Caloritech SS2081 is an 8-inch strip heater rated at 120V and 400W, with a stainless-steel sheath. Its listed maximum sheath exposure temperature is 1200°F (649°C). This material and limit distinguish it from the aluminized-steel models in the range, but do not establish the temperature a process will reach or make it suitable for every high-temperature installation.

Before ordering
Confirm the SS2081 electrical rating, stainless sheath and manufacturer mounting drawing for the intended application.

Product questions and answers
Is SS2081 stainless steel or aluminized steel?
SS2081 is listed with a stainless-steel sheath. Do not copy the aluminized-steel material specification from another SS-series model when selecting this heater.
Does SS2081 automatically maintain 1200°F?
No. The figure is the listed maximum sheath exposure temperature. The heater has no integrated adjustable thermostat; process temperature depends on separately selected controls and the installation.
What makes an 8-inch replacement a match for SS2081?
Check the 120V, 400W single-phase rating, stainless sheath, offset #10-32 terminals and complete mounting drawing. Equal length alone does not confirm the electrical, thermal or mechanical requirements.
