The MRCOOL Signature Series MHK...P heat strip is an electric element bank on a flat mounting plate that adds backup heat inside a Signature Series package unit. It comes in 5kW, 7.5kW, 10kW, 15kW and 20kW for a 208/230V single-phase supply.
It is a part for Signature package units already installed. MRCOOL's current VersaPro packaged units use the MHK...PB kits instead. Installation is by a licensed electrician or HVAC contractor. This is the Signature Series packaged unit heat strip.

Installation
Professional installation required. This equipment must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician or contractor, following MRCOOL's installation manual and all local electrical and building codes and permit requirements. MRCOOL's limited warranty applies only to units installed that way, and it does not cover installation labor.
For MRCOOL Signature Series package units only; VersaPro packaged units take the MHK...PB kits. Supply is 208/230V, single phase, 60 Hz. Maximum fuse or breaker: 30A (5kW), 50A (7.5kW), 60A (10kW), 60A plus 30A (15kW), 60A plus 60A (20kW). No separate MRCOOL manual is listed for these strips; follow the package unit's installation instructions and wiring diagram.
Shipping, Returns & Warranty
Ships to addresses in the United States only. Shipping cost is calculated at checkout.
Inspect the packaging and the product before you sign. Note any damage or shortage on the delivery receipt, then email photos to support@mycleansupplies.com within 48 hours of delivery so the freight claim can be filed. Damage reported after 48 hours can't be claimed.
MRCOOL handles returns through the store you bought from, so your return comes to us. Unopened, unused MRCOOL equipment can be returned within 21 days of delivery with a return authorization from us. You pay the return shipping, and a restocking fee of up to 20% may be deducted along with payment processing fees. Opened, installed or used equipment and special-order items can't be returned.
MRCOOL's Signature Series equipment warranty lists its package units but not the MHK heat strips, and it excludes unit accessories, so confirm any coverage with MRCOOL before ordering.
Warranty claims. MRCOOL handles warranty claims directly through support.mrcool.com or (270) 366-0457. Some MRCOOL warranties cover the original purchaser only. Systems that aren't DIY need a valid installation invoice to open a claim.
About MRCOOL
MRCOOL designs heating, cooling and water-heating equipment from its home base in Hickory, Kentucky. The range runs from DIY ductless mini-splits, built around MRCOOL's patented pre-charged Quick Connect line sets, through contractor-installed mini-splits, central split systems, packaged units and gas furnaces, to HeatWise water heaters and CoolBlade HVLS fans for warehouses and shops.
MHK heat strips are electric backup heat for earlier MRCOOL ducted equipment: the H strips for Signature Series MAHM split air handlers, the P strips for Signature Series package units, and the U strips for Universal Series MDUI air handlers. MRCOOL's current air handlers and packaged units take different kits (MCAEHFD, UHK and MHK...PB), so these strips are for servicing or adding heat to MRCOOL equipment that is already installed.
