Supply Items Included in Federal Supply Class 4520
- What is a Space Heater? 62 Items
- A Space Heater (HEATER,SPACE) is a device designed to burn various types of fuel within an inclosure which protects and confines the fire. It is used for the purpose of raising the temperature of the air in its immediate vicinity. The inclosure may be vented. Excludes HEATER, DUCT TYPE, PORTABLE and HEATER, SPACE, ELECTRIC.
- What is an Electric Space Heater? 138 Items
- An Electric Space Heater (HEATER,SPACE,ELECTRIC) is a device having a heating element which when connected to an electrical source, directly imparts heat. Circulation of the heated air may be achieved by an integral blower or fan. For space heaters other than electric, see HEATER, SPACE.
- What is a Heating Radiator? 20 Items
- A Heating Radiator (RADIATOR,HEATING) is a heat transferring unit designed to transfer heat to surrounding air by radiation. The unit is exposed directly to the space served and it is generally connected to some type of heat generating unit, such as a steam or hot water heating boiler, but may have an integral gas or electric heating unit. Excludes HEATER, CONVECTION, STEAM-HOT WATER.
- What is a Heating Radiator Valve? 34 Items
- A Heating Radiator Valve (VALVE,RADIATOR,HEATING) is a valve specifically designed for installation in the supply line of a heating radiator. It has a female inlet and a ground joint union nut with a male iron pipe threaded tailpiece outlet.
- What is a Steam Air Venting Valve? 10 Items
- A Steam Air Venting Valve (VALVE,AIR VENTING,STEAM) is an automatic valve designed to relieve, automatically, accumulated air in various types of steam heating systems.
- What is a Hot Water Storage Tank? 14 Items
- A Hot Water Storage Tank (TANK,HOT WATER STORAGE) is an item formed of metal, cylindrical in shape, with openings for pipe connections. Its primary purpose is to store heated water for distribution to various desired outlets.
- What is a Duct Type Ventilation Heater? 15 Items
- A Duct Type Ventilation Heater (HEATER,VENTILATION,DUCT TYPE) is a heat transferring unit utilizing a separate source of steam or hot water as the heat transfer medium. It consists of finned parallel tubes joined together by a header or headers and is designed for installation in the ducts of a forced air circulating system. It may be provided with a flanged outer casing to facilitate mounting of the unit in planned or existing duct work. Circulation of the heated air is achieved by use of a blower or fan not integral with the heating unit.
- What is an Immersion Type Electrical Heating Element? 12 Items
- An Immersion Type Electrical Heating Element (HEATING ELEMENT,ELECTRICAL,IMMERSION TYPE) is an electrical device in the form of a resistor consisting of a resistance wire, an insulating material, and a sheath.
