5. Locate and install the back rigid insulation inside the brick storage module. It will
be placed on top of the existing rigid insulation at the back of the module. The
angled edge will line up with the existing rigid insulation.
6. Load the brick, one row at a time, starting at the back of the brick core and
working forward. Load bricks as shown in Figure 3. Make certain brick debris
does not interfere with brick alignment front to back.
7. Install top air channel block by sliding it up and back into
place on top of the bricks. (See Figure 4.)
NOTE:
For ease of installation, install top block while
loading bricks.
8. Install the front rigid insulation (with holes) in front of the
bricks. Again, the existing angled rigid insulation will line up
with the front angled rigid insulati
on.
NOTE:
The holes in the rigid insulation board MUST line up with the brick
openings so elements can be installed.
BRICK INSTALLATION TIPS:
• Install bricks carefully to avoid damage to the insulation panels.
• Remove loose brick debris to prevent uneven stacking of brick
as this can make installation of the elements and the brick core
temperature sensor(s) difficult.
• Brick rows MUST line up front to back and top to bottom.
HEATING ELEMENT INSTALLATION
Proper heating element installation is important to operation
of the system. Reference the “Useful Tools” section of the
Heating Element Service and Repair Guide included with the
heating elements for more information.
1. After all bricks are loaded and rigid insulation boards
are in place, insert the heating elements through the
insulation, sliding them in until the cement side rails are
flush with the front side of the ceramic brick.
NOTE:
Make sure the elements designated as “outer” elements are installed on the electrical panel
side of the system with the shortest lead in the left most brick position.
2. Route the element termination lead with ceramic
insulator to the appropriate side of the system.
Insert the lead into position as shown in Figure 5.
NOTE:
Element leads must never cross each
other.
3. Install element lead insulators. These ceramic
insulators MUST maintain lead wire spacings as
shown in Figure 6.

WARNING
Risk of fire. Can cause personal
injury or death. DO NOT operate the
ThermElect Hydronic system if damage
to the insulation panels on the inner
sides of the brick core occurs.
WARNING
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE: Risk of electric shock.
Can cause injury or death.
•
DO NOT remove the electrical panel cover
while system is energized.
• Elements MUST be positioned properly to
avoid short circuiting against any surfaces
within the system.
