Unit Heater · 15 kW, 240/208V, 1-Phase · Built-In Thermostat and Bracket · King Electric KB2415-1-T-B2
What this product is for
This electric unit heater is for primary or supplemental heating in garages, workshops, warehouses, service rooms and other larger indoor spaces that need suspended or wall-mounted forced-air heat. It is a KB Series horizontal unit heater from King Electric with built-in thermostat control and an included wall/ceiling bracket.
Use for
Use for 240/208V single-phase heating applications where you need approximately 51,200 BTU/h output at 240V, directional airflow and overhead mounting to keep floor and wall space clear. Common installations include garages, mechanical rooms, storage areas, loading areas and light commercial workspaces.
Typical trade guidance: electric heat is often estimated at about 10 watts per sq ft in reasonably insulated spaces, so 15 kW may suit roughly 1,300 to 1,800 sq ft under typical conditions. Actual performance depends on insulation, layout, ceiling height, infiltration and local electrical code.
Avoid for
Avoid for outdoor locations, washdown areas, corrosive environments, hazardous locations or spaces requiring low-surface-temperature heat. It is also not the right choice where only a small branch circuit is available, as this heater draws approximately 62.5A at 240V and 54.1A at 208V.
Best for
Best for electricians and contractors specifying a suspended fan-forced heater for larger enclosed spaces, especially where faster air movement and directional throw are preferred over baseboard or wall convection heat. This model includes adjustable outlet louvres, a built-in hydraulic capillary thermostat and fan delay on 12.5 kW and larger models.
Installed in
Typically installed on a wall or ceiling using the included bracket. Manufacturer data lists a maximum mounting height of 12 ft (3.7 m) and an air throw of about 33 ft (10 m), making it suitable for open work areas and garage bays where heat needs to project into the occupied zone.
Why this product exists
This product exists for spaces that need more concentrated electric heat than baseboard heaters can provide, with directional airflow and overhead placement. It helps heat larger or exposed areas while keeping benches, doors and wall space more usable.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller unit heaters, this 15 kW model provides higher BTU output and longer air throw for larger spaces. Compared with 3-phase versions, this model is intended for single-phase power. Compared with ECO2S or 24V control variants, this standard KB configuration uses a built-in single-pole thermostat and line-voltage control arrangement as listed by the manufacturer and distributors.
