BROAN-NuTone 170 Wall Heater
The BROAN-NuTone 170 Wall Heater is a versatile, high-output convection heating solution designed for permanent recessed installation in residential and light commercial applications. This fan-forced wall heater features a heavy-duty, 18-gauge steel grille and a lubricated motor engineered for continuous operation. It offers field-convertible wattage options, delivering 500W to 2000W depending on the voltage configuration, making it compatible with 120V, 208V, and 240V circuits. The unit utilizes a nichrome heating element for immediate heat transfer and includes a manual reset thermal overload protector to ensure safe operation within the intended parameters. Its white powder-coated finish provides a clean aesthetic that mounts flush to the wall, optimizing space in high-traffic areas or utility rooms requiring reliable supplemental heat. This recessed wall heater is frequently specified by contractors for its durable built-in thermostat and streamlined installation process in 2x4 stud walls.
- Multi-Wattage Flexibility: Adaptable power ratings from 500W to 2000W allow for precise BTU matching across varying room sizes.
- Triple-Voltage Compatibility: Supports 120V, 208V, and 240V wiring, reducing the need for multiple SKUs on the job site.
- Rapid Heat Recovery: The high-efficiency blower and nichrome element provide fast warm-up periods in cold zones.
- Low-Profile Design: The 18-gauge steel grille sits flush, preventing interference with furniture placement or foot traffic.
Common Technical Questions
Can the Broan 170 be wired for both 120V and 240V?
Yes, this unit is field-convertible. You must adjust the internal wiring jumpers to match your specific supply voltage and desired wattage output as per the technical wiring diagram.
What is the minimum mounting height for this heater?
For optimal airflow and safety, the unit should be installed at least 6 inches from the floor and 12 inches from adjacent walls.
Does this heater require an external thermostat?
No, this model includes an integrated front-mounted thermostat for local control, though it can be bypassed for use with a compatible line-voltage wall thermostat if required by the application.
