Bard 8604-048BX Heat Strip
The Bard 8604-048BX Heat Strip is a 9KW supplemental electric heater designed for field installation in specific Bard wall-mount heat pumps and air conditioners. This 240V electric heater assembly provides critical auxiliary heating capacity during defrost cycles or low ambient conditions. Engineered with high-grade nickel-chromium heating elements, the unit features a 3-terminal block connection for streamlined integration with the existing HVAC control circuit. This heater kit includes a built-in thermal limit switch to ensure safe operation by preventing overheating during periods of low airflow. Contractors should verify the unit’s MCA (Minimum Circuit Ampacity) and MOCP requirements to ensure the electrical service is sized correctly for the 9KW load. Ideal for W42 to W72 series wall-mount units, this heat package restores efficient heating performance in commercial and modular applications.
Key Benefits
- 9KW Heating Output: Provides 30,700 BTU/hr of supplemental heat for large-scale wall-mount systems.
- OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for seamless fitment in Bard units without the need for extensive field modifications.
- Robust Safety Controls: Includes primary and secondary high-limit protection for improved system reliability.
- Durable Element Construction: Heavy-gauge coils resist oxidation and extend service life in demanding environments.
Common Questions
Is the Bard 8604-048BX a slide-in replacement?
Yes, it is designed as a field-installed kit that slides into the designated heater compartment of compatible Bard heat pumps.
What electrical configurations are required for this 9KW heater?
This unit requires a 208/240V single-phase power supply and specific breaker sizing; always consult the serial plate of the host unit for exact electrical requirements.
Does this kit include the circuit breakers?
The 8604-048BX typically utilizes the system's internal terminal block or existing circuit breaker configuration, depending on the specific model of the air handler or heat pump.
