These things are basically living in a war zone of steam and humidity. Now, we could just point to an IP rating on a spec sheet and call it a day. But anyone who&rsquo;s actually been on a job site knows that a piece of paper doesn&rsquo;t stop a heater from shorting out in six months. That&rsquo;s why we run &ldquo;damp-heat aging tests.&rdquo; In plain English? We try to break them.</p>
