The Antarctic Floor Mounted Heater is ideal for boats 35' - 40'. Size of this heater produces greater heat output than the smaller heaters although fuel consumption is the same. This model is round in design and has a large viewing window. In sailboat installations, this unit must face fore or aft, if facing port or starboard is desired, the valve would need to be mounted to the side of the unit so the gravity fed valve wont starve the burner on heels up to 15°.
- Requires 3" diameter chimney parts
- Minimum 4' or maximum 8' of chimney is required, a straight run with no elbows work best
- Chimneys 6' or longer we highly recommend a barometric damper
- Permanent fresh air vent needed in area of the unit
- Creates a dry heat to dry out moisture inside the vessel
- This model has a larger combustion chamber so more heat is produced than the Alaska and Newport heaters
- 12v draft assist fan included (can be converted to 24v and 32v). Used for start up and draft assistance on high fire
- Valve is calibrated for diesel but can be re-calibrated for kerosene or stove oil
