Please check the contents of the Runtal Neptune carton to be
ure you have received all of the parts required. Runtal has
s
made every effort to ensure that all materials required for
mounting your unit have been included, and depending upon
specific installation conditions, you may have parts left over.
The mounting system has been designed for installation by one
person, but you may find an assistant helpful.

STEP 1 DETERMINE WIRING
The electrician should start by providing the wiring to the Neptune if
the model is electrical. The easiest termination of wires at the radiator is
accomplished using stranded conductors or 14/2 Romex (#12 AWG solid
wire is not recommended because of termination difficulties). If the unit
is hydronic, the plumber should determine the piping configuration.

STEP 2 ATTACH THE FOUR POSTS TO THE RADIATOR
Position the four posts (Parts A) into their fixed positions on the unit.
All four posts supplied with the towel radiator must be used, half as top
supports and half as bottom supports.
STEP 3 POSITION THE RADIATOR ON THE WALL
To hang the unit either: (1) Ask an assistant to hold the unit against
the wall while you trace the four mounting posts. (2) Measure out
the post positions. (3) Make a template by placing the towel radiator
onto a posterboard or a large piece of the carton and tracing the
mounting posts. The template is then taped to the wall.
STEP 4 DETERMINE WALL CONSTR

anchors with washers, (part G). Runtal towel radiators are very sturdy and
care should be taken that they are securely hung using all four mounting posts.
STEP 5 DRILL HOLES
Drill holes for appropriate anchors in the middle of all four traced
circles. Use of the metal wall anchors will require a 5/16" hole; use
of the 1-1/2" screw will require a 1/16" pilot hole.
STEP 6 FASTEN THE BRACKET SLEEVES TO THE WALL

ELECTRICAL DETAILS
Electrical Installation Procedure:
All electrical towel radiators are designed for 120v AC 60HZ and must be GFCI protected. In the case of plug-in models
this protection is integrated into the cord provided. In the case of the direct wire models, GFIC protection must be
provided at the circuit breaker by a qualified electrician.
To install the direct wire model the electrician should follow these steps:
(1) Remove the two screws on the side of the control unit.

(2) Remove the control unit cover by pulling it forward.
(3) Remove the electrical connection access cover.
(4) Using the appropriate cement, cement Part M into Part N. Leave an 1/8” space
between these parts.
(5) Cut Part O to the required length and cement it to Parts N and P. A strain relief
(provided by the electrician ) is threaded to Part O.
(6) Run the electrical wires through the conduit, secure the strain relief and slide
