Q: I accidentally hooked up the supply to the return of the unit and the return to the supply. At the time I did not see the indicators on the unit and assumed it's just a coil so it should not matter. Does it matter? Can I leave it alone like this?
Asked by Tom 11 years ago
Add your answer
Having the supply and return reversed will not affect the flow or the heat output, but since the temp switch is installed on the supply side and set at 140 degrees, you may have it kick off on a low temp situation if the water drops below 140 as a result of passing thru the heater. If your system is set at 160 or greater it is unlikely that you will have a 20 degree drop across the coil.
Piping backwards will diminish performance as the air and water should flow against one another or counterflow, that is warmest water in contact with warmest air. Other than slightly diminished performance piping incorrectly should cause no harm. Since these heaters are typically applied as supplementary heaters, you likely have more capacity than you need, even if piped backwards. Sent from my iPhone
As far as I know, the only mechanism on the unit is the thermostat/hydrostat, which tells the fan to turn on at a certain temp. There are no valves or pumps unless they've changed the design since I installed mine. So it shouldn't matter which direction the water flows. Hope this helps.

The thermostat on the supply side will turn on the blower when the supply is hot enough. If you reverse the flow the thermostat may turn the fan off when the return temperature drops during normal operation. The fan will likely cycle on and off repeatedly.

Q: Hey guys, I am thinking of purchasing one of these units for my kitchen and bathroom remodel jobs. ONE THING I want to know - I have this flooring (Resilient vinyl plank flooring, floating floor) http://www.homedepot.com/p/TrafficMASTER-Allure-Ultra-7-5-in-x-47-6-in-Vintage-Oak-Cinnamon-Resilient-Vinyl-Plank-Flooring-19-8-sq-ft-case-517115/202352552?N=5yc1vZbzjz Since this heater is installed very close to the floor, will the heat generated from this heater warp or damage the vinyl flooring? Is the heat directed towards the ground or towards the air? Thanks!

This might be nit-picky, but I want to make sure you understand what these units are. These heaters do not "generate" any heat. They are hydronic fan coils that use hot water pumped through them for heat. If you are thinking these are electric heaters, they are not.They have an electric fan, but the heating coil is hydronic (hot water). They will not produce any heat unless they are connected to a hot water source. If you already know this, then here's how to approach your question. The discharge air temperature from these units specifically depends on the temperature of the water you are using to heat it with. If you are using 140 F water, then the air temperature cannot be more than that. If you are using 190 F water, then the air will be hotter but still less than the water temperature. Use that information to determine whether the air temp will be too high. If you aren't sure whether the material will have an issue with it, take a test piece, a thermometer and a heat gun and blow air at or above the temperature in question onto the material to test it. Having said that, with many variations of using these, I've never had any problems with the air coming out too hot for a flooring material. One issue, if your water temperature is too low (less than 120 F at the unit), the snap disc sensor in the fan may not turn on. Here is the low temp. control that you can get. http://www.supplyhouse.com/Beacon-Morris-BMKR02024-L02-Low-Temp-Aquastat-for-K120 I hope this helps. Good luck!
The heat is directed from the side towards the direction that it is setup for. I have mine sitting on HW flooring, but this unit is like a mini radiator. Much of this answer relies on what you keep your water temperature set to. I really doubt it would damage your flooring, but am not completely familiar with that type of flooring.
Q: does it work with steam heating system?
Asked by gabe 12 years ago
Add your answer
No sir it will not
Mine is on hot water not steam Envoyé de mon iPad
No, these heaters are not designed for use with steam systems. However, some steam systems do have a steam condensate (hot water) circuit that would work if connected to one of these units and a pump. If your system has a hot water circuit as part of its system piping, that may be suitable for these units with the appropriate pump and connection piping. Good luck!
The kick space heater shouldn't be connected to steam but you can connect it to the water tank on your steam boiler. You will need a circulating pump to pump the water from the boiler through the kick space heater and back to the boiler. Use a room air thermostat to turn the circulation pump on when the temperature is below the setpoint and turn the circulation pump off when the temperature is above the setpoint. The manual provides a piping diagram and some instructions. JoeNavy from South Carolina
Q: How large should opening be cut into toe kick of cabinet to accommodate this?
Asked by Macey 12 years ago
Add your answer
The manual says to cut the hole 23" wide and 4" tall. But depending on the details, you might have an "it depends" situation. Are you going to install the unit through the same hole? If yes, you'll need it to be a big enough to allow you to slide the entire unit plus pipe connections through it. If you are going to cut a hole into the cabinet bottom and make an access door, then the hole only needs to accommodate the air flow (front AND side return air) and front switch. The hole size is not critical for operation, as long as the entire coil front is open and you have sufficient return air , it's usually an aesthetics issue. For installations I have done, I have normally sized the hole by lining the cover grill up with the installation location and adjusting the hole to be as big as you can make it but still allow the grill and trim to cover it acceptably. You need to watch out for the cabinet carcass and how it is constructed, you don't want to cut out an important cross-piece. I recommend an access opening in the cabinet bottom if at all possible. It will make the installation a lot easier and allows access for cleaning and servicing. If you can do that, then the recommended hole size works fine. Good luck!
When I installed mine I made the cutout the size of the grate, excluding the sides that attach to the cabinet. Mine could have been a little smaller, but it really doesn't show.
The toe kick opening for my unit was 24".
