The Smiths Space Saver SS5 is a hydronic plinth heater designed to replace conventional wall-mounted radiators, freeing up essential wall space for additional units or appliances in modern kitchen environments. Engineered for discreet installation within standard kitchen plinths, this 0.7kW brushed steel unit delivers rapid thermal distribution via an integrated heat exchanger and dual-fan system. The low-level output creates efficient air circulation, providing a heat output of 2400 BTU (700 Watts) while operating securely on standard two-pipe pumped central heating systems.

Constructed from durable steel with dimensions of 100mm in height, 498mm in width, and 288mm in depth, the compact chassis fits neatly under base cabinets without compromising structural integrity. The unit features accessible front-mounted rocker switches for straightforward operation, including normal, off, and boost settings, alongside a dedicated fan-only mode for ambient air circulation during warmer periods. This hardwired, earth-grounded system requires standard 15mm flexible hose connections, making it a highly adaptable solution for both domestic kitchens and light commercial applications such as reception areas or changing rooms where spatial efficiency is paramount.
