Description
Protect your greenhouse, garage, shed or utility space against cold temperatures with the Dimplex 6ft 240W Tubular Heater with Thermostat. Designed to provide gentle, consistent background heating, this low-wattage electric heater is ideal for areas requiring supplementary warmth and localised frost protection.
Featuring an adjustable thermostat, IPX4 splash-resistant construction and automatic thermal safety protection, the Dimplex ECOT6FT offers a practical and efficient heating solution for domestic and light commercial applications.
Low-Wattage 240W Background Heating
The Dimplex ECOT6FT delivers 240 watts of evenly distributed heat, making it suitable for maintaining gentle background warmth in areas where a conventional room heater may be unnecessary.
Rather than rapidly heating an entire room, this tubular heater provides a steady source of localised warmth.
Its low-wattage design makes it particularly useful for frost protection during colder months.
Adjustable Thermostat for Temperature Control
The integrated adjustable thermostat allows you to regulate the heater's operation according to the surrounding temperature.
The convenient rotary control makes it easy to adjust the heating level to suit your requirements.
Thermostatic operation helps avoid unnecessary electricity consumption by regulating when the heating element operates.
Ideal for Greenhouses, Garages and Sheds
The Dimplex 6ft Tubular Heater is suitable for a variety of applications where gentle background heating is required.
In greenhouses, it can help provide supplementary warmth to protect plants against colder temperatures.
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 enclosed spaces requiring discreet supplementary heating.
IPX4 Splash-Resistant Protection
Featuring an IPX4 rating, the Dimplex ECOT6FT is protected against splashing water.
This makes it suitable for a wider range of applications than standard indoor heaters, provided it is installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The splash-resistant construction is particularly useful in environments where occasional moisture may be present.
Flexible Wall or Floor Mounting
The Dimplex ECOT6FT features a slim tubular design that allows discreet installation along walls or close to floor level.
Suitable for wall or floor mounting, the heater can be positioned in areas where larger heating appliances would occupy too much space.
Discreet mounting brackets and reversible cable entry provide additional flexibility during installation.
Automatic Thermal Safety Cut-Out
For additional peace of mind, the heater incorporates an automatic-reset thermal cut-out.
This built-in safety feature is designed to interrupt heating if the appliance overheats, helping protect the unit during operation.
Even Heat Distribution Across the Heater
The tubular heating element distributes warmth evenly along the heater body.
With its extended six-foot design, the ECOT6FT provides low-level heating across a longer area than smaller models in the Dimplex ECOT range.
This makes it particularly suitable for installations requiring background warmth along walls, windows or enclosed spaces.
Convenient Plug-In Operation
The Dimplex ECOT6FT is supplied with a 1.5-metre power cable and fitted three-pin plug.
Once securely mounted according to the manufacturer's instructions, the heater can be connected to a suitable mains socket.
The 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 garage or providing supplementary heating in an airing cupboard, the Dimplex 6ft 240W Tubular Heater offers a practical solution.
Combining adjustable thermostatic control, splash-resistant construction and low-wattage operation, it's an excellent choice for areas requiring gentle background heating.
