A:Â Yes, you can install this kick space heater in the vertical position. In fact, when it is installed in the optional wall kit, The KSWK it would be mounted in a vertical position. However, I would not install it in a floor as the grill is not built to be walked on. For a floor application I would use the FL100 floor unit.

Answer This Question
A:Â I am sorry but I am not sure I understand your question. This unit is used in a forced hot water heating system where hot water from a boiler is pumped through pipes. It would not be used in a forced hot air heating system where air heated in furnace is sent through duct work to the different rooms.

Q:Can I use this with a tankless heater? I don't have a boiler.

1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: Water heaters heat potable water. Drinking water is regulated by very stringent rules. This product is used almost exclusively on closed loop heating systems which use the same water over and over; not drinking water. As a result the manufacturer decided to give up the certification needed for approved use with potable water a few years back. It just got very expensive for an application that was so infrequent. So No you can’t use it as it lacks the appropriate certification. Why is it not used with potable water? Because potable water is only heater to 120 fahrenheight. At that temperature the heat output would be in the 1500-2000 BTU range which is very small. In closed loop heating systems the water temperatures are much higher. Typically 180 Fahrenheight.

Quiet, compact and efficient. This heater is easy to install, too.
This unit is an exact replacement for an under-the-stair heater over 20 years old. The old one was sold under the VRV Products name. This new one is Smith’s Environmental. Same unit, though.
This product is heavily made. No frills, but no shortcuts, either. The older one lasted 20 or more years. They look identical, so the new one ought to last as well. There’s a handy hi/lo fan switch, but I just leave it on high all the time. It pulls air in from the top and blows heated air out the front. The fan runs quietly and automatically. When your boiler sends hot water to this unit, the fan turns on. If there’s no hot water present, the fan goes off. Simple.
There are no instructions to speak of. Plumbing is easy – two ½ inch copper pipes. They tell you which pipe is the inlet (lower) and which is the outlet (upper). I soldered on copper fittings and used unions to connect to the heating system. You can use PEX, as well, which may be easier. There’s an easy-to-reach bleeder valve for getting air out of the heater after installation. Electric is simple – black wire, white wire and a ground lug. You will need two wire nuts and a standard 3/8 inch through-hole clamp, not supplied with the unit.
It took me about an hour to remove the old heater and install this unit. It worked right away and is heating the space now. I am pleased with this purchase, would recommend it, and happy to have found it at Home Depot.

Installed this a few days ago and so far it meets or exceeds my expectations because:
1. It's a little quieter than I expected.
2. The thermal switch turns the fan on at about the right time and also shuts off about when I'd want it to. (doesn't run excessively long)
