models. Use 14 ga. copper wire MINIMUM.
• For indoor use ONLY with 6” or 8” round ductwork (depending on model).
• Units are rated for zero clearance.
CHOOSE LOCATION (Figure 1)
1. Install HotPodTM in a horizontal position ONLY.
2. Select a 14” (35.6 cm) section of duct that is a MINIMUM of 4 feet (122 cm) from outlet register.
• Select section so that you can insert male crimped end into inlet side of the HotPodTM.
• Discharge end must point toward outlet register (arrows show air ow direction).
• Position wiring enclosure to allow permanent access to the wiring compartment.
INSTALL HotPodTM
1. Remove 9” (22.9 cm) section of duct for the 6” HotPod or 9 1/2” for the 8” HotPod. Allow an additional 5” (12.7cm) for
the optional Silent Boot.
For Rigid Metal Duct
• Crimp ends of the duct as needed to provide male ends for insertion into the HotPodTM.
• Fasten with a minimum of 3 sheet metal screws at both ends and within 1.5” (3.8 cm) of the end of the housing. Seal
with a good quality duct tape.
For Flexible Duct
• Attach exible duct directly to HotPodTM housing using approved connection methods.

POWER WIRING
Warning !
Remove power from 120Vac circuit selected. Do not energize circuit until all connections are made and HotPodTM wiring
enclosure is closed after installation.
FOR PERMANENT WIRED MODELS
1. Remove wiring cover. Following all local codes, connect to 120 Vac, 15 amp dedicated circuit for 1000w models, and
120 Vac, 20amp dedicated circuit for 1440w models. Provide strain relief for all wiring.
A. Black/hot wire to “L1” terminal (See Fig.2).
B. White/neutral wire to “NEUT ” terminal (See Fig.2).
C. Green or ground wire to green housing ground screw.
CORD CONNECTED MODELS
For cord connected models, plug the unit into a nema type 5-15R receptacle on a dedicated 15amp or 20 amp circuit

CONTROL WIRING
The HotPod is provided with a low voltage wall thermostat.
1. Disconnect the power supply to the HotPod.
2. For the HotPod Control Board connection remove approximately 2 1/2” of the the outer jacket from the thermostat cable,
20 AWG min. solid conductor is recommended. Use electrical materials approved by applicable codes.
3. Feed thermostat cable through the “double d” hole in control board enclosure.
4. Connect the wires to the proper terminals. (See Fig.3)
5. Place strain relief (provided) around the thermostat cable, approximately 3 1/2 inches from stripped end. Using
a pair of pliers press rmly onto cable and into “double d” shaped hole provided in control board enclosure.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
FOR ‘HARD-WIRED’ THERMOSTATS
Note: All thermostats may not operate the HotPod correctly. The thermostat must operate the fan with the heat.

THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Determine the location where the thermostat is to be mounted. It should be installed about 54” above oor level where there
is good air circulation. Avoid heat sources such as lamps,direct sunlight, replaces or walls containing air conditioning and
heating ducts. Do not install where anything can obstruct free air ow such as drapes or doors.
1. Disconnect the power supply to the HotPod.
2. Follow instructions included with the thermostat for installation procedures.
3. Choose a proper location for the thermostat following instructions outlined above. Insure proper t. for dimensions see
below (FIG 4).
4. For the thermostat connection remove approximately 2 1/2” of the outer jacket and strip the individual conductors
approximately 1/4” . Use electrical materials approved by applicable codes.
5. Feed electrical wires from the system through the opening in wall plate. Wiring must not interfere with the operation of
the thermostat.
6. Connect the wires to the proper terminals. (See Fig.3)
7. Once you have nished installing the thermostat in the desired location, restore power to the Hotpod.
