SunStar SGM Millivolt Ceramic Infrared Heater Features

  • No Electrical Power Needed: Millivolt standing pilot operation means the SGM runs with no external power. That makes it the heater for remote locations, pump houses and farm buildings where there is gas but no reliable outlet.
  • Millivolt Ceramic Infrared Heater, 26,000 To 104,000 BTU: Three sizes, each in natural gas or propane: 26,000, 52,000 and 104,000 BTU/hr. Match the size to the bay or work area you need to keep warm.
  • Radiant Heat At Floor Level: Ceramic infrared warms people, floors and equipment directly. SunStar cites fuel savings of 30% to 50% compared with forced air heating.
  • 100% Gas Shut Off Safety: The standing pilot is paired with a 100% gas shut off safety control, and the unit is CSA design certified.
  • Screen Included, Reflectors Optional: A protective radiant screen comes standard. Optional reflector extensions are available to focus heat where it is needed.
  • Aluminized Steel, Ships By UPS: Aluminized steel construction with aluminum reflectors, mountable horizontally or angled up to 30 degrees, and compact enough to ship by UPS.
