parts. The upper part is referred to as the junction box cover.
The lower part is referred to as the heater assembly. (See Figure

install appropriate cable clamp (not supplied).
Installation of Back Box in New Construction

tions for “Installation of Back Box in Finished Wall”.
To prevent a possible fire, injury to persons or damage to the
heater, adhere to the following:
1. Disconnect all power coming to heater at main service
panel before wiring or servicing.
2. All wiring procedures and connections must be in accor-
dance with the National and Local Codes having jurisdic-
tion and the heater must be grounded.
3. Power supply must enter back box through the knockouts.
See TOP marking on the back box for proper orientation.
4. Verify the power supply voltage coming to heater matches
the ratings as shown on the heater nameplate.
