MODEL: 9960

FOR BEST RESULTS

In a new construction site, install the housing (complete with heater) during rough-in construction of the building. The light assembly and the grille should be installed when the finished ceiling is in place.

Installation in an existing, finished building requires an accessible area (attic or crawl space) above the planned location. See “INSTALLATION IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION.”

Do not install closer than 12 inches to a vertical surface. Do not install over tub or shower enclosure.

UNIT DIMENSIONS

Refer to Figure 1 for housing's dimensions.

NOTE: If there will be a finished second floor above, the Model 9960 housing requires a minimum of 2" x 8" joist construction for mounting.

WIRING AND DUCTWORK

1. Run the required wiring during rough-in stage of

construction.

2. Total connected load: 1680 watts.

3. Plan to run 120vAC, 60 Hz wiring (with ground) on a

separate 20 Amp circuit from a power source, through

the provided wall switch, to the housing’s junction box.

See wiring diagram.
