 nOTe:

 it is only necessary to remove the knockout(s)

that will feed the power supply wiring, keeping in mind 

the heater mounting location and supply wire location in 

the wall.

Secure a pedestal to each end of the heater bottom with 

4. 

#8 screws provided, aligning the back and front edges of 

the pad with the heater.  This will align the supply entry 

knockout with opening in the pedestal pad.

!

 nOTe: 

Units longer than 4 feet will be provided with 3 

or more pedestals.  The extra pedestals should be used 

to support the middle of the heater.

place heater on the pedestal base(s) and tighten all 

5. 

screws.

!

 nOTe: 

The height of the heater can be adjusted on 

the pedestal to aid in leveling the heater by loosening 

the securing bolt at the side of the pedestal.

!

 nOTe:

 Bottom air inlet heaters must be mounted a

minimum of 2” from finished floor.

Remove the terminal box cover and proceed to wiring

 nOTe: 

supply wire entry is commonly made into one 

heater.  Through wiring (factory furnished) can be used 

for connection to adjacent heaters.

 nOTe: 

sample wiring diagrams are provided beside.

Wrap the supply ground wire around the green painted

ground screw & tighten.

!

 nOTe: 

When heaters are mounted end to end, remove

the finished end plate, install a chase nipple and locknut 

in the terminal box to ensure grounding continuity and to 

protect the wiring.

Where headers are spaced apart, remove the finishing 

end plate, and use rigid conduit (provided by customer) for 

through wiring and ground continuity.  Do not exceed the 

allowable number of conductors allowed by the National 

Electric Code.
