2.2 ELECTRIC BOOSTER HEATING COILS

2.2.1 Thermolec, Model "SC" , CSA certified electric booster heating coils as per the
drawing schedule, each complete with frame members, terminal boxes and covers,
ductwork flanges and associated sheet metal work are to be constructed of
heavy-gauge die-formed steel with an integral corrosion-resistant coating,
fabricated into the coil shape by spot welding, a corrosion protected and metal
sheathed finned heating element, an automatic reset and an auxiliary manual reset
snap-action high temperature limit control to protect the coils from overheating
from any cause, and a pre-wired control panel for electrical power and control
connections. Open coil elements are not acceptable.
