CERTAIN FABRICS DISCOLOR IN TIME FROM INDIRECT SUNLIGHT AND
NORMAL ROOM TEMPERATURE - MOSTLY ORGANIC AND SYNTHETIC
MATERIAL. THEY WILL DISCOLOR MORE RAPIDLY WHEN EXPOSED TO
DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND WARM CURRENTS. HANG DRAPES TO PROVIDE
MINIMUM OF 2 INCHES (51mm) AIR SPACE BETWEEN HEATER FRONT
AND NEAREST DRAPE FOLD AS SHOWN IN EXAMPLE 1, FIGURE 1, OR 6
INCHES (152mm) AIR SPACE BETWEEN TOP OF HEATER AND BOTTOM OF
DRAPES AS SHOWN IN EXAMPLE 2, FIGURE 1. ALLOW MINIMUM CLEAR-
ANCE OF 1 INCH (25mm) FROM DRAPES TO CEILING AND TO TOP OF
FLOOR COVERING TO PERMIT AIR CIRCULATION.
CLEARANCES
FLOORS & CARPETING:
HEATERS MAY BE MOUNTED DIRECTLY ON ANY
FLOOR SURFACE, INCLUDING CARPETING. WHERE WALL-TO-WALL CAR-
PETS ARE INSTALLED AFTER THE BASEBOARD INSTALLATION, THE CARPET-
ING CAN BE RUN UP TO THE FRONT AND AROUND THE HEATER BODY.
FULL LENGTH DRAPES:
FOR THE MOST SATISFACTORY OPERATION OF
HEATERS, THE FOLLOWING CLEARANCES MUST BE MAINTAINED:
1.
HANG DRAPES SO THAT, IN USE, THEY EXTEND BELOW THE CENTER
LINE OF THE HEATER, BUT WITH AT LEAST 1” (25mm) CLEARANCE FROM
THE TOP OF THE FINISHED FLOOR COVERING, SUCH AS CARPET, TILE,
ETC.
2. HANG DRAPES SO THERE IS AT LEAST 2” (51mm) BETWEEN THE
EXTREME FRONT OF THE HEATER AND THE NEAREST FOLD OF DRAPES,
IN THE FOLDED BACK POSITION (OPEN DRAPE POSITION).
3. HANG DRAPES SO THERE IS AT LEAST 1” (25mm) BETWEEN THE TOP OF
THE DRAPES AND THE CEILING.
SHORT DRAPES:
HANG DRAPES SO THERE IS AT LEAST 6” (152mm) CLEAR-
ANCE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE HEATER.
FURNITURE:
DO NOT PLACE FURNITURE AGAINST HEATER. IT IS RECOM-
MENDED ALL ITEMS BE KEPT A MINIMUM OF 6” (152mm) INCHES FROM
HEATER.
INSTALLATION OF SINGLE UNIT
Liquid filled baseboard heaters are designed for installation in new or existing con-
struction. In existing construction, baseboard molding should be removed and the
heaters mounted flush against the wall surface. When replacing molding allow 1/16”
(1 mm) clearance between molding and ends of heaters.
NOTE: This heater can be wired in either the right or left hand junction box.

Figure 1. Positioning Drapery Near Heater
1.
Position the heater at the desired location on the wall as shown in Figure 2. For
maximum heating comfort, position the heater under a window.
2.
Mark the location on the wall or floor for the power supply entry into the heater.
Remove the heater from the wall and drill appropriate hole in the wall or floor.
3.
Remove the left or right junction box end cap by removing the screw in the end of
the heater and sliding the cap outward from the heater (Figure 3).
4.
Remove the front cover of the heater by removing the screws in the lower corners.
Pull the bottom of the cover outward and lift the top of the cover off the junction
box. Repeat for the opposite end. Snap the top of the cover off the center bracket
and off the intermediate supports. See Figure 4.
5.
Remove the appropriate electrical knockout from the back of the heater or acces-
sory if necessary. Supply wiring may also enter the raceway through the floor or
wall without using a knockout.
