Up for sale is a classic, heavy-duty Reddy Heater commercial-grade forced-air torpedo space heater. This is a massive 100,000 BTU industrial workhorse manufactured by DESA International back when shop tools were built out of thick, heavy steel to last a lifetime. If you are looking to defeat the winter chill and get some serious DIY projects, woodworking, or automotive wrenching done in a large garage, workshop, or barn, this is the exact setup you need to blast instant heat.
Technical Specifications (Direct from Factory Data Plates):
• Manufacturer: DESA International (Bowling Green, KY)
• Model Number: R100A
• Heating Capacity: 100,000 BTU / Hour (Massive heat output)
• Fuel Tank Capacity: Large 9.0 Gallon Tank (Allows for long, continuous run-times without constant refilling)
• Pump Pressure: Factory calibrated at 4.0 P.S.I.
• Electrical Requirements: Standard 120V AC / 60Hz grounded power cord (Draws 5.0 Amps / 15 Amp line fusing)
• Approved Fuels: Rated to run on Kerosene or No. 1 Fuel Oil
• Portability: Heavy-duty integrated steel push/pull handle and rugged rubberized terrain wheels for easy rolling around a messy shop floor.
Condition & Mechanic's Maintenance Notes:
• Cosmetic: The unit is covered in normal garage dust, dirt, and minor grease splashes from being stored in a workspace, but underneath the dust, it is structurally rock-solid. All original factory safety warning labels, wiring diagrams, and high-visibility red "Reddy Heater 100,000 BTU" branding graphics are clean, legible, and completely intact.
• Mechanical Status: The unit was mechanically checked over yesterday and runs fine. However, the fuel currently sitting inside the 9-gallon tank is old and stale. It will absolutely need to be drained out, flushed, and filled with fresh fuel. It will likely require minor routine maintenance (like cleaning the fuel nozzle or blowing out the air intake filters as detailed on the maintenance plate) to clear out any old storage residue and make it fully reliable for daily winter use. Sold as-is, priced low to reflect the needed fuel flush.
Price: $75 Or Best Offer (Cash only, local pickup)
Location: Local pickup in the Lake Arrowhead mountain area (Listing under the Craigslist Inland Empire region).
