Nordyne 917173C Heat Kit
The Nordyne 917173C Heat Kit is a field-installed 20kW electric heater transition designed for seamless integration into Nordyne E3EB and E4EB series electric furnaces. As a veteran-grade OEM replacement part, this kit provides the high-output thermal capacity necessary for primary or supplemental heating in manufactured and modular home applications. The assembly includes premium resistive alloy elements engineered for rapid heat transfer and long-cycle reliability. To streamline onsite installation, the unit features integrated circuit breakers that serve as a localized disconnect and provide essential short-circuit protection for the internal heater wiring.
When installing this 20kW electric heat kit, contractors must verify that the minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) and overcurrent protection at the main distribution panel meet the dual-circuit or single-circuit requirements specified on the furnace data label. This kit is built for standard 240V single-phase systems and accommodates both upflow and downflow configurations with zero-clearance approval. Utilizing genuine Nordyne HVAC parts ensures that the limit switches and contactors are perfectly calibrated to the factory fan-speed curves, preventing nuisance tripping and optimizing airflow across the element stubs.
Key Benefits for the Technician- Dual Integrated 60A Breakers: Provides a convenient localized unit disconnect and circuit protection for internal 20kW components.
- Precision-Fit Thermal Limits: Factory-calibrated safety switches prevent overheating without the need for field adjustment.
- Pre-Wired Harness: Plug-and-play low voltage connections reduce installation time and prevent wiring errors in the field.
- Heavy-Duty Element Construction: Corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium coils designed to withstand high-static pressure environments.
Is the Nordyne 917173C compatible with gas furnaces?
No, this kit is specifically engineered for Nordyne-manufactured electric air handlers and furnaces, including E3 and E4 series models. It cannot be adapted for gas-fired equipment.
Does this kit include the 105°C thermoplastic supply wiring?
This kit includes the internal element wiring and breakers; however, the high-voltage field supply wiring from the distribution panel to the furnace must be provided by the installer and sized per the NEC.
Can I use this 20kW kit in a single-circuit electrical setup?
While the kit is provided with breakers, a separate single-circuit adapter may be required depending on the specific furnace model and the existing onsite electrical service.
