The Bard 8604-090BX is an OEM electric heat strip kit rated 8 kW at 240V with a four terminal configuration, used to add or restore supplemental electric heat in compatible Bard wall mount and package HVAC units. This heater assembly is commonly selected when a unit needs reliable cold weather heat or when an existing heat strip has failed due to open elements or damaged terminals. As a genuine Bard replacement part (updated from 8604-090 and also listed as a replacement option for 8604-043), it is built to match the original electrical connections and mounting arrangement specified by Bard so you can return the unit to proper heating operation when installed per the equipment service literature.
Bard uses suffixes like "BX" to manage parts internally. These do not change the physical form or function of the part.
A part number ending in "BX" simply means it is packaged in a box for shipping, rather than for internal assembly use.
Example: 8406-142BX is physically identical to 8406-142.
