Description
Protect smaller spaces against cold temperatures with the Dimplex 4ft 160W Tubular Heater with Thermostat. Designed to provide gentle, consistent background heating, this low-wattage electric heater is ideal for areas where traditional room heaters may be unsuitable.
Perfect for greenhouses, garages, sheds, airing cupboards and other enclosed spaces, the Dimplex ECOT4FT combines economical 160W operation with adjustable thermostatic control and a discreet, space-saving design.
Low-Wattage 160W Background Heating
The Dimplex ECOT4FT provides 160 watts of evenly distributed heat, making it an excellent choice for maintaining background warmth in smaller areas.
Unlike conventional electric heaters designed to heat entire rooms quickly, tubular heaters provide gentle, continuous warmth to help reduce the risk of frost damage.
The low-wattage design makes this heater particularly suitable for applications where only a modest amount of heat is required.
Adjustable Thermostat for Temperature Control
The integrated adjustable thermostat allows you to control the heater's operation according to the surrounding temperature.
The convenient rotary control makes it easy to adjust the heating level, helping maintain background warmth while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.
This makes the Dimplex tubular heater particularly useful for frost protection during colder months.
Ideal for Greenhouses, Garages and Sheds
The Dimplex 4ft Tubular Heater is designed for a variety of domestic and light commercial applications.
In greenhouses, it can help provide gentle background warmth during colder weather.
In garages, sheds and workshops, it can help reduce the risk of frost damage to temperature-sensitive items.
It's also suitable for airing cupboards, shop windows and other areas where discreet supplementary heating is required.
IPX4 Splash-Resistant Protection
Featuring an IPX4 rating, the Dimplex ECOT4FT is protected against splashing water.
This makes it suitable for a wider range of locations than standard indoor heaters, provided it is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Wall or Floor Mounting
The Dimplex Tubular Heater features a slim, discreet design that can be mounted on a wall or floor using suitable mounting brackets.
Its compact profile allows it to be positioned in areas where a traditional electric heater would take up too much space.
The reversible cable entry provides additional flexibility during installation.
Automatic Thermal Safety Cut-Out
For additional peace of mind, the ECOT4FT includes an automatic-reset thermal cut-out.
This safety feature is designed to interrupt heating if the appliance overheats, helping protect the heater during operation.
Even Heat Distribution
The tubular heating element distributes warmth evenly across the heater body.
This makes it particularly effective for providing localised background heat rather than concentrating warmth in one small area.
Convenient Plug-In Operation
The Dimplex ECOT4FT comes with a 1.5-metre power cable and fitted plug, making installation straightforward once the heater has been securely mounted.
Its simple rotary thermostat allows convenient adjustment without complicated programming.
Practical Frost Protection for Colder Months
Whether you're protecting plants in a greenhouse, maintaining background warmth in a shed or providing supplementary heating in an airing cupboard, the Dimplex 4ft 160W Tubular Heater offers a practical and economical solution.
With adjustable thermostatic control, splash-resistant construction and a discreet design, it's an excellent choice for areas requiring gentle, reliable background heating.
