Product Summary

The SunStar® Garage Tube Heater is ideal for residential garages, vestibules, entryways, workshops, enclosed patios, restaurants, smoking shelters, small greenhouses, hard-to-heat small areas and low-ceiling height applications. Low intensity radiant heat can save up to 30% in fuel savings over convection warm air heating. Heaters can be controlled by a line voltage thermostat (sold separately). If preferred, the heaters can be controlled by a 24V Thermostat and a 24V Thermostat Relay Kit (both sold separately). U.S.A.

NOTE: In residential garage applications, the heater must be vented outside through sidewall or the roof. In commercial/industrial space heating applications, the heater can be indirectly vented (optional exhaust hood sold separately). Please review the detailed Installation Operating Instructions (attached) for other specific installation requirements (gas pressure, ventilation etc.) prior to purchasing the heater.
