Pedestal Installation
(Surface-Mounted to Existing Floor)
Note: For ease of installation, it is important that the sequence
of operations indicated below be followed in order.
1. Remove front cover by removing mounting screws (Fig. 2)
2. Remove the top lock nut and the leveling nut from each
pedestal. (Do not loosen or remove the bottom lock nut.)
3. Screw one pedestal onto threaded rigid conduit protruding
from floor.
4. Install remaining pedestal(s) in heater and secure by
installing lock nut finger tight.
5. Install heater onto the pedestal which is screwed on the rigid
conduit. Position heater in desired location and mark
pedestal mounting hole locations on floor. Then remove the
heater and the one pedestal from the rigid conduit.Remove
the remaining pedestal(s) from the heater.
6. Drill holes in floor (Fig. 3b) and install threaded inserts (or
equivalent for 1/4" mounting bolts (inserts and bolts supplied
by installer.)
7. Reinstall the one pedestal on the rigid conduit, then secure
all other pedestals (with cover plates) to the floor with four
1/4" bolts through each pedestal flange.
Pedestal Installation
(Embedded in New Concrete Floor)
When a heater installation is to be embedded in a new concrete
floor, the pedestals are first installed in the concrete, then the
heater installed after the concrete has set. It is imperative that
the pedestals be installed in perfect alignment so that the holes
in order to achieve the required alignment, it is recommended
that the pedestals be held in place by the use of jigs during the
concrete pour. The jigs should be constructed of good quality 1"
x 4" lumber as shown in Figure 4. The pedestals are installed in
the jigs and then positioned for the concrete pour. One end
pedestal must be screwed onto rigid wall conduit so that the
mounting height requirements in Figure 1a are met after pouring
of the finished floor. (The method of securing the pedestals and
jigs in place during the pouring of the concrete is at the option of
the installer.) After the concrete has set, remove the jigs from the
pedestals and install the heater as indicated in steps Seven or
Eight.
Installation of Single Unit
Note: For ease of installation, it is important that the sequence
of operations below be followed in order.
1. Remove front cover by removing mounting screws (Fig. 2)
2. Install end caps (must be purchased separately) on both
ends of the heater housing. Refer to Figure 5 (907, 911, and
913 series) for details of end cap installation.
3. Install leveling nut on each installed pedestal, then position
heater on pedestals. Adjust the leveling nuts until the heater
is level and at the desired mounting height. Then install and
tighten the pedestal lock nuts.
4. Run proper size branch circuit to the junction box through the
appropriate end pedestal.
5. Following the wiring diagram secured to the heater, make
electrical connections.
6. Replace front cover and secure with mounting screws. (See
Figure 2.)
7. If the heater is equipped with a built-in thermostat, adjust the
shaft to the mid-range and let the heater run for a few hours.

If the room temperature is too hot,
clockwise; if too cool, rotate the shaft clockwise until a
comfortable temperature is obtained. Let room temper-
ature stabilize after each setting change.
Note: The thermostat adjustment shaft and the disconnect
switch are accessible through the grille openings at the left end
of the heater.
Installation of Multiple Units
Note: For ease of installation, it is important that the sequence
of operations indicated below be followed in order.
1. Remove front cover by removing mounting screws (Figure 2.)
2. Install end caps on the outer end of the first and last heater
(or blank section ) in a run using four No. 6 screws supplied
with end caps. (Refer to Figure 5a or 5b for details of end cap
installation.)
3. Run proper size branch circuit to the junction box through
heaters and blank sections (if applicable) on pedestals.
Note (907, 911, and 913 Series only): When butting heaters end
to end, be sure to position heaters carefully to insure proper align-
ment. Leave a 1/16" gap between heaters to allow for expansion.
4. Adjust the leveling nuts until the heaters are level and at the
desired mounting height. Then install and tighten the
pedestal lock nuts.
DO NOT OPERATE THE HEATERS UNLESS THE OUTER
END OF THE LAST HEATERS (OR BLANK SECTIONS) IN
THE RUN ARE CLOSED WITH END CAPS.
Note: 75˚C field wiring may be run through the blank section
wireway.
