  • HSB – Top & Bottom Connections
  • HC – Side Connections
  • 13 Model Sizes: 18, 24, 33, 47, 63, 86, 108, 121, 165, 193, 258, 290, and 340 MBH

Highlighted Features

Quiet, Clean Hydronic Operation

Using hot water or steam from an existing hydronic system, the unit delivers silent, draft-reduced heat without burners or emissions—perfect for comfort-sensitive or enclosed environments.

Efficient Horizontal Heat Delivery

The HSB/HC’s horizontal discharge design pushes warm air across the space for even heating throughout workshops, warehouses, mechanical rooms, and garages—ideal for applications needing broad, directional heat.

Durable, Versatile Construction

With a rugged steel cabinet and corrosion-resistant core components, the HSB/HC is engineered for long service life. Multiple mounting options and accessible piping connections make installation straightforward in virtually any horizontal application.

Product Details & Specifications

Key Features
  • Horizontal airflow orientation for effective long-reach heat delivery
  • Flexible piping configurations: top/bottom (HSB) or side-inlet/outlet (HC)

Applications

The HSB/HC series is designed for long heat throw and uniform heat delivery. Ideal for heating buildings with large open areas and low ceilings, and for counteracting heat loss through exterior walls, especially where windows are present.

Common applications include:

  • Warehouses, distribution centers, and service bays
  • Facility workrooms, equipment rooms, and corridors
  • Light-industrial buildings with existing boiler/hydronic systems
