MODEL NUMBER DESCRIPTION
This document explains the correct procedure for the installa-
tion and safe operation of all models of Draft Barrier and Pedestal
Mounted Heaters.
Draft Barrier Heating Systems are designed to be installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and with local codes
by a qualified person.
General Information —
Draft Barriers and Pedestal Mounted Heaters are intended for
wall, sill or floor mounting.
The heaters are designed so that they may be used as an indi-
vidual cabinet convector, in a wall-to-wall configuration or as an
end-to-end continuous perimeter room heating system.
Draft Barrier heating systems are supported by a wide selec-
tion of controls and accessories designed to solve any heating
requirement.
Before You Unpack —
1. Make certain that the number of cartons received agrees with
the Bill of Lading, Packing List and original order. Also check
that the correct style (Model) and color have been shipped.
2. Every heater is carefully inspected and shipped with a clear
Bill of Lading.
Obvious external and/or concealed damage must be reported to
the carrier for remedy.
WARNING: — Hazard of Fire
1. DO NOT INSTALL HEATERS AGAINST ANY HIGH-
LY COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES SUCH AS LOW
DENSITY CELLULOSE FIBRE.
2. DO NOT LOCATE HEATER BELOW ELECTRICAL
CONVENIENCE RECEPTACLES.
3. DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR FLAMMA-
BLE LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE HEATERS.
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. The normal operating
temperatures of cabinet convectors are relatively
high and proper operation requires free circulation
of room air through the heating element. Bottom
air inlet heaters must be mounted with minimum of
3” from finished floor.
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. Keep electrical cords,
drapes, rugs and other furnishings away from the
heater.
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. Furniture must be
placed no closer than four inches from the heater
(see Figure 1).
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. Drapes must clear the
top of heater by at least twelve inches; or, if floor
length drapes are used, they must clear the fin-
ished floor by three inches and the minimum clear-
ance from the back fold to the front cover should
be at least four inches (see Figure 1).
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. When the floor is to be
finished in carpet, allow clearance under the
heaters and corners for carpet installation. Bottom
air inlet heaters are to be mounted a minimum of
3” from the finished floor.
WARNING: Hazard of Fire. Rugs may be placed up
to a heater provided that they are not of a thick-
ness that would block the air-intake. Bottom air
inlet heaters are to be mounted a minimum of 3”
from the finished floor.

Draft Barrier Heater Installation (Wall)
1. Once the correct mounting height is established, scribe or snap
a level line on the wall to maintain each heater back plate in
horizontal alignment, when mounting.
2. Remove heater front cover by lifting top rear edge to unsnap
cover from back plate (store cover in safe location to avoid
damage to the finish). (See Figure 2.)
3. Remove all appropriate knockouts from terminal boxes, partic-
ularly terminal box end knockouts when installing continuous
run heating. (See Figure 3.)
4. Mount the back panel to the wall using suitable fasteners (not
supplied). Should the wall surface be uneven, secure the heater
backplate to the high spots only to avoid a distorted appearance.
Draft Barrier Heater Installation (Floor)
1. Unpack the heater and pedestal(s) from the carton (The
pedestals are packed at the end of carton) and lift the front/top
panels up and off the heater.
2. Disassemble the pedestal base from the pedestal pad.
3. Remove the desired terminal box cover(s) and supply wire
entry knockouts from the terminal boxes.
4. Secure a pedestal to each end of the heater bottom with #8
screws provided aligning the back and front edges of the pad
with the heater. This will align the supply entry knockout with
opening in pedestal pad.
TIP: Units longer than 4 feet will be provided with 3 or more
pedestals. The extra pedestals should be used to support the
middle of heaters.
5. Place heater on the pedestal base(s) and tighten all screws.
TIP: The height of the heater can be adjusted on the pedestal to
aid in leveling the heater by loosening the securing bolt at the
side of the pedestals.
6. Remove the terminal box cover and proceed to wiring instructions.

Ground Continuity —
Note: All wiring should be done in accordance with local codes
and the National Electrical Code by a qualified person.
WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Any installa-
tion involving electric heaters must be effectively
grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code to eliminate shock hazard.
Prior To Installation —
WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Disconnect all
power before installing heater.
1. All branch circuit and service supply wiring must be complet-
ed to the heater terminal box location.
2. Check heater nameplate ratings to be sure heater voltage is
same as service supply.
3. Service supply entry is usually made to one heater terminal box
(see Figure 3) with through wiring (Factory Installed) being
used for interconnection of all heaters in a continuous run
installation.
Note: When heaters are mounted end to end, remove the finishing
end plate, install a chase nipple and locknut in the terminal box
end knockout to ensure grounding continuity and to protect the
wiring.
Where heaters are spaced apart, remove the finishing end plate,
and use rigid conduit (Provided by customer) for through wiring
and ground continuity. Do not exceed the allowable number of
conductors allowed by the National Electrical Code.
Note: See Table 3 for recommended service supply wire sizes.
4. Knockouts are provided at the back, bottom and ends of all
heater backs (see Figure 3). Terminal boxes are located at both
ends of every heater.

1. Wire all heaters and controls in accordance with the appropri-
ate wiring diagram provided below.
2. Run a ground jumper from the ground screw in one terminal
box to the ground screw in the adjacent terminal box. (See
Figure 4.)
3. Do a final and complete check of all wiring then replace the
terminal box covers being careful not to pinch any wires.
4. The front panel may now be installed.
5. Place the front panel over the flange of the bottom panel.
Hook the top back edge of the front panel over the top panel,
and secure with screws.
