Product Construction - Towel Warmer
The Towel Warmer is constructed from High Carbon Steel, using
tubing with a wall thickness of between 0.8 mm and 1
.2 mm.
The steel tubing is brazed together with full, continuous joints.
The fi nished assembly is either electroplated or powder coated,
depending on the model and style. The Towel Warmer is heated
by a UL listed wire. The mounting brackets are manufactured from
steel and coated to match the fi nish of the specifi c model.
Product Construction - Control
The Timer is humidity sealed to IEC standards for zone 1
(areas
where it may be splashed by water) and zone 2 (areas which are
occasionally subject to high humidity) and therefore suitable for
installation in damp locations such as bathrooms.
Connection Method
The heating wire is connected to a UL 1
4
AWG, non-heated lead
by a UL listed mechanical crimp connection, sealed with a heat
shrink tube. Electricity is fed into the Towel Warmer via a threaded
adjustable nipple. The nipple is adjusted so that it fi ts securely to
the front of 2”x4
” electrical junction box. This box is secured in the
wall and a water resistant seal is made with the use of a rubber
O-ring. Power can then be fed to the control unit which may be
located anywhere in the room.
Safety Ratings
The main electrical line feeding the Towel Warmer must incorporate
an Appliance Leakage Current Interrupter (ALCI) for North
America.
