 WARNINGS:

 

 

 

Article 427 of the National Electric Code requires that all heaters shall have metal coverings and 
be provided with branch circuit ground-fault protection. 

 
 

 

If nuisance tripping of ground fault breakers occurs due to condensation in the junction box, 
electrical connections should be moisture proofed by use of a coating or sealant.
