Info & Guides

Description

Exposed loading areas lose heat fast, and pipes and equipment suffer when temperatures drop. The King Electric KB Platinum 3 Phase 208V Unit Heater can be your primary or supplemental heat source in those spaces, including fire room vaults and high-rise buildings. It mounts on the ceiling or a wall, so your floor stays clear. Pick the tier that matches the area you need to protect.

The 3-phase design spreads the electrical load, which helps reduce wear over time and makes the KB Platinum an efficient match for commercial electrical service. After a power outage, the auto memory feature restores your last settings, so the heat comes back on without anyone climbing a ladder to reset it.

Key Features and Benefits of the King Electric KB Platinum 3 Phase 208V Unit Heater

  • Spiral Fin Elements: Copper spiral-finned metal sheath elements sit in the high-airflow stream, which transfers heat efficiently and prevents hot spots.
  • Electronic Controls: A built-in thermostat with variable heat settings holds your set temperature, and you can run a schedule from the floor with the programmable timer mode and remote control.
  • Summer Fan Mode: A fan-only summer mode moves air without heating, so the heater stays useful in warm months too.
  • UL Certified: The heater carries UL certification, so you know it meets recognized safety standards for commercial installations.
  • Galvanized Steel Enclosure: All interior and exterior enclosure parts are made of 20-gauge electro-galvanized steel with a rustproof black baked enamel finish.
  • Axial Fan Blade: A balanced aluminum axial-flow fan blade mounts directly on the motor shaft, moving air efficiently and giving you long, trouble-free service.
  • Ceiling/Wall Bracket: The included ceiling/wall bracket lets you mount the heater overhead or on a wall, keeping your work floor clear.
  • Quick-Access Panel: A panel on the underside opens up for fast hardwired connection to 208-volt service and easy access for maintenance.
  • Rear Intake Screen: A steel rear screen keeps foreign objects away from the spinning fan blade, which protects the heater during daily operation.
  • Overheat Protection: Automatic overheat protection guards against excessive internal temperatures, which adds a layer of safety when the heater runs unattended.

Choose Your Wattage

The KB Platinum comes in 15,000-watt and 20,000-watt versions, so you can choose based on the size of your space and the capacity of your circuit.

  • 15,000-Watt Model (ki12416): This version produces 51,200 BTU and draws 41.7 amps, while its 925 CFM fan spreads warm air across garages and stores. It measures 15 x 18 x 16.5-Inches (L x W x H) and weighs 50 pounds.
  • 20,000-Watt Model (ki12417): Compared with the 15,000-watt version, this model raises output to 68,300 BTU and airflow to 1,100 CFM for larger warehouses and exposed bays, and it draws 55.6 amps. It measures 18 x 15 x 20.5-Inches (L x W x H) and weighs 55 pounds, so allow for its taller profile when you mount it.

Note: Before you install, confirm that your 3-phase, 208-volt circuit is rated for the amperage of the model you choose.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you manage a warehouse or water treatment site with 208-volt 3-phase service, the KB Platinum protects against freezing without taking up floor space. The features that matter most are the spiral fin elements, which keep heat even across the space. Auto memory restores your last settings after an outage, so you won't have to reset the heater.

Pick your model by space and circuit. The 15,000-watt model suits smaller bays, and the 20,000-watt model handles bigger open areas. Both have the same steel build and controls, so mount it high and let it run all season.
