Wiring Provisions / Wiring
This heater is designed for permanent installation.
A maximum of No. 10 AWG wire (not included) may
be used. All wiring should be planned and run before
heaters are set in place. Left end wiring is sold stan-
dard. (See Figure 2 for internal heater wiring). The
volume of the EBHN wiring compartment is 31.4 cubic
inches (515 cubic centimeters).
When wiring unit through rear, remove knockout and
place heater on wall. Mark knockout location on wall.
When wiring unit from floor, measure 1½ inches
(38mm) from wall and 2¼ inches (57mm) from left
end of unit. Cut a ⅞ inch (22mm) hole in floor cen
-
tered on the measured location (See Figure 3).
Connect the grounding lead to the green grounding
screw (included), using a wire connector (not
included). (See Figure 2).
Protect electrical supply from kinks, sharp objects, oil,
grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.

3. Remove wiring compartment cover, held by one
screw. (Figure 5).
4. Remove slotted knockout closest to the supply
wires and install a strain relief connector (not
included).
5. Pull supply wires through the strain relief connector
(not included) and secure, leaving 6 inch wire leads.
6. NOTE: If you plan to install a built-in EBKN
thermostat, you should do so now before mounting
your baseboard to the wall. See your EBKN
thermostat Owner’s Guide for instructions.
7. Position the heater and fasten one end of heater
to wall stud with screw (not included) in safe drill area
as shown in Figure 6. Before fastening to wall stud
at other end, place a level across top of heater and
make sure heater is level. (Figure 7).
8. After confirming heater is level, fasten other end of
heater to wall stud with screw (not included).
