Novatek NovaStrip 378 Infrared Tile Remover N378 – 110V/20A, 378 sq in

Novatek NovaStrip 378 Infrared Tile Remover – Model N378

The Novatek NovaStrip 378 (N378) is the compact, 110V version of Novatek’s infrared tile removal system. It covers 378 sq in — removing up to two 12″ × 12″ tiles per cycle — using infrared radiant heat to soften adhesive bonds without water, dust, or tile fracturing. It runs on a standard 110V/20A grounded outlet, uses the same controller design as the N1026, and features replaceable modular ceramic emitter strips so only worn components need replacement rather than the whole heating assembly.

Where the NovaStrip 378 Performs

Residential remodelers and flooring installers use the N378 for small-to-medium tile removal jobs where bringing a 220V/50A circuit to the work area is impractical. The standard 110V/20A requirement means the unit works from any grounded household or light commercial outlet without electrical modifications. Asbestos abatement contractors use it in confined residential areas — bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens — where the N1026’s larger footprint is unwieldy. The modular ceramic emitter strips are a significant maintenance advantage: when an emitter wears, contractors replace only that strip rather than the entire heating panel, keeping lifecycle costs low.

Replaceable Ceramic Emitter Design

The N378’s modular emitter design is unique: the ceramic heating strips are individual components that slide in and out of the aluminum frame. This means a job-site failure of a single emitter does not take the entire unit out of service — the damaged strip is replaced in minutes. The identical controller shared with the N1026 also means crews operating both units need only one training protocol and can share spare parts for the control electronics. For contractors who own both models, the interchangeable controller simplifies depot maintenance.
