    No, but they look similar to the kick space units that you might find under kitchen cabinets. Fan assisted hot water coil. I have had good success with Beacon Morris products. I believe you will be pleased with the product if that is the best choice for the space that needs to be heated.

    I have used line voltage thermostats to operate the fan to keep room from overheating. I have also tied them in to branch circuits where old cast iron radiators were removed. Not as effective because the reduced GPM. Most of the time I use a dedicated circulator for the individual loop with as many as 3 units on the loop. As long as you don't have more than 15,000 BTUs on a 1/2" zone or 40,000 BTUs on a 3/4" zone.

    Every case is different

    The Vector will accumulate a lot more dirt!

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Why do you ask? Are you having problems with one? or are you considering installing one?

    I am considering using them to replace an oversized furnace which has a poorly designed duct system. I want to use an in- floor solution.
