Key Installation Information
Your completed installation
should look like the buildup shown opposite. Make sure the panel is mounted
flush with the surface of the wall frame so there is no air gap between the
panel and the back of the wall sheet.
Make note of the location
of the panel and ensure all fixings are installed outside the panel area to
ensure the fixings do not penetrate the panel.
Ensure the supply lead is prewired or run to an access point prior to the wall
being sheeted.
All electrical work must be
completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with any local regulations.
All modification to the
framework and reinforcing of the framework to accommodate the panel is the
responsibility of the installer.
This appliance is not
intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance
Means for full electrical
disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring installation in
accordance with the wiring rules.
The supply cord into the
appliance cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged the appliance should be
scrapped and replaced.
Installation Information
1. Plan out the installation
Your completed installation should look like the buildup shown opposite.
Make sure the panel is mounted flush with the surface of the wall so there is
no air gap between the panel and the back of the wall sheet
2.Modify the framework
Begin by making a 555mm wide space in the wall to accommodate the
Thermorad. If the stud spacing is 600mm centre-to-centre Thermorad should fit
directly between the studs.
3.Fix studs above the Thermorad
It is recommended to include fixing in the wall above the Thermorad to
provide a suitable mounting for your towel rail to fix to.
4.Reinforce the framework
Once your frame modifications have been completed you may need to reinforce
the framework work with additional timber if required.
5. Dual setup for rails over 650mm wide For rails over 650mm wide we
recommend the use of two Thermorad panels to increase the heating area. Having
a stud running between the two Thermorad’s provides an anchor point for the
wall sheeting to be fixed
6.Make provision for the power lead
The power supply comes out of the top of the unit. Identify where the power
lead will be running to connect to the power supply or timer and make
appropriate provision for running the cable. 7.Place 7.the Thermorad in
position
Sit the Thermorad in the wall cavity ensuring that the aluminium face
marked front is facing out. Ensure the panel is flush with the wall frame
surface so there is no cavity created between the panel and the wall sheet
when it is sheeted.
8.Fix the Thermorad in position
Fix the Thermorad in position by screwing through the fixing holes provided
at the top and bottom of the unit. Ensure the face of the unit is flush with
the front face of the stud.
9. Sheet the wall
Sheet the wall over the Themorad panel. Make sure you mark the exact
location of the panel and the studs onto your sheet so that you don’t
accidently fix into the panel and damage it.
10.Tile or Paint the wall
Tile or paint the wall to complete your bathroom.
11.Mount the rail
Mount the rail onto the wall ensuring you leave a minimum of 50mm space
above the top of the Thermorad before fixing the rail so as not to mount into
the panel.
12. Connect to the power supply
Connect the Thermorad panel lead into the incoming power supply or timer.
This work must be undertaken by a qualified electrician and it is important to
ensure any electrical connections are accessible.
