Please check the contents of the Runtal Versus 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 Versus 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, B, & C as shown in the diagram on the
right. The placement of the mounting posts is flexible, however it is
recommended where possible that the posts be placed one on each side
of the vertical tubes between the second and third horizontal tubes
from the top and bottom. 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) Measur
the post positions. (3) Make a template by placing the towel radiator
onto a posterboar
mounting posts. The template is then taped 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.

(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
Part M into the slot of the electical junction box as shown.
