This is a replacement element for the Hot Shot HotShot HS18NGRFKIT (18") Heater Kit. The HotShot element itself is approx. 16" tall x 17" wide.  ( Spec Sheet , Installation Instructions )

This is the element only...the power supply and cable kit are sold separately!

The HotShot heating element has an automatic thermostat that turns on just above freezing temperatures and off when the dish surface heats up. The HotShot heating element is an exclusive patented invention that has been offered for over 13 years and is used by many thousands of dish owners in snowy climates to aid reception when the weather gets testy. It is designed to fit dishes that are 18” x 20” or slightly larger. This is a low-voltage device and should be powered by our older 18 volt power supplies or our newer HSPS24AC7AMP-S low voltage power supply.This power supply provides 24 volts of AC power to the heater and that voltage should NOT be exceeded. · Durable vinyl plastic material lasts a long time · Low voltage design · Dependable snap-action bimetallic thermostat · 3M self-stick adhesive assures a tight bond to the antenna

Fits most 18" - 24" dish antennas!

The Hot Shot brand of satellite dish antenna heaters and heating systems have been around a long, long time.  The first heaters went on the back of the dish during assembly, but the new models are built to just stick on the front of the dish, making post-installation installations simple and easy.

The Hot Shot is preferred by professional installers for residential and commercial installations to provide reliable and dependable satellite television service even in the worst of conditions.  The Hot Shot will keep snow and ice from collecting on the dish, and optional arm and feed horn elements can be added on to the existing Hot Shot face element to prevent snow and ice buildup on the arm and feed horn of the dish as well if necessary!

The Hot Shot element is powered by 24v DC, so you can actually use a spare coaxial cable run to the dish to power the heating element.  When we install the Hot Shots, we usually solder and shrink-wrap a 6" chunk or so of the included low voltage cord onto the coaxial cable center conductor and shielding on each end to enable us to connect the cable to the transformer and to the element.  This prevents having another wire running up to or out to your dish, and allows us to mount the transformer in a utility room, garage, etc. or wherever the spare coaxial cable is hanging!
