•
Verify power has been turned off before starting any work!
• The
Com-Pak model CS
can be mounted with the element up, or with the element on the left.
For ceiling installation, see page 5. For multiple heater wiring, see page 6.
• The
Com-Pak Twin model CST
can only be mounted with the elements up. It cannot be mounted
in the ceiling.
•
For cleaner performance and longer heater life, install your heater 12 inches from the floor.
• All models can be installed to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. Check your
state and local requirements.
• A thermostat is required for models that do not come with a built-in thermostat. An electronic wall
thermostat is recommended for ultimate comfort and energy savings.
• The wall can label arrows show the correct mounting orientation (arrows must point up).
If you haven’t installed drywall yet, make sure the front of the wall can extends beyond the front edge
of the wall stud to match the drywall depth (Figure 3).
If you already have drywall installed, place the can into the cutout so the front is flush with the drywall.
Fasten the wall can to the stud with either 2 screws (Model CS) or 4 screws (Model CST) (not
included), through holes provided in the wall can (Figure 3). As an option on model CS, the foam pad
provided may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 3).

STEP 2
Locate or route electrical supply wires
If you’re wiring a wall thermostat, route the electrical supply wire from the circuit breaker to the wall
thermostat, and then to the heater location. If your heater has a built-in thermostat, route the electrical
supply wire from the circuit breaker directly to the heater location.
Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the supply wire with a cable clamp connector (not
included) leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead (See Figure 3).
