Infratech W-Series 39-Inch Single Element 240 Volt, 2000 Watt, 8.3 Amp Outdoor Heater in Black - W2024BL

Overall Dimensions: 39 in long, W-shaped body about 3 in deep, per Infratech

The Infratech W2024 is a 39 in single element electric infrared heater, 2,000 W on 240 V, in a black powder coat over 304 stainless steel finish. It is sized for a café table, a grill station or a small seating group, and medium wave quartz infrared warms people and surfaces directly instead of the air, so a breeze does not carry the heat away. The W-Series uses a W-shaped 304 stainless steel body about 3 in deep with a mounting bracket at each end, the Infratech body designed for recessed flush mounting.

Installation Notes

Infratech requires the heater to be permanently installed and hardwired by a licensed electrician to the National Electrical Code and local code. Hold the clearances above, keep cords and drapery at least 3 ft from the front and flammable materials 25 ft away, and mount it level, angled down about 45 degrees for the best spread (30 to 60 degrees on a wall, up to 30 degrees on a ceiling).

Flush mounting uses the Infratech W-39 frame (18-2300) in a flat, non-sloped ceiling framed with at least 2 x 8 joists, inside a five-sided pocket lined with 5/8 in Type X drywall, with the junction box accessible outside the pocket. The heater rests on adjustable L brackets and the surface brackets are not used.

At 8.3 A the W2024 is within the 15 A limit of an Infratech INF input regulator, which pulses the element to vary the heat, or it can run on a simple on/off switch. In New York City, a hardwired outdoor heater is electrical work for a licensed electrician, and terrace or rooftop installs in multifamily buildings often need building or board approval.
