Installation

surface mounting panels

Wiring our heating panels is similar to wiring a light fixture. They are lightweight and can be installed by one or two people, preferably a qualified electrician.

We provide all of the hardware, including the thermostat, extension ring, and mounting hardware. If you do this yourself, you will only need the wire, generally 12-2, and the means of installation.

After the panels are installed, they can easily be painted (optional) with a water based paint to match the existing wall color. DO NOT OPERATE UNTIL COMPLETELY DRY.

NOTE: Please use latex gloves that are clean when installing to keep dirt and fingerprints off the panels. If they do become dirty, use warm water and a small paint brush, then blot with a dry cloth.

Surface mounting with wire behind sheet rock (Wiremold RPD model shown)
  1. Insure adequate clearance for panel connection box.
  2. Install connection (Handy) box to back of panel using the pre-positioned screws (provided).
  3. Connect the power supply conductors to the panel leads in the connection box.
  4. Position on ceiling, holding panel in place.
  5. Punch or drill holes into the ceiling to provide a hole for the anchor assembly (provided), or mark holes for drill. The frame mounting holes are designed to accept #6 -1 ¾” Pan head screws (provided).
  6. Hold the panel up the ceiling and install the screws through the panel and tighten into place.
    NOTE:
    Installing screws on the opposing corners of a panel at first greatly eases the installation.
  7. Insert plastic caps to close frame screw holes.

  2. Position panel and junction box assembly onto ceiling to mark the location of the panel and junction box mounting holes.
  3. Use proper mounting anchors based on the material that the panel will be
    attached to. i.e. sheet rock, brick, concrete, etc.
  4. Hold the panel and junction box assembly to the ceiling; insert screw completely through large frame hole and screw securely through small frame hole into anchor.
  5. Bring Wiremold raceway through appropriate knockout of panel junction box.
