5. Bring power supply wiring cable to the back box. Install a cable clamp

and install into the back box, leaving at least 6" (152mm) of cable

inside the back box for connection to the heater lead wires.

NOTE B: Lead holes for a #8 sheet metal screw have been provided in the

sides of the back box. (See Figure 2).

INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX

IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION

1. Determine which side of the back box is to be mounted against a wall stud

or ceiling joist. See Figure 2.

2. Carefully mark and cut a hole in the wall or ceiling measuring 9-1/8"

(231mm) wide by 12-5/8” (320mm) high with one side of the hole along the

edge of a wall stud or ceiling joist. See Figure 3

3. Bring the power supply wiring cable to the heater mounting location, allow-

ing approximately 10" (254mm) length for use in installation.

4. Remove fan deck from back box by removing 2 screws.

5. Remove knockout in the back box, install a cable clamp onto power supply

cable and install the cable into the back box, leaving approximately 6"

(152mm) of cable inside the back box for connection to the heater lead

wires.

6. Fit the back box into the opening by sliding the supply wiring cable into posi-

tion. Back box must be installed with front edge flush with the finished sur-

face. Secure the back box to stud using two nails or screws. (See note B).

The D-Series heaters are designed for recessed installation in 2 x 4 or

larger wall studs or ceiling joists using the model D-BB back box with the

discharge grille (the smaller grille) to the top or bottom (see Figure 1). The

heater may be wired using standard building (60 degrees C minimum)

wire. Refer to the specification chart for appropriate wire size for the

heater to be used.

All units in the D series rated 1000 watts and less may be installed

recessed in the ceiling. If installed in the ceiling the heater may be orient-

ed in any direction.

Heaters are also approved for surface mounting on walls or ceilings.

Refer to instructions for installation of the DSMK Surface Mounting

Frame.

INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX IN NEW

CONSTRUCTION

NOTE A: If the finished wall is already up, follow instructions for “INSTAL-

LATION OF BACK BOX IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION.”

1. Determine which side of the back box is to be mounted against a

stud or ceiling joist. (see Figure 2). Allow for the thickness of the fin-

ished surface when installing the back box. The edge of the back

box must be installed flush with the finished surface. Markings on

the side of the back box for 1/2" or 5/8" finishing wall are provided .

2. Remove fan deck from back box by removing 2 screws.

3. Position the back box on the stud or joist location desired and secure

using two nails or screws as shown in figure 2.

4. Remove one knockout in the back box for entry of supply wiring

cable.

AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE, OR WATER DAMAGE COULD

RESULT IF WIRING OR PIPING IS DAMAGED DURING CUTTING.

MAKE SURE ALL WIRING AND PIPING ARE CLEAR OF AREA

BEFORE CUTTING.

TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR DAMAGE TO

HEATER, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

1. Do not install heater without backbox.

2. Observe the following minimum clearances:

For wall mounting:

Heater to floor - 4.5” (114 mm)

Heater to any adjacent surface - 4.5” (114 mm)

Heater to ceiling - 12” (305 mm)

For ceiling mounting:

Heater to adjacent wall - 12” (305 mm)

3. The heater is hot when in use. Do not install heater behind door,

behind towel rack, in closet, where curtains or drapes could touch or

be damaged by the heat.

4. Keep electrical cords, bedding, furniture, and other combustibles

away from heater.
