Installation Instructions
STEP 1: Mount Heater to Wall
1.Locate wall studs closest to supply wires and position heater (See Figure 1). NOTE: Wire connection is possible from either right or left side of the baseboard heater.

5.Mount the heater securely to the wall with nails or screws going into at least two wall studs (See Figure 5). The back of the heater has “star punch” dimples that allow nails or screws to easily pierce the sheet metal.

NOTE: You do not need to disassemble any additional parts to mount the heater.
STEP 2: Baseboard Wiring
1.Verify the electrical supply wires are the same voltage as the heater. Check heater specifications to ensure correct wiring. Failure to do so may destroy the heater and void your warranty.
Both 120 volt and 240 volt baseboard wiring utilize 3 supply wires.
120 volt baseboard wiring: 1 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground
240 volt baseboard wiring: 2 hot and 1 ground. No neutral needed.
For all baseboard wiring applications, both supply wires must be connected to at least one (1) heater wire.
2.Connect the grounding lead to the grounding pigtail (copper wire) with a connector (See Figure 4). It may be necessary to move ground lead to the side you are wiring.
3.Disconnect one factory connector (See Figure 6. Model 8F2025 see Figure 7). If wiring on the left side, disconnect factory connector A. If wiring on the right side, disconnect factory connector B.
NOTE: There are no loose wires provided with the baseboard. This is due to the ability to wire the baseboard on either the right or left side of the heater.
