Linear 2500-174 125W 120V Heater Strip for Gate Operator Enclosures
The Linear 2500-174 is a 125W, 120V heater strip for select Linear / OSCO gate operator enclosures. Heater strips are used to help maintain a more stable internal cabinet environment in cold or damp conditions. They can help reduce condensation and temperature-related service issues around controls, limit components, and mechanical areas when installed in an operator designed to accept that heater.
This part is voltage-specific. The 2500-174 is the 120V heater strip, while similar listings may reference 230V heater strips under different part numbers. The replacement should match the original heater label and operator wiring diagram, not just the wattage.

Technician Note
A heater strip should not be used to mask water intrusion. If the enclosure has standing water, failed seals, blocked drains, or damaged conduit entries, correct those issues before relying on the heater.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Verify the existing heater part number is 2500-174
- Confirm the operator heater circuit is 120V
- Check wattage and mounting style
- Inspect wiring, terminals, enclosure seals, and drain paths
- Use a qualified technician for high-voltage wiring or damaged electrical components
Professional Advisory
Commercial gate operator service parts should be installed with power safely disconnected and the operator secured against movement. For high-voltage wiring, moving gate hazards, or uncertain field conditions, use a qualified gate technician.
Important Ordering Warnings
Do not install a 120V heater strip on a 230V circuit or substitute a different heater without checking the wiring diagram. Incorrect voltage can create equipment damage or a safety hazard.
