York S1-4HK16501006 Heat Kit

The York S1-4HK16501006 is a professional-grade 10KW electric heat kit engineered specifically for integration with York air handlers and modular residential systems. As a veteran-preferred OEM HVAC replacement part, this 10kW heater element assembly provides supplemental or primary strip heating for 1-phase electric heat applications. Unlike base models, this kit features an integrated circuit breaker to simplify field wiring and ensure the high-limit protection required for safe operation under heavy thermal loads. Technicians regularly utilize this York heat strip in AHP, SHP, AV, and MA series units to provide responsive 34,121 BTU/hr output. Constructed from high-temp alloy resistant to oxidation, the S1-4HK16501006 ensures consistent heat transfer without the premature "sagging" often seen in aftermarket coils. This kit uses a 6-pin polarized plug for rapid communication with the control board, maintaining proper airflow staging and prevents cycling on the thermal limit switch during high-static conditions.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for 208/230V single-phase York, Luxaire, and Coleman air handlers.
• Integrated Safety: Includes a factory-installed circuit breaker for internal overcurrent protection and easier maintenance access.
• High Thermal Output: Delivers 10,000 Watts of heating power to maintain setpoints in extreme ambient drops.
• Simplified Installation: Features a polarized wiring harness to eliminate phasing errors during field setup.
• Rugged Construction: Heavy-gauge mounting plate and high-grade resistive elements designed for industrial durability.

Is the S1-4HK16501006 compatible with multi-stage air handlers?
Yes, this 10KW heat kit is compatible with various variable-speed and multi-stage York air handlers, provided the cabinet sizing and control board support the 10kW amperage draw. Always check the unit’s nameplate for maximum fuse/breaker sizing.

Does this kit require a separate breaker in the main panel?
While this kit features an integrated breaker for the heating elements, the primary branch circuit at the main distribution panel must still be appropriately sized for the Total Unit Ampacity (TUA) as specified in the service manual.

Can I use this for 208V applications?
Yes, the York S1-4HK16501006 is rated for both 208V and 230V/240V, though total wattage output will be slightly lower (approx. 7.5kW) when operated at 208V.
