Electrical Draft Barriers
OPERATIONAL FEATURES
Model SBST/F features a tubular heating element with fins bonded to the sheath. To prevent overheating in cases where the air discharge may be blocked, full length thermal overload protection is provided. The vacuum charged capillary automatically restores operation when the cause for overheating is removed. To ensure quiet operation, the heating element is anchored and free floating at each end on nylon bushings.
INSTALLATION FEATURES
Model SBST/F construction allows simple, snap-fit installation. The back plate which houses the heating element assembly is simply attached to the wall surface at the desired height and the front cover enclosure is then snapped into place.
PEDESTAL FEATURES
Model SBST/F-PD shall have 2″ adjustable pedestals and the heater back will be painted to match the front cover. 1″ of adjustment is available on the cast pedestal.
PEDESTAL QUANTITIES
2 on 1′, 2′, 3′, 4′ and 5′
3 on 6′, 7′, 8′, 9′ and 10′

Questions
Questions
Q: What is the longest enclosure you can make without freight damage?
Twelve feet long.
Q: What is the longest heater length?
Ten feet long, but we can place up to twelve feet of heat on a 12′ long enclosure using, as an example, 2 – 6′ heaters on the 12′ backplate.
Q: Are blank section punched with slots for air inlet and discharge?
No. Regular blanks have no holes or slots unless specified.
Q: Can custom colors be painted?
Yes. The factory requires a color chip or sample to match.
Q: What can be installed for controls in a standard unit?
A thermostat in one junction box and a disconnect in the other.
Q: What are control sections used for?
When you need any other control other than a stat or disc.
Q: Are duplex recepticles available?
Yes. You need a front cover that is not part of the heater front. (Example: 6’6″ back with 6′ heat on the left and a 6′ front and a 6″ front with duplex to be snapped to the back plate.)
Q: What is the difference between a power relay and a transformer relay?
A power relay has to be fed 24 volt to power the contacts. A transformer relay produces 24 volt from the coil.
Q: Can a custom made heater be produced for a specific project?
Yes. New dies can be made and testing at U.L. can be performed, however, there are costs associated with this option.
Q: What is the delivery for anodized finish vs. painted finish?
You can add at least 4 weeks to the delivery, plus there is added cost also.
