GENERAL
The heater is designed for recessed installation in 2” X 4” (50 mm X 101
mm) stud or larger wall sections using the wall box provided. The heater
may also be surface mounted by using the Surface Mounting Frame,
Model SWHSM or semi-recess mounted by using a SWHS1 (for 1” (25
mm) recess frame) or a SWHS2 (for 2” (50 mm) recess frame). All three
accessories are ordered separately. The heater may be wired with standard building wire (60°C). Refer to specification chart (see pg. 4) for correct supply voltage and wire size.
NOTE: The optimum mounting height for this heater is 18" to 24" (450 to
600 mm) from floor to bottom of back box. Do not install closer than
4”(101 mm) from the floor.
For surface or semi-recess mounting, consult Installation Instructions
packed with SWHSM, SWHS1, SWHS2.
INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX IN NEW CONSTRUCTION
NOTE: If the finished wall surface is already up, follow instructions for
“INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX IN EXISTING CONSTRUCTION”.
1. Determine which side of the back box is to be mounted against a
stud and bend the tabs at the rear corners out 90 degrees so that
the back box will be square with the stud after installation. (See
Figure 1).
2. Remove one of the knockouts on socket side of the back box and
install a cable or conduit connector.
3. Positionback box against sideof studsandsecureusing nailsorscrews
as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: The back box must be installed with the front edge flush with
the finished surface.
4. Run power supply cable through the connector, leaving about 8” of
wire inside the box.
5. Connect thesupply cableground wiretogreen ground screwprovided.

NOTE: Lead holes for a #8 sheet metal screw have been provided in the
sides of the back box.. After the finished wall or ceiling has been put up,
drive a # 8 sheet metal screw (recommended 1” long) through the side of
the box not mounted to the stud. This will prevent the back box from
pulling out when installing the heater assembly. (See Figure 1)
INSTALLATION OF BACK BOX IN
EXISTING CONSTRUCTION
1. Carefully mark and cut a holemeasuring 9-3/8" (235mm) wide by 111/8" (283mm) long. One edge of the hole must be cut along the
edge of a stud.
CAUTION
AN ELECTRICAL SHOCK, FIRE OR WATER DAMAGE COULD
RESULT IF WIRING OR PIPING IS DAMAGED DURING CUTTING.
MAKE SURE ALL WIRING AND PIPING ARE CLEAR OF AREA
BEFORE CUTTING.
2. Proceed to No. 1 through 5 (Installation of Back Box in New
Construction).
FIELD CONVERSION FOR LOWER WATTAGE RATING
NOTE: Refer to specification chart for lower wattage ratings which are
available.
To convert heater to lower wattage rating, completely remove red jumper
wire from both heating elements (See Figure 2). Discard this jumper. Be
sure remaining wires are securely connected.
