Installation of Back Box
Recessed in Wall in New Construction
1. Mounting Back Box (See Figure 1).
a. Remove heater assembly from back box by removing
the four mounting screws on the sides.
b. Place the back box between two 16” (406 mm) center-
to-center wall studs at the desired mounting height but
no closer than 3” (76 mm) to floor or 12” (305 mm) to
adjacent wall and 18” (458 mm) to the ceiling. Any
floor molding larger than 4” (102 mm) will interfere with
mounting so additional floor clearance will be required.
c. Remove the four small white hole caps on the sides of
the back box.
d. Adjust back box such that the top, bottom, and sides
will be flush with the finished wall surface. Secure the
back box in position with wood screws or nails as
shown in Figure 1.
2. Power Supply Wiring (See Figure 1).
NOTE: Wire Compartment Volume – 24 in 3 (386 cm 3 )
a. Remove the wiring compartment cover located in the
lower left corner of the back box.
b. Run a power supply cable into the area of the knock-
out in the bottom left hand corner of the back box. All
wiring must be in accordance with national and local
electrical codes. Refer to Table 1 for correct wire size.
c. Remove the knockout in the bottom left corner of the
back box and install a cable clamp. Insert power sup-
ply cable through cable clamp, allowing at least 6” (152
mm) of leads to extend inside the back box.
d. Ground the back box by connecting the supply ground
leadwire to the green ground screw located inside the
lower left corner of the back box. Connect the two
leadwires on the socket connector attached to the
wiring cover assembly to the power supply leads using
approved connectors.
e. Gently push wiring into the wiring compartment and
attach wiring compartment cover to back box. Make
sure wiring is not protruding or being pinched between
the wiring compartment cover and the back box.

leadwire to the green ground screw located inside the
lower left corner of the back box. Connect the two
leadwires on the socket connector attached to the
wiring cover assembly to the power supply leads using
