Non-Standard Espar Heater Install Tips for your Van Conversion

Описание: In the 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter I’m building I’ve decided to use an Espar S2 D2L heater. This is a short video covering some installation tips I haven’t seen other people mention like heater location, reducing the sound with Propex acoustic ducting and mounting the heater in an external box.

These two have different sizes and access options so choose the one that better works for you.

Silicone Elbow: I NO LONGER RECOMMEND THIS PART...OR MAYBE I JUST GOT A KNOCK OFF. The Part Number is Propex 811E. The one in the video did great, but the last one I got melted which is odd given the temperature it was and that it is supposed to be made of silicone. Anyways, I'd recommend a SS option like: https://www.heatso.com/espar-eberspac...
