The Bard 8604-049BX is an OEM 6 kW, 240V electric heat strip assembly with a 3 terminal connection layout that is used as an accessory electric heater in compatible Bard wall mount and packaged HVAC equipment to provide dependable supplemental or emergency heat. If you are troubleshooting low or no electric heat, tripped heat limits, or uneven staging, replacing the heat strip with the correct Bard part number helps restore proper airflow temperature rise and safe heater operation. Always confirm the kilowatt rating, voltage, and terminal style match your unit wiring diagram and model requirements before ordering, and have installation performed by a qualified technician due to high voltage and high current operation.
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.
