OVERVIEW
Finned strip heaters are composed of a heating element, a protective sleeve or sheath, and mounting hardware. Used as radiant heaters, they have finned strips to maximize surface area and heat transfer to the air.
Finned strip heaters are clamped or bolted onto objects or solid surfaces in several heating applications. Our strip heaters ar the best versatile choice to provide good surface contact heating over large areas.
