Locate a desired position on your
ceiling in the area to be warmed.
Heater should be at least 3’ (0.9 m)
away from the nearest wall or other
combustible material.
1
Using the mounting bracket as a
template, line up one of the key slots
at each end of the bracket with one
or two joists and mark the slotted
openings. If you cannot line up the
holes in the bracket with the joists
you will have to use other mounting
methods. See “Mounting Board
Installation.”
4
The mounting bracket may be attached
to a single joist (Fig. 1) or span across
two joists (Fig. 2). Failure to mount
heater to joists can result in injury
and/or fire hazards.
2
Using a 1/8” (3.2 mm) drill bit, drill a hole in the centre of each marked key slot.
Install the two screws provided leaving about 1/4” (6.4 mm) between the head of
the screw and the mounting surface. Slip the mounting bracket over the screw
heads and slide the bracket to engage the screws in the slots. Tighten screws
securely.
5
If you are installing the bracket to an
unfinished ceiling with exposed joists,
proceed to step 4. On a finished ceiling,
the joists are hidden behind the ceiling
dry wall or plaster. You must locate and
mark the location of the centre of the
joists in the mounting area. Joists are
typically 1 1/2” (3.8 cm) wide and 16”
(40.6 cm) or 18” (45.7 cm) apart. They
usually run parallel with the narrow
dimension of the room. A “stud finder,”
available at most hardware stores, may
help in locating the centre of these
hidden joists.
