The Bard 8604-100BX heat strip is an OEM 6 kW, 480V electric resistance heater assembly with a 3 terminal connection, used to add or restore supplemental heat in compatible Bard wall mount and packaged HVAC systems. This component installs in the factory heater section to provide dependable electric heat when outdoor conditions reduce heat pump capacity or when straight electric heat is required, helping maintain stable supply air temperature and proper unit operation. Because voltage, kW capacity, and terminal configuration must match the original design, confirm your unit model and heater kit requirements before ordering; this part is also commonly listed as a direct replacement for Bard 8604-100.
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.
