Adjust the side flanges as follows: 
Measure the penetration of the bottom of the wall 
sleeve into the room relative to the finished wall 
surface, and record as “x”. Remove the grille cover 
from the heating subbase by rotating the two ¼ turn 
finger and thumb fasteners until the grille cover 
releases. The total side length of the heating subbase 
(cover removed) plus side channel closure is calculated 
as 7.5 + “x”. Insert the side channels and secure with 
the screws provided, set at the total side length 
calculated. Center the subbase under the wall sleeve 
opening and adjust the levelling feet to the anticipated 
correct height. Final height adjustment can be made 
after the wall sleeve is permanently installed. At that 
point, the flanges of the side channels can be screwed 
to the finished wall from inside the subbase if desired, 
to anchor the entire heating subbase assembly in place. 
The bottom of the wall sleeve will end up overlapping 
the subbase by about 0.875 inches.  
 

               

 

 

Plumbing Connections: 

 
The heating coil is supplied with 5/8” O.D. (actual 
diameter) copper tubing connections. Hot water heating 
typically requires a Normally Open (NO) water valve, and 
steam usually requires a Normally Closed (NC) steam 
valve. The NFWC unit 24 VAC control output to the 
valve is factory set for NC but can be field-converted to 
NO duty as described in Section 

Heating/Cooling Chassis 

Installation. 

Remove the cover plate on the right hand side of the 
heating coil to provide better access to the copper 
connection tubes. Always pipe the valve to the supply 
connection. If the heating medium is hot water, connect 
the valve “outlet” (Supply) to the lower connection and 
the Return water to the upper connection. If the heating 
medium is steam, connect the valve “outlet” (Supply) to 
the upper connection and the Return to the lower 
connection. Route the steam or water source to the valve’s 
“inlet” connection. 

 

Install the piping, valve, and accessories (as specified by 
the design engineer) in the space available under the 
heating coil.       

  

 

ELECTRICAL WIRING AND RECEPTACLE 

 

Wire Sizing 

 
A single outlet branch circuit from the main electrical 
panel to the receptacle in the subbase should be used.  
Wire sizing shall be in accordance with the minimum 
circuit ampacity as declared on the unit Rating Plate for 
the specific chassis. Wire sizing must also take into 
account any distance from fuse box or breaker panel to 
receptacle to prevent excessive voltage drop in 
undersized wires. 
 

IMPORTANT:

 Low voltage to the unit will cause 

compressor starting problems and decrease the 
performance and reliability of the compressor. 

 

Branch Circuit Protection 
 

The Current Rating of branch circuit protection using a 
Time Delay Fuse or HACR circuit breaker should also 
be as declared on the unit Rating Plate for the specific 
chassis being installed. 
 

Plug and Receptacle 

 
All 230-208 Volt units are normally furnished with a 
NEMA 6-20P, 20 Amp non-locking plug, and hence 
will require a NEMA 6-20R receptacle to be installed 
in the heating subbase. 
 
All 115 Volt units are furnished with a NEMA 5-15P, 
or 5-20P non-locking plug as applicable. The 
respective plug will require a NEMA 5-15R or 
combination 5-20R receptacle to be installed in the 
heating subbase.
