York S1-2HK16500506 Heat Kit
The York S1-2HK16500506 is a professional-grade 5kW electric heat kit engineered specifically for integration with JCI residential air handlers. Operating on a 240V single-phase power supply, this unit provides 17,000 BTUs of supplemental or emergency heat. The assembly features high-grade nickel-chromium heating elements supported by ceramic insulators, ensuring long-term thermal stability and resistance to oxidation in high-static pressure environments. This specific model includes an integrated circuit breaker, which simplifies the field installation by providing built-in overcurrent protection and a localized disconnect point for servicing. The slide-in design allows for a precise fit within the cabinet, maintaining optimal airflow across the electric heat strip to prevent localized hotspots. For technicians, the plug-and-play wiring harness minimizes labor time while ensuring secure electrical connections. This HVAC heat kit with breaker is an essential component for split-system heat pump applications requiring reliable auxiliary heat during defrost cycles or low-ambient conditions.
Key Technical Benefits
- Integrated Circuit Breaker: Provides dedicated overcurrent protection and serves as a local disconnect for safer maintenance.
- Rapid Thermal Response: Nickel-chromium coils reach target temperatures quickly for immediate heating demand.
- OEM Compatibility: Designed for a precise fit in York, Luxaire, and Coleman air handlers to maintain UL certification and cabinet integrity.
- Thermal Failsafes: Equipped with high-limit thermal cutouts to prevent overheating in the event of airflow restriction.
- Heavy-Gauge Steel Frame: Resists warping and vibration during high-velocity blower operation.
Common Questions
Does this kit require a separate sub-panel for installation?
Since this unit includes a built-in circuit breaker, it can often be wired directly to the main service, provided the wire gauge and upstream protection meet local NEC requirements for the 5kW load.
Is this compatible with variable-speed blower motors?
Yes, the S1-2HK16500506 is designed to work with both PSC and ECM blower motors, provided the control board is configured to provide the minimum required CFM for 5kW of heat.
Can this be used as the primary heat source?
Yes, in smaller applications or specific climates, this 240V heat strip can serve as the primary heating source for the structure when sized correctly according to Manual J calculations.
