York 2HK16502006 Heat Strip Kit

Install the York 2HK16502006 Heat Strip Kit to provide reliable supplemental or primary electric heating in residential and commercial air handlers. This 20kW electric heater kit delivers approximately 68,240 BTU/hr, a critical requirement for maintaining setpoint temperatures when heat pump stages cannot satisfy the load during extreme ambient drops. Designed for 230V single-phase or three-phase electrical configurations, the S1-2HK16502006 features an integrated circuit breaker to simplify field wiring and ensure overcurrent protection directly at the unit. As a genuine HVAC replacement part, it offers precise fitment for York, Coleman, and Luxaire air handlers, including N1AH and F*RP series models. The nichrome heating elements are engineered for rapid thermal response and high-limit safety protection, preventing overheating while maintaining consistent HVAC heating performance. For contractors and technicians, this kit is the standard for York furnace parts and electric heat upgrades.
