INFORMATIONAL BULLETIN
Subject: Cadet Model RM Heater,
Distance of Wall Can Surface to Floor
As stated in the RM Owner's Guide, the indicated distance of 4-1/2" minimum for the
cutting in of the heater opening in the wall is from the sub-floor, to which the wall
bottom plate is attached. The feet of the wall can,, plus the wall plate thickness of
1-1/2" add up to the 4-1/2" noted in the instructions.
Cadet was required to successfully perform the Underwriters Laboratory tests for
safety at what is referred to as 'zero' clearance. This is the placement of the wall
can, feet removed, atop the wall plate, i.e. 1-1/2" above the sub-floor.
It is Cadet's preference that the mounting feet be used to space the wall can
appropriately above the wall floor plate, thus providing a minimum of 4-W above the
sub-flooring. It is recognized that the addition of floor covering over the sub-floor will
diminish the 4-1/2" spacing; the product has been satisfactorily tested to a distance
of 1-1/2" above a floor surface.
The 12" recommended distance to the floor, we believe, provides longer and cleaner
performance of the heater.
