INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Min.

•

Verify power has been turned off before starting any work!

• The Com-Pak model CS can be mounted with the element up, or with the element on the left.

For ceiling installation, see page 5. For multiple heater wiring, see page 6.

• The Com-Pak Twin model CST can only be mounted with the elements up. It cannot be mounted

in the ceiling.

• For cleaner performance and longer heater life, install your heater 12 inches from the ﬂoor.

• All models can be installed to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. Check your

state and local requirements.

• A thermostat is required for models that do not come with a built-in thermostat. An electronic wall

thermostat is recommended for ultimate comfort and energy savings.

• The wall can label arrows show the correct mounting orientation (arrows must point up).

STEP 1

Cut a hole in the wall next to a wall stud

If you haven't installed drywall yet, skip this step.

Locate or route electrical supply wires

STEP 2

If you're wiring a wall thermostat, route the electrical supply wire from the circuit breaker to the wall

thermostat, and then to the heater location. If your heater has a built-in thermostat, route the electrical

supply wire from the circuit breaker directly to the heater location.

Remove a knockout from the wall can and attach the supply wire with a cable clamp connector (not

included) leaving a minimum of 6 inches wire lead (See Figure 3).

STEP 3

Mount the wall can

If you haven't installed drywall yet, make sure the front of the wall can extends beyond the front edge

of the wall stud to match the drywall depth (Figure 3).

If you already have drywall installed, place the can into the cutout so the front is ﬂush with the drywall.

Fasten the wall can to the stud with either 2 screws (Model CS) or 4 screws (Model CST) (not

included), through holes provided in the wall can (Figure 3). As an option on model CS, the foam pad

provided may be attached to the side of the wall can to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 3).
