Complete Hardware Loadout: Provided with a full assortment of ceramic bushings and insulators to handle most mounting requirements in one trip. Common Questions Can this kit be used in 208V applications? While compatible, the wattage output will be reduced to approximately 3750W. For full 5000W performance, a dedicated 240V circuit is required. Does the coil come pre-cut to a specific length? No, the MARS 34601 features a close-wound coil designed to be stretched to the specific length of the heater frame you are servicing. What is the purpose of the different ceramic bushings? The kit includes both .375 and .450 inch bushings in standard and extra-long lengths to accommodate varying sheet metal thicknesses and hole diameters in the heater rack.
