. Electrical Rough - In: Remodeling Project

For a remodeling project, complete the electrical rough-in as follows:

• Determine the appropriate location and height for the Electrical Connection Box* (ECB). Con-

sider proximity to other outlet boxes, ease of routing Cold Lead to the Heated Area, and acces-
sibility to a planned heating controller. The cold lead should enter the same wall cavity in which
the ECB is located. Contact your local electrical inspection authority.

• Remove base molding(s), and drywall only as required, in areas where fish holes are to be drilled,

exposing upper edge of sill plate.

• Drill a horizontal !" diameter hole through the sill plate approximately 1"" deep. If installation

is planned for two mats, a second fish hole should be drilled a minimum of 4" from the first, but
within the same cavity (Figure 3e).

• Use a chisel to completely notch wood from the sill plate above each hole. Clear fish holes of

wood chips and install cable guards from the thermostat kit (drywall ledge at top, facing out)
over the holes (Figure 3f).

• Use ECB as template to mark outline on wall. Carefully cut out the minimum possible

amount of drywall to prevent the need for wall repair after heating controller has been
installed (Figure 3g). Install the ECB, adjusting box projection to suit wall covering.

• Install a fish cord through the sill plate, pull through the wall cavity and secure in the ECB. ONE

ADDITIONAL FISH CORD WILL BE REQUIRED IF THE INSTALLATION WILL INCLUDE A
FLOOR TEMPERATURE SENSOR (Figure 3h).

• Fasten “Do Not Remove” tags (from the thermostat kit) to fish cords at the sill plate holes (Fig-

ure 3h).

• Install Power Supply Wiring in the ECB, but do NOT energize or connect to the heating con-

troller. Install conduit, if required (consult with your local electrical inspection authority).

* Typically requires a 15 cubic inch box for single cable installations. Multiple cable sets may require

larger boxes. Consult your local electrical authority
