Dan,
We had an unexpected illness in the family and I just got back from out of state.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
I had mentioned that when I was in Medical Lake, WA that I'd look up the fellow
that's rebuilding & selling the Cat Platinum heaters. Well, I got in late last
Friday and first thing on Sat. morning I had to drive to Oregon because of a family
member's illness. So, ............. sorry to say I didn't have time to look him up.
My Cat Platinum Plus manual states that there are two sizes. Model 6P12A is rated at
6,000 BTU & up to 175 square feet and model 3P12A is rated at 3,000 BTU & up to 100
square feet. . They both have less than 1/2 amp current draw and are controlled by a
thermostat.
They were manufactured by Thermal Systems, Inc. , 2757 29th St. SW, Tumwater, WA
98512. Phone (360) 352-0539 as per the manual.
I love mine. Hope this helps.
Pat
