Q: what typeof grill does thisunit come with
Asked by JLA 13 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffIt comes with a standard black grille as shown in our product photo. Designer grilles can be purchased separately. These are available in either black or white, with either slotted or diamond-shaped holes.
It's a simple metal grille just as pictured below. As I recall, it is up to the installer to devise a mounting. Hope this helps! Sent from my iPod
The grid at the front of the photo is the grille. There are also two end pieces that screw into the toe kick surround to hold it in place. The grille is positioned such that the fan speed switch on the front of the unit is aligned with the corresponding hole in the grill. When you've got it in front of you, it should be pretty self-explanatory. One thing to watch and account for is the clearance needed for the piping on the front of the coil, it can be pretty tight if the cabinet casing is made of thick material. If that is the case, you may need to "carve" out some clearance space to allow the front of the heater to be flush with the toe kick molding. Good luck!
The grill on the unit is a black metal much like a standard grill for your forced air systems. Hope this is what you were looking for.
The unit comes with a black metal grate, which is pictured. It's fairly sturdy and will not kick in easily!
It is made of steel painted black.

Q: I am planing heat for a remodel of my combo dinning room / kitchen. I Need ~1300 btu. I can put one of these in a pensula roughly in the center of the room. Will this provide enough heat or should i install 2 smaller units one toward the center and one on the outside wall. It will be installed on an individual pex run from a zone with a pump that also services 3 radiators. thank you; Mark

Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffPlease see the chart on the first page of the specification sheet at the link below for the heat output ratings of Beacon Morris kickspace heaters at various fluid temperatures. The K120 will easily be able to provide 1,300 BTUs. http://s3.pexsupply.com/product_files/KickspaceSub2.pdf
Q: I would like to put one of your kick space heaters in a bedroom. I am a light sleeper, and a fan coming on or off would wake me up. Can the fan be set for constant on, low speed? If not, any suggestions?
Asked by Jeff 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe manufacturer recommends buying a larger heater and setting it on the low fan setting in situations like these.
We have this unit in our kitchen, and the fan appears to only come on when it reaches a certain temperature point. The fan can not be set to "always on" as far as I've experienced.
I have the heater in my bathroom. It has a minimum, off and maximum setting. Mine is controlled by a thermostat so it will turn off and on as the room reaches the appropriate temperature. It is fan driven so you will hear it. If you are a light sleeper you may wish to consider one of those dehlonghi heaters which electrically heat a liquid which radiates heat into the room with no noise. Elliott Abrams
One can configure several different options for controlling the fan in a kick space heater. Although it won't come "out of the box" set to be constantly on, whoever does the installation can easily make this happen. Keep in mind that heat comes out of the kick space heater when the fan is on AND when hot water is passing through the coils. You did not describe the configuration of your hot water heating system, but if we assume that you have a thermostat in your room that controls the zone on to which the kick space heater would be added, letting the fan run constantly should not cause your room to overheat. If I were you I would consider wiring a timer switch in parallel with a thermostatically controlled switch. During the time period you designate on the timer (your sleep time) the fan can run constantly. During the rest of the day the themostatically controlled switch will turn the fan on only when hot water is present in the heating coils. The K120 kick space heater comes with a power switch that lets you select between a fan speed of "off", "low", or "high".
Yes it on or off with a high or low setting. Sent from my iPad
Hi, Fan cannot be placed in a continuous run mode, as it requires heat in the tubes to activate the fan. Fan can be in Lo-Hi-or off. Roland DuBois
Light sleeper may hear the fan come on. It's a little less noticeable on the low speed. Personally, I prefer the kick space heaters for kitchens or basements and not sleeping areas but they do put out nice heat..
Q: Hi There, I need to replace a 5ft baseboard heater panel with a kickspace heater as I want to put a cabinet in that place. Which model would be suitable (in terms of BTUs) for the replacement? (K42, K84, or K120)? secondly, Do I need a monoflo for the pipe installation? Thirdly, does it matter if the supply & return get reversed accidentally? Thanks in advance.
Asked by Anthony 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffA K42 would have the closest output to five feet of baseboard. You should use a monoflo tee if you are installing the unit off an existing hydronic heating loop.
Your 5 ft of baseboard, assuming a typical Installation, might deliver about 5*600 = 3,000 Btu/ hr. The k42 is rated at 1480-5240 Btu/hr. As the k42 is cheapest and will meet your need I'd use it. Whether you need monoflo depends on your installation. If the baseboard that you are replacing is fed by a monoflo then you will still need monoflo. If the baseboard you are replacing is part of a bigger, 3/4 inch loop then you would want to consider that the k42 is only 1/2 in. And will restrict water flow too much in the rest of the loop if plumbed in series like the old baseboard. I would either plumb it in parallel using monoflo Tee with a 3/4" diameter pipe. Or use normal Tee and in the 3/4" parallel piece with a valve which you can restrict the flow if K42 heat output seems too low. If your baseboard is only 1/2" just plumb k42 directly into the loop with out the parallel bypass pipe. It does not matter if supply and return are swapped for the k42. If your question was in regard to the monoflo T, direction does matter. But if I'd installed one wrong I'd try it before ripping it apart. Depending on the error it may not be significant. -Chipper
The k42 is bigger the 5 ft of base board. Don't buy a unit bigger than your cabinet! Mono flow is not needed and directing in and out of the unit don't really matter. Sent from my iPad
The k84 would prob. be enough, and they do recommend mono flow for the install...and do not mix up the supply and return as the return water is not as hot as the water coming from the boiler (supply)
Q: I noticed the flow rate is 1-3 GPM, I'm using a condensing combi heater with a flow rate of at least 4.2 GPM. Will that differential damage this kickspace heater? Do I need to step down the flow rate with a tank or some other device?
Asked by Bobbito 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffThe elevated flow rate proposed presents no adverse effect on the kickspace heater. No damage will occur. According to the manufacturer, there may be a slightly elevated BTU output but it will be marginal.
Q: Installing the Kick-Space heater, are there some type of flexible connections, or do these get soldered in solid ?
Asked by Stevemag 14 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYou can connect the unit to copper or PEX, but there is also a flexible hose kit available (part HK-10).
If you are installing this under a cabinet you should use flexible connections with sharkbite elbow fittings. If you are mounting it where it is accessible I would still use sharkbite fittings because the instructions say not to silver solder it.
You can solder this in solid or use 5/8 in heater hose from an auto parts store with 4 brass solder in barbed fittings from your plumbing store or online. You can also buy the kit, but its $50 for $20 worth of parts.
Q: Does this unit have a on/off switch and or stage levels for the fan?
Asked by Looking for heat 15 years ago
Add your answer
The unit doesn't have an on/off switch, but does let the homeowner select fan speed. Basically, the unit engages according to heating demand. Adjustment can be made to the direction that the air is forced out, however.
Q: Can kickspace heaters be installed vertically in the wall as opposed to horizontally?
Asked by Lou 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffYes, they can be installed in a wall. Beacon Morris also offers a wall box (part W120).
Lou, Don't they make wall-mount units? I wasn't looking specifially for one...but I b'lieve I saw them while surfing for the Kick-Plate heater I bought. I guess you probably could install in a wall, but you would need to duct the out-flow away from the floor with a 90 degree duct. The other thing is that at least the K-120 would be too wide to fit between 16 in. centers. The width qouted doesn't include the hook ups, which you could 90 as well.
