Draper Jet Force Propane Space Heater, 50,000 BTU/15 kW

The Draper PSH15C is a high performance 50,000 BTU (15kW) propane space heater designed to deliver fast, powerful heating in open and semi-open environments such as workshops, garages, agricultural buildings, and construction sites. Built around a robust steel burner assembly with a solenoid thermocouple valve and Piezo push-button ignition, it provides reliable, controllable heat output across an area of up to 5,000 cubic feet. Supplied with a 1.5m gas hose and regulator, cable, and approved plug, the PSH15C is ready to connect and use straight away.

Key Features

At the heart of the PSH15C is its high performance steel burner assembly, engineered for efficient and consistent heat output at 15kW. The 300m³/h airflow fan distributes warm air effectively across the working area, bringing large open spaces up to temperature quickly without the prolonged warm-up times associated with lower-output heaters.

Ignition is handled by a manual Piezo push-button system — reliable, straightforward, and requiring no batteries or electrical ignition source. Once lit, the gas supply is regulated by a solenoid thermocouple valve, which provides an important safety function: if the flame is extinguished for any reason, the thermocouple detects the loss of heat and automatically closes the solenoid valve, cutting the gas supply and preventing unburned gas from accumulating in the space. This fail-safe mechanism is an essential safety feature in any gas-fired heater used in an enclosed or semi-enclosed environment.

A thermal overload protection device is fitted to protect the fan motor from damage caused by excessive heat buildup during extended operation, contributing to the longevity and reliability of the unit over its working life. At just 4.9kg and with compact dimensions of 495 x 240 x 325mm, the PSH15C is light enough to reposition easily around a workshop or site as required. Maximum gas consumption of 1.11kg/h means it is efficient enough for practical all-day use without excessive propane consumption.

Specifications

Who Is This Space Heater For?

The PSH15C is designed for anyone who needs to heat a large, draughty, or poorly insulated space quickly and effectively. Workshops, garages, farm buildings, marquees, construction sites, and industrial units are all typical applications where mains heating is absent, inadequate, or impractical, and where a powerful portable propane heater provides the most effective solution. The 5,000 cubic foot heating capacity makes it suitable for substantial spaces — a typical single or double garage, a large workshop, or a commercial unit — where lower-output heaters simply won't shift the cold effectively. It is equally useful as a supplementary heat source during particularly cold periods when existing heating struggles to cope.

Please note: this heater is designed for use in open and semi-open environments only. It must not be used in fully enclosed, unventilated spaces. Always ensure adequate ventilation when operating any gas-fired heater.

Why Choose the Draper PSH15C?

The PSH15C makes a compelling case on safety, output, and portability. The thermocouple solenoid valve and thermal overload protection address the two most important safety considerations in a portable gas heater — unintended gas release and motor burnout — giving confidence during extended use in busy working environments. The 50,000 BTU output is substantial enough to make a meaningful difference in large spaces quickly, and the 300m³/h fan ensures that heat is distributed across the working area rather than pooling in front of the unit. At under 5kg the heater is genuinely portable, and the included hose and regulator mean there are no additional purchases needed before first use. For a reliable, powerful, and safety-conscious propane space heater suited to the demands of a working workshop or garage, the Draper PSH15C delivers.
