Caloritech SS1361 120V 500W 23.5-Inch Strip Heater
Caloritech SS1361 is a 23.5-inch strip heater rated at 500W on 120V. Compared with the shorter 17.75-inch SS1261, it retains the listed voltage and wattage but changes the physical length. That difference matters when selecting an element for an existing platen, enclosure or other designed heating assembly.
Specifications and included details
- 120V, 500W electrical rating and 1706 BTU/hour listed heat output.
- 23.5-inch length with an aluminized-steel sheath.
- Two offset bolt-type terminals.
- Temperature management uses separately selected external control equipment.
Before ordering
Match the SS1361 length and manufacturer mounting drawing with the available installation space. Confirm the circuit, terminal clearance and control-system requirements with a qualified installer. Do not assume a referenced CPA or CPB panel is included or that a heater with the same watts will have the same contact pattern.
Product questions and answers
Can SS1361 replace a 17.75-inch, 120V, 500W strip?
Only if the equipment design permits the different geometry. SS1361 is 23.5 inches long; voltage and power matching do not confirm mounting fit or terminal clearance.
Does 1706 BTU/hour specify how quickly the equipment heats up?
No. It is a listed heat-output rate. Warm-up time depends on the heated mass, contact, heat loss and controls, none of which is determined by that figure alone.
Are factory-customized dimensions part of this SS1361 listing?
This listing is for the named 23.5-inch, 120V, 500W model. A general reference to factory customization does not change the specifications of the item being ordered.
