Mounting Bracket

MODEL: 361

Inlets

MODEL: 360 Series

INSTALLATION

1. Once the locations for wall inlet locations have been
determined, mount all inlet brackets.

2. To locate bracket on wall stud, measure approximately 18”
up from finished floor level. (Height location may vary
according to individual preference.)

3. Refer to Figure 1. Nail bracket to side of stud so that front
edge of bracket is flush to front of stud. (The bracket may
also be nailed to the front edge of the stud. For front stud
mounting, use locating tabs on bracket for proper alignment.)

4. Refer to Figure 2. Remove cardboard from plaster guard
frame. Using four (4) provided screws, attach the appropriate
flanged fitting and inlet seal to back of inlet.

5. Replace cardboard into plaster guard frame.

6. Plumb tubing to inlet. Run 2-conductor (376 or 376UL)
low voltage cable between inlet and power unit.

CAUTION: When tubing is run through the wall stud, sole
plate, headers – or anywhere that building materials will be
attached – place a nail plate (Model 378) over that area (on
both sides if necessary) to prevent nails from piercing
tubing.

WALL INLET INSTALLATION

1. Once the walls have been finished, install the wall inlets.

2. Remove the cardboard plaster guard.

3. Refer to Figure 3. For some dry wall or panel construction,
the plaster frame will extend beyond the finished wall. In this
case, remove plaster frame from mounting bracket by
removing mounting screws.

4. Refer to Figure 4. Connect 2-conductor low voltage wire to
terminal screws on back of wall inlet.

5. Guide excess wire back through the hole in inlet bracket and
flanged fitting.

6. Refer to Figure 5. Place inlet into mounting bracket and
secure.

NOTE: When wall inlets are installed in 1⁄4” or 1⁄2” thick
walls, the tube of the wall inlet may extend into elbow area
of the flanged fitting and cause blockage. Shorten the wall
inlet tube to prevent this condition. Refer to Figure 6.

For extra thick walls, use Model 399 extension sleeves to

connect inlet to the flanged fitting.
