K120 Kick Space Heater

Comments about Beacon Morris K120 Kick Space Heater:

Kickspace heater was mounted at floor level in a 40X30 foot basement that had no insulation. It has a separate zone with its own thermostat. The only complaint, which actually was a compliment, was that it heated the basement so well that they had to adjust their thermostat for the main floor. I plan to use many more of these in other homes for zoning specific rooms that are used more so that the heat in the main house can be set lower.

Easy installation, noise in the fan area can be quite annoying. Really pulls the heat from the loop effectively. Save your money on the low temp TCO, it doesn't work. Overpriced.

I waited a month for a Syracuse dealer to get it. When I called Pex I got it in two days. It solved my cold spot problem. Great product. I wish it was just a little quieter though.

Throws off a lot of heat even on low speed. High speed is a little noisy.

Great heater. Just make sure to get all the needed parts. The Monoflow Tee is a must. I would also suggest a ball valve to be placed between the supply and return tee's, which will help bleed the air from the heater.

Very easy to install and works very well. the fan is a little noisy and I had to wire out the built in thermostat to prevent the fan tuning on and off as the boiler cycled.

We live in N. MN. and have about a 1,200 SQ. FT. sized house with 3 levels. Based on the 43 BTU's per sq. ft. of space the Kitchen/dining/living room area (which is open for two floors) was GROSSLY under heated with about 30 ft. of thin-fin. I bought and installed the K-120 and it works GREAT! My office is directly under the heater and I can barely hear it running upstairs above me on low. We will run it on the low fan setting most of the time and only use High when we want a quick heat up, like in the morning after turning down the heat overnight.
I didn not look, but IF the Installation manual is here to view (or maybe Beacon's OEM site?) I would suggest you read it before purchasing. I needed the Directional Tee I mentioned in Accessories and finding one locally was very challenging AND expensive! I should have ordered it with my original order. I know every installation is different so it's hard to draw parallels, but the other suggestion I would make would is to hook this heater up with Shark-bite style connectors, especially if you are working is a tight area. The time I wasted pulling the directional Tee out and re-soldering because I didn't get it clean enough the first time around cost me HOURS in draining the system and fooling around due to one little leak(in the hardest place to get to in the installation process!). I ultimately cut the Tee out, pulled out the offending connection pieces and re-soldered in my shop. Then I installed the Tee between two Shark-Bites and it all slipped together easily.
Research and plan your connection strategy carefully if you are DIY-ing this. I plumbed in shut offs on both pex connection lines so I could isolate the heater later if need be. Pex shut-off are less than ball valves and connectors. AND don't forget the inline Air-bleeder!

Just installed it and boy does it blow plenty of heat. The only thing bad is it is a little loud, especially on the ceiling on the lower level.

Throws a good amount of heat.Easy to install but not very accessible for service.Front grill is not very attractiveI recommend a boiler drain on return line and isolation valves to allow a full purge of air in unit.
