Product Details
Tough Guy straight tube heaters are designed for efficient building heating, offering fuel savings of up to 50%. They feature a positive pressure system that pressurizes the combustion chamber, with emitter tubes constructed from heat-treated aluminized steel. All gas and electrical connections are conveniently located at the same end of the heater, ensuring ease of installation. The heaters are equipped with reliable direct spark ignition and a 100% gas shut-off safety control system. With up to 40 feet of ducting for fresh air or sidewall venting capability, the blower, located inside the burner box, operates at minimal noise levels (less than 60 dB) due to the heavy-duty, permanently lubricated, and ball bearing blower motor. The highly efficient aluminum reflectors enhance heating performance, while additional features include a diaphragm air switch, a heavy-duty cast iron burner, and a burner inspection sight glass. A diagnostic monitoring light system is included, and the heater requires a 120V supply with options for external 24V thermostat connection or line voltage operation. The minimum mounting heights are specified to ensure human comfort and uniform energy distribution in complete building applications, with recommendations to mount the heaters as high as possible. The Tough Guy series is particularly suitable for high humidity environments such as car washes, greenhouses, swimming pools, wastewater treatment plants, and dairy barns. The product is CSA certified and is made in the USA, offering a 5-year limited warranty on tubes and a 1-year limited warranty on the unit.
