Description
–
When there's not enough wall space to install baseboard radiation, install The Kicker by Slant/Fin. The compact Kicker provides the heat output of up to 12 feet of baseboard, depending on the model you choose. Sized to fit under cabinets or between wall studs, The Kicker is simple to install and easy to operate.
The Kicker is generally installed with baseboard or other radiators that make up a heating zone. An aquastat inside The Kicker activates The Kicker's fan so that it automatically turns on and off, delivering a quiet flow of heat to the room whenever the water in the heating zone is hot. A convenient switch enables the user to set the fan speed at high, low or off. The Kicker may also be installed as a separate zone with its own room thermostat.
The unique manifold-type heat exchanger of The Kicker provides higher heat output while minimizing friction loss. The supply water in each of the short loops off the manifold makes just a single pass through the heat exchanger. This provides higher supply water temperature to a greater percentage of the heat exchanger fins than a serpentine coil. Since this configuration helps minimize pressure drop, you can often install The Kicker in the same heating loop with baseboard without diverting tees. That reduces installation costs.

Very quiet heater
I installed this heater for a small addition we added onto our house. I didn't like the idea of using conventional baseboard heat and didn't want to install radiant floor heat. So I decided on the TK-90 with the addition of the recessed wall mount kit RMK. It works great, is quiet and looks good.

Fan noise and fan failure
At first purchase, I'd have rated the fans a 3 due to noise. After three years, I'd rate a 1. I purchased two Slantfin kickspace heaters 3 years ago. I chose this heater because, design-wise it was much better than the competition with lots of contact between the 1/2" copper tubing and the aluminum fins. However, upon installation, both fans were 'noisier' than I expected. I noticed one fan, in particular, was 'noisier' than the other. Squirrel cage fans are always a little noisy, so I didn't worry about it. The heat output was good, and the two-speed switch worked well.
However, the noisy fan failed recently with a 'cat fight' like sound. A small rubber 'clutch' that attaches the fan to the motor had sheared and was in two pieces and no longer supported the fan. Now, the other heater fan has started making fan noise as the fan winds up and down when the heat is on, so I'm just waiting.
The warranty on Slantfin heaters is unfortunately 3 years , so rather than spending 'good money after bad,' I replaced the defunct Slantfin fan with two 5" thermostatically controlled cabinet cooling fans. Air flow is not quite as strong, but the noise is close to zero, and the cabinet fans stay on about 20' longer due to thermostat on/off temperature setting. I think I'm getting the same BTU heat output.
Summary, I would not recommend the Slatfin to a friend as their quality control leaves a lot to be desired. Unless you are prepared for a bit of squirrel cage fan noise and the potential for further repairs (in a tight space) sometime down the road, look elsewhere.

I love this product! Wall heat on a budget.
Mounted this heater vertically in a 4-seasons enclosed porch. Adapting to 3/4" copper took some fancy work, but it was doable with a little perseverance. I would recommend this product and the enclosure for someone looking to add heat where baseboard was impossible.

This is a wonderful product. I will buy more of them.
I replaced a short section of baseboard in my kitchen area which we are remodeling. It fits under a new kitchen cabinet and works wonderfully well.

Fixes a long-standing problem
Had a zone that would run endlessly in cold weather. No room for more radiators. An HVAC guy suggested this heater. Put it in a week ago, just before the coldest weather of the winter (5 degrees). This heater has solved the problem. It is a bit of a job to install but well worth it.

Good day, if I remember correctly (it's has been a few years...) it is 1/2 inch. I put a reducer on my 3/4 inch pipe and then back to 3/4 when I installed it. There has not been any issues since I installed it. Patrick Grégoire

The noise from our Kickspace heater is barely noticable. On Low it is almost silent; on High it is noticeable, but not loud. Sorry I can't provide a technical answer, but, we are very pleased with the unit.

Q: What is the formula to determine how many BTU's needed per sq feet?
Asked by hot water to go 15 years ago
Add your answer
Verified Reply- PexSupply StaffWith a kick space heater, you will probably need somewhere between 30 and 45 BTUs per square foot. The actual total in any case will depend on the heat loss of the room/house.
