Installation Guide
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Conduit Ceiling Mount is specifically design for installing
the E-A-W/B-4 and E-P-W/B-4 family of emitters in a
plenum space where local building code/regulations require
additional safety requirements.
Each Conduit Ceiling Mount kit comes with two sets of
rails that will accommodate a ceiling tile or drywall/joist
installation.
The Conduit Ceiling Mount kit contains the following:
1. Emitter Mounting Box (x4)
2. Tile Bridge Rails - Ceiling Tile (x8)
3. Tile Bridge Rails - Drywall/Joists (x8)
4. Pre-installed Rail Mounting Hardware (x16)

pulling the ange shown in
Figure 1.
2. Remove the desired knockout plug with an appropriate
tool.
3. Install wiring and conduit as
required.
4. When wiring and conduit
are installed, install the lower
cover back on to the conduit
box as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: The conduit box has a
seismic attach point to accommodate
installation security if required as

2. Locate the installation points on the joists with the box
attached to the rails to ensure spacing between the
rails is correct.
NOTE: The rails are slotted to accommodate adjustments upon
installation if required.
3. Once the installation points are determined, attach
the rails to the ceiling joists (hardware for this
attachment is not provided.) See Figure 5.
4. The screws that attach the rails to the conduit
box may be tightened once the nal location is
determined.
5. Install the drywall over the conduit as shown in Figure

6. Cut the drywall with an appropriate routing tool using
the inside diameter of the conduit box opening as a
guide.
NOTE: the cutout in the drywall should be 2.75 inch (7 cm) to
accommodate the conduit and emitter.
7. Attach the wiring and install the emitter in the conduit
mount through the drywall as shown in Figure 7.
