Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount 5,000 Watt Electric Heater, 17,065 BTU, 240 Volts, Single Phase, Model# FUH5-4

Yes, and yes.

My unit says it draws 21 amps to start so I installed my with #10 3w/g - 30amp 240 volt breaker..

The answer is yes on both counts. Exactly the way I connected my heater.

This heater would use 10/2 on a 30 amp breaker.

Run 24/7 no problem it is well built and safe

This heater can run on a constant basis. The thermostat will cycle the heater on and off.

The FUH54 has a built in thermostat for room temperture control and built in limit switch for over heat protection. This unit can run on a constant basis if needed, the thermostat will cycle the heater on and off.

I have this heater mounted on a 7' ceiling in my shop and you can barely hear it when it running, I would say it is one of the quieter electric heaters I have seen.

This unit is very quiet.

With any heater, the electric heaters will be the most quiet . Once the heater reaches a certain temperature, the fan will then come on to circulate the heat. The blower fan will create a low noise like any fan. I doubt the horses or trainers will even notice the noise.

The FUH5-4 unit heater is a 240 volt model. It would be wired with two hots and a ground.

This heater can be installed without a neutral wire.

i used 10/2 it is what the book called for

This Fahrenheat Ceiling-Mount heater would need 10 gauge minimum insulated copper conductor (with ground) wire to run power from the breaker/fuse to the heater. Only use copper wire rated at least 75 degrees Celsius. Do not use aluminum wire with this unit.

yes, it has a full diagram with it to show you how to change the voltages.

Yes, the heater can be field adjusted to 208V. The heat output will be less if you change the voltage to 208V.

I have a switch installed in a steel box directly on the unit that is all I use to turn it on/off. It works fine, and I am sure you could wire it in the wall, but it would require more wire, and I preferred to it this way. Just make sure you get a switch capable of handling the current.

Yes you can do that. You will want to use the same contacts that the internal thermostat has. You can wire in series with the thermostat.

I had the same question and called Fahrenheat. They told that the lowest setting is not off. Therefore, I wired the heater to its own circuit and shut it off with the circuit breaker.

There is not an on/off switch, you would adjust it to the lowest setting , which is 40 degrees. The heater does need to be hardwired, so unplugging it is not an option.

Ours is 24X24 and does great in SC..

This Fahrenheat ceiling-mount electric heater would be able to raise the temperature in a 5,000 cubic foot area about 25 degrees.

You can as long as you follow the directions on what guage wire for how long your extension cord is going to be. I used an extension cord on a different heater in the house that didn't have as many watts but was still 220 volts and it was 25' of 10 guage extention cord cable. I made it an actual extention cord so I can unplug from the wall and the heater

I spoke with the manufacturer about the wiring on this heater and using a plug would void its UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approval and void the warranty.
