OEM Flat Pre-heater for Energylogic 500B without Retrofit: 81012161

This NEW STYLE preheater replaces the old style preheater for the EL500B which is now phased out and no longer being manufactured. All old style EL preheaters are no longer in production. This new style is a direct OEM replacement for part # 14040190 The main advantage of the new design is that the electrical components (heaters and thermostat) are on the outside. This allows them to be easily removed, so the extrusion and cover can be cleaned in a parts washer, the electrical components can be easily replaced if one fails, and the PTC heaters can be changed to allow the preheater to be used on different models.
