UCI Series Unit Heater
UCI Series Unit Heater Overview
ZIRCO distributes INDEECO UCI Series Unit Heaters as the official Canada representative. These heavy-duty unit heaters are engineered for demanding industrial and commercial applications, providing reliable heating performance with capacities up to 60 kW at 2,000 CFM airflow. The UCI Series delivers consistent warmth for large spaces such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, workshops, and commercial facilities.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the UCI Series offers a wide range of factory built-in or field-installed control options to meet specific job specifications. The single point electrical hook-up simplifies installation—heater, fan motor, and controls are all connected to the same branch circuit with easy access through the side-mounted control compartment.
The UCI heater can be mounted horizontally using the supplied brackets or vertically using four threaded rods (not included). Units under 40 kW come with wall and ceiling brackets, while 40-60 kW models include four corner support brackets for ceiling mounting. The blow-through fan design reduces motor operating temperature for extended service life in demanding Western Canada industrial environments.
