in-bay heater?

[Waxman]

would this work as a supplemental heat source for my IBA bay?

how many BTU's is it rated for? I can't tell from the ad.
This unit is meant to tie into your boiler and is not a self contained space heater that you hook up gas and electric for the fan. The unit shown requires Electric and then a supply and return run from the floor heat plus a t-stat. It would be wise to have it on its own circ pump too.
I think this probably in not what you want, but one of these would work nicely: http://www.radiantheatproducts.com/store/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=251

Think high humidity, chemicals and rust!

Rust was my first concern. Unless you mounted it in an attic space, and used ducts to run the heat into the bay, I'd say no.

I have one about that size in the equip. room to heat them, probably not enough for a bay.

I'm assuming you have boilers, so why not just a fan coil unit. Cheap...easy to replace (after it rusts out) and will help knock down the fog on those cold/dry winter days.

Bigleo:

I'm not sure what you mean by a fan coil unit, or how it is different from what I asked about. Please pardon my ignorance.

I miss your mug on 'Sept.' of my KR Calendar now that it's October. You look like you've cut back on the beer!
