Product Details
The Alcove or KCV series cove heater provides warmth from above with a space-saving radiant design that produces convection heat by heating the air similar to a baseboard. This combination allows for quick comfort through radiant heat along with sustained warmth from convection, uniformly dispersing warm air throughout the room. Mounted near the ceiling, it alleviates furniture placement issues and features lower surface temperatures than baseboard or fan heaters, offering a pleasant heating experience akin to older ceiling cable systems. With no moving parts, it operates silently and requires no maintenance, making it ideal for day care centers, assisted living housing, housing developments, laundry rooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Key attributes include: warmth from above, safer and more versatile operation, radiant and convection heat, a long-life element, silent running, an extruded aluminum front panel, the ability to be wired at both ends, easy surface-mount installation, and an open-back design for maximum convection. Constructed of extruded aluminum with a maximum cross-section thickness of .962 inches and a sawtooth profile to enhance the radiating surface area, the heater is open on the top and bottom to maximize convection heating. It features a 32 cubic inch junction box at both ends with 1/2 inch knockouts on the back and top. The ni-chrome wire embedded in magnesium oxide powder is enclosed and sealed in an aluminum sheath, providing an element wattage density of approximately 150 watts per linear foot. The full-length back case is made of 22-gauge electro-galvanized steel with a baked enamel finish. The heater is proudly made in the USA with U.S. and global materials and includes a 2-year limited warranty.
