Installation Instructions

How do I install for
new construction walls?

STEP 1

Mount The Wall Can

How do I install in an existing wall?

STEP 1

Cut Hole In Wall

Route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat
to wall can. For models with built-in thermostat, route
supply wire from circuit breaker to wall can. Remove
a knockout and attach the supply wire with a strain
relief connector leaving 10 inches wire lead for later
use. Connect supply ground wire to grounding pigtail
in wall can (See Figure 3). Proceed to PART TWO.

STEP 2

Route Supply Wires

Route supply wire from circuit breaker to thermostat
to wall can. For models with built-in thermostat, route
supply wire from circuit breaker to wall can. Remove
a knockout and attach the supply wire with a strain
relief connector leaving 10 inches wire lead for later
use (See Figure 3). Connect supply ground wire to
grounding pigtail in wall can.

STEP 2

Route Supply Wires

Review the wall can label for correct direction
(as noted by the UP arrows) before mounting the
wall can in the opening. In the VERTICAL mounting
position the elements of the heater assembly will be
at the top, in the HORIZONTAL mounting position the
elements of the heater assembly will be to the left.

Insert wall can into opening. Keeping wall can flush
with wall, secure Model C to wall stud with 2 screws
and Model CT to both wall studs with 4 screws.
Proceed to PART TWO.

INSTRUCTIONS

AND SAFETY

INFORMATION

IMPORTANT!

It is extremely

important you verify

that the electrical

supply wires are

the same voltage as

the heater (i.e. 120

volt heater to 120

volt power supply

and 240 volt heater

to 240 volt power

supply). If replacing

an existing heater,

check the labels of

the old heater and

replace using the

same voltage.

Hooking a 240 volt

heater to a 120 volt

power supply will

drastically reduce

the heater’s output.

Hooking a 120 volt

heater to a 240 volt

power supply will

destroy the heater.

Connecting your

heater to an

incompatible

power supply will

void the warranty.

Part One

PLACEMENT:

Install The Com-Pak Plus (Model C) vertically (recommended) or horizontally. Model C may be

installed in the ceiling (for models up to 1500W maximum. See ceiling mount instructions.) The Com-Pak Twin Plus
(Model CT) must be installed with the arrows in the wall can pointing upwards.

THERMOSTAT:

A thermostat is required for models without a built-in thermostat. A Cadet Electronic Thermostat or

Cadet Dual Diaphragm Thermostat is recommended for ultimate control and comfort.

STEP 3

The C Series REQUIRES A MINIMUM distance of
6 inches from adjacent surfaces and 4

inches from

the floor (See Figure 4) and the CT Series REQUIRES
A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 4

inches from the floor (See Figure 5).

However, Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all
adjacent surfaces and 12 inches above the floor for
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be
spaced at least 3 feet apart.

Model C: Secure the wall can to the stud with
2 screws (See Figures 1 & 2). As an option, the rubber
shim provided may be attached to side of wall can to
square the wall can to the stud.

Model CT: Secure the wall can to studs on both sides
with 4 screws.

Model C: Cut a hole 8 inches wide by 10

inches

high next to wall stud. The C Series REQUIRES
A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 4

inches from the floor. However,

Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent
surfaces and 12 inches from the floor (See Figure 4).

Model CT: Cut a hole 14

inches wide by 10 inches

high next to wall stud. The CT Series REQUIRES
A MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent
surfaces and 4

inches from the floor. However,

Cadet RECOMMENDS 12 inches from all adjacent
surfaces and 12 inches from the floor (See Figure 5).
