Hot Box Detector Heater

The Thermal-Flex hot box detector heater is designed for snow and ice removal in and around the detector area. The hairpin heating element design simplifies installation by bringing both lead wires out to a central point for termination while our mounting hardware ensures the element is properly positioned to maximize snow melt. Alternately, our single ended heating element design can be mounted to the stock rail and fixed in place with our thermally insulated aluminum covers and rail clips.
