9.The final step is to attach the Decorator Cover Plate ￿(supplied) to the front of the Waterpad assembly using the four #6-32 x 1/2" Slot White

Oval Hd screws ￿ (supplied).

Mounting into a New Construction J-Box

The procedure to mount the Waterpad into a new construction type J-box is essentially the same as that for a retrofit J-box.

1. The main difference is that you will

need to have access to the rear of

the new construction J-box so that

the 6-foot, 7-conductor cable can be

pulled through the knockout hole

to the 8-terminal block and the 4-

Mounting Directly to a Wall Surface

If the wall material is sufficiently strong so that it will hold the threads of sheet metal or wood screws, you may be able to mount the Waterpad directly to the wall surface. Refer to Fig. 9 and proceed as follows:

1.Use the Adapter Plate ￿ as a template to mark a cutout opening for the Waterpad on the wall and to locate pilot holes for the four Adapter Plate mounting screws ￿. Also, mark spots for clearance holes for the ends of the #6-32 x 1/2" cover plate screws ￿.

2.Cut the opening for the Waterpad.
