Installation Instructions - Cadet Com-Pak CS051 Owner's Manual

1.
Verify that the electrical supply wires are the same
voltage as the heater.
2. If replacing an existing heater, check the label
of the old heater.
3. All electrical work and materials must comply
with the National Electric Code (NEC), the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and all
state and local codes.
4. If you need to install a new circuit or need addi-
trician.
5. Use copper conductors only.
6.
Risk of Electrical Shock. DO NOT install the heat-
er directly above bathtub or sink. DO NOT install
in shower stall area (Manufacturer recommends a
minimum 2 foot clearance).
7. Heater must be installed in a wall can:
Model CS Wall Can CC
Model CST Wall Can WC1
PLACEMENT: Install the Com-Pak, model CS, vertically (recommended), horizontally, or in the ceiling (single units only, up to 1,500
watts maximum). For ceiling mounting, refer to instructions on page 4. The Com-Pak Twin (Model CST) must be installed with the
arrows in the wall can pointing upwards.
THERMOSTAT: A wall thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. A Cadet electronic thermostat is recommended
for ultimate control and comfort.
How do I install for new construction?
STEP 1
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
for longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced at
least 3 feet apart.
Review the wall can label for correct direction (as noted by the UP
arrows) before mounting the wall can to the stud. In the vertical
mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be at
the top. In the horizontal mounting position the element of the
heater assembly will be to the left.
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to the stud with 2
screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall can. As
an option, the rubber shim provided may be attached to the side
of the wall can to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to both wall studs
with 4 screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall
can.
Face of wall
can must
extend
inch from
face of stud
to allow for
thickness of
sheetrock.
STEP 2
Route supply wire from the circuit breaker, to the thermostat, to
the wall can. For models with a built-in thermostat, route supply
wire from the circuit breaker to the wall can. 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 (See
Figure 3). Proceed to Part Two.

How do I install in an existing wall?
STEP 1
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced at least
3 feet apart.
Cut a hole 8 inches wide by 10¼ inches high next to a
wall stud.
Cut a hole 14 inches wide by 10¼ inches high next
to a wall stud.
STEP 2
Route supply wire from the circuit
breaker, to the thermostat, to the
wall can. For models with an in-built
thermostat, route supply wire from the
circuit breaker to the wall can. Remove
a knockout from the wall can and attach
the supply wire with a strain relief con-
nector (not included) leaving a minimum
of 6 inches wire lead. Connect supply
ground wire to grounding screw in wall
can (See Figure 3).
STEP 3
Review the wall can label for correct direction (as noted by the UP
arrows) before mounting the wall can to the stud. In the vertical
mounting position the element of the heater assembly will be at
the top. In the horizontal mounting position the element of the
heater assembly will be to the left. Insert wall can into wall open-
ing.
wall surface, secure the wall can to the stud with 2 screws (not
included) through holes provided in the wall can. As an option, the
rubber shim provided may be attached to the side of the wall can
to square the wall can to the stud (See Figure 2).
wall surface (See Figure 1), secure the wall can to both wall studs
with 4 screws (not included) through holes provided in the wall
can. Proceed to Part Two.
