WALL PREP

Hotwire Heating Vertical Rails can be fixed to all wall types.
If installation is to a stud wall please ensure there are timber noggins to fix the rails to. If fixing to cement or plaster board please use fixings with a high weight bearing rating to ensure proper and safe installation.

ELECTRICAL & TRANSFORMER

All wiring and electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. The 12V Transformer must be positioned in a dry location and is recommended to be in an accessible location. 2m is the maximum distance the transformer can be from the rail.
A means for disconnection must be incorporated into the fixed wiring in accordance with AZ/NZS 3000:2000
As the 12V heated towel rail uses low voltage, it can be placed anywhere in the bathroom. You can even place it in the shower area as long as the transformer and timers are placed in the correct location according to its IP rating.
Please note your Vertical Rail can be wired through the bottom foot.
If rotating the rail in 180 degree, the wiring could be done through the top foot.
Hotwire Vertical Range are 12V and must be wired through the transformer included with the rail. The provided transformer will show an output once connected to a load and only then.
