How do I install for new construction?
STEP 1
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the oor (See Figure 4). However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and oor for
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced at least
3 feet apart.
Secure the wall can to the studs and/or sill plate with screws
through the larger (3/16 inch) holes. (See Figures 1 and 2).
Figure 1
Metal legs position wall can
at minimum oor clearance
Mount The Wall Can
Figure 2
Bend one leg 90 degrees for
higher placement, and secure
to studs
Face of wall can must extend
1/2 inch or 5/8 inch from face
of stud to allow for thickness of
sheetrock. Mount wall can ush
with nished surface.
How do I install in an existing wall?
STEP 1
Cut a hole 12¾ inches wide by 6 inches high next to a wall stud.
REQUIRED MINIMUM distance of 6 inches from adjacent surfac-
es and 4-1/2 inches from the oor (See Figure 4). However, Cadet
RECOMMENDS 12 inches from adjacent surfaces and oor for
longer and cleaner performance. Heaters must be spaced at least
3 feet apart.
STEP 2
Route supply wire from
circuit breaker to wall
thermostat, then 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 5). Connect sup ply
ground wire to ground ing
pigtail in wall can.

If you are installing a Multi-Watt heater, model numbers RM151, RM162, or RM168, begin with STEP 1 below. If you are installing an
RM202, RM208, RM158, or RM108, begin with STEP 2 below.
STEP 1
Cadet’s Multi-Watt RM heater offers a variety of heat output options. You must rst determine the desired wattage and then congure
the heating element wire connections. The heater is shipped from the factory congured for maximum watts: 1600 Watts (240V) and
(208V) for RM162 and RM168, and 1500 Watts (120V) for RM151. If this is the wattage you desire, proceed to STEP 2.
On models RM151, RM162 and RM168, mark wiring diagram on the back of the heater with the wattage used for future reference.

STEP 3
Insert wall can, legs rst, into opening and rotate into wall. Keeping front of wall can ush with nished surface, secure to wall stud
with screws through larger (3/16 inch) holes. (See Figures 6 and

IMPORTANT: Insert two drywall screws into the small holes
opposite the wall stud into the drywall to rest against backside of
sheetrock (keeping wall can ush to wall).
