OVERVIEW
Strip heaters from WATTCO™ are composed of a heating element, a protective sleeve or sheath, and mounting hardware. If strip heaters are used as a radiant heater, they have finned strips to maximize surface area and heat transfer to the air. Strip heaters are clamped or bolted onto objects or solid surface contact heating over large areas.
