the requirements and location of the HVAC system
  • May be used as a stand-alone duct heater, or mounted directly to a VAV single duct valve system
  • Offers lower standard heater wire watt density and higher duct to heat coverage
  • More high and low kilowatt options are available in all sizes
