PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS (See Figure 3):
• Wall can must be mounted in a level, horizontal position;
• Required minimum distance from bottom of wall can to floor for
an 8 foot ceiling is 72 inches, maximum 78 inches;
• Required minimum distance from bottom of wall can to floor for
a 9 foot or greater ceiling is 72 inches, maximum 90 inches;
• Top of wall can must be installed a minimum of 10 inches away
from ceiling, and a minimum of 6 inches away from adjacent
walls;
• For ceilings greater than 9 feet, a ceiling fan with a cooling
thermostat is recommended for optimum performance.
• Wall can face must be flush with sheetrock.
• Where ceiling sprinklers are present, the Apex72 needs a
minimum clearance of 4 feet from sprinkler heads.
Route Supply Wires
STEP 1
Route supply wire from the circuit breaker, to the thermostat, then
to the stud cavity where the heater/wall can will be located.
Mount the Orient Ring
STEP 2
For new construction, position orient ring horizontally on studs,
with label facing you, and attach to both studs with two wood
screws (not included) on each side (See Figure 1). Use a level to
ensure proper alignment. The 90 degree lip on the inside of the
orient ring cutout should butt up to a wall stud on the left side, or
if rotated 180 degrees, on the right side (See Figure 2). Proceed
with drywall installation.
Cut Sheetrock and Mount The Wall Can
STEP 3
Using a sheetrock saw (not included) and the installed orient ring
or template on page 6, cut sheetrock 10 inches wide by 7⅞ inches
tall and secure supply wires prior to mounting wall can. The orient
ring or template can also be used to cut a properly sized hole if
installing in an existing wall.
Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the supply wire
with a strain relief connector (not included) leaving a minimum of
6 inches wire lead. Connect supply ground wire to grounding screw in wall can with a wire connec-
tor (not included). (See Figure 4).
Mount the wall can securely to stud with 2 screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall can (See Figure 4).
Install Heater Assembly
STEP 4
Orient the heater so the red reset button is positioned on the bottom and the heating element is on the left (See Figure 5). The heating
element will be covered by the metal outlet grill. Connect the supply wires to the heater with insulated wire connectors (not included).
Install the heater into the D-shaped tabs and secure with screw provided on left hand side. The right hand side of the assembly can be
adjusted to provide leveling of the heater and decorative cover.
Note: Warranty is void if any material is sprayed on the element or blower. Use a paint mask to cover any exposed areas of the heater if walls are to be textured or painted.
Install Metal Outlet Grill
STEP 5
Install metal outlet grill from decorative cover kit onto heater assembly: Slide the two tabs on the left side of the outlet grill under the two
slots on the left side of the heater assembly. Then insert the small tabs at the top and bottom of the outlet grill into place. Attach with ⅜"
#6 black screw provided in decorative cover kit. (See instructions in decorative cover kit).
Install Decorative Cover
STEP 6
The decorative cover is held in place with permanent magnets. If desired, the cover can be further secured with two ½" #8 retention
screws provided in decorative cover kit. Attach retention screws at top and bottom of decorative cover only after the outlet grill has been
installed on the heater assembly and attached with the ⅜" #6 black screw.
Turn power on at the main disconnect panel.
