STEP 3
• KNOW YOUR VOLTAGE and CHECK YOUR BREAKER!
• All baseboard heaters require three supply wires. For 120 volt baseboard wiring you will have 1 hot,
1 neutral and 1 ground. For 240 and 208 volt baseboard wiring you will have 2 hots and 1 ground;
no neutral needed.
• If you're wiring a model 8F2025, go to page 5 now.
• Cut ONLY ONE factory connection and ONLY on the side you will be wiring! If your heater is a 120
volt model, cut ONLY the factory connection that has one black and one white wire!

If you're wiring a WALL thermostat for your heater, follow the instructions and diagrams below or on
page 5, for your voltage and the side you're wiring. Route your electrical supply wires from the circuit
breaker to the wall thermostat, and then to the baseboard heater.
