how much space do these heaters need behind them, and wear do they draw cold air from? putting one between two studs, sealed top&bot hows that work?

That is what I did. It pulls air in the bottom, heats it and blows it out the top. All the air movement is through the grill on the front.

None and it pulls cold air from the room thru the front vents with the squirrel fan.

The heater comes with adaptors for sheetrock, because of the attachment holes and width of the heater you are not going to hit studs on both sides, it is light enoughthat it does not need that kind of support.

There is a vent in the rear so I would't put it against the wall. I have 2 of these heaters and use both so their is a least a foot of clearance on all sides.

Uhh, its not a heater. The air coming out will not be warmer than the air going in. Its just a fan. Like any fan - box, oscillating, stand or what have you, it simply moves the air in the room around.

I have been very happy with the performance with King heaters. I do not heat a space of this size. Call them and I'm sure they will guide you to the right model for your needs.

There is no fan on the heaters, they work by convection meaning the cold air enters the bottom of the heater and the warm air exits the top. If the heater is sized big enough for the room there won't be a need for a fan. The natural movement of the air will heat the room.

I would recommend you use 2 600W heaters for such a big room that is not insulated at all. These heaters are the safest available ones and this supplier is the only to offer 600W. If I were you I would purchase 3 600W heaters and install them around the room

Per the manual 3 feet of clearance around the top in all directions is required. I would recommend more however since this unit has nearly 50,000btu so it can run HOT! You can warm a 10' x 10' area with just one unit.

i think that you can view a manual online.The unit stays pretty cool all around and on top, but always leave space all around the unit for air circulation to cool unit and prevent a fire should some mishap occur.. i would give it at least 1 foot clearance between back and side wall. Ciao

Hello Amma, What do you mean by "ceiling space?" Is that the vent in the ceiling? For what I understand about how this unit works you'll need a window for the unit to bring in fresh air and expose the hot air.

There are fans in the back that pulls air in over the heat coils blowing air out the front. If you put against the wall it can't breathe and the fans will over heat.

I use it with a two prong space heater, it works just fine. I think they're just covering their butts by printing that in the manual. The product is a VERY good deal and works GREAT for me!

I think in very well might be better to install 2 of them. I have a single level 2400--but has a bonus room above garage--and a very tall attic space. I got 1 and it is only cooling my attic 10 degrees or so in the heat of the afternoon. I may look to buy a 2nd one later on down the road.

I have 10ft ceiling I mounted the heater from 4- 2ft threaded rod That go throught ceiling to angle iron for support> Which makes the heater hang 18in below ceiling 0n the suppourt bracket that came with heater if you want the heater 1 in from ceiling no extra equipment but mounting bolts is needed.With the right Thermostat that has a AC setting only fan will blow \After reading Shurail comments I have never tryed to run fan without heater running. will try later today . have a HUNTER FAN in pole barn for summer fan

Anthony, I'm a bit slow on installing these, I bought 8 fixtures last year and another 2 recently. T8 fixtures are supposed to work well in low temperatures (20 F) so I'm trusting the liturature I read and what I've heard from coworkers enought to buy 10 of these fixtures. Sorry I don't yet have first hand experience.

Best to use a piece of duct to connect them using some clamps or zip ties i find canister to heavy to directly bolt on to the fan and the ducting quiets it down some and you can also move the canister if necessary.
