  • Level the top of the trench to the finished floor level along the length of the trench run using M10 adjustable splayed feet/studs, up to 30mm adjustment is possible..
  • If the grille retaining angle is recessed, use the grille provided to find the finished floor level.
  • Remove blind grommet in the base of the heater and drill through into the concrete to a depth to take a hilti red head ( or similar fixing).
  • Fit M8 studding, washer and nut. Tighten up the nut ( adjust the feet if required ) so that the trench is firmly secured in position and at the correct level. Ensure that the feet locking nuts are tightened. Protect the trench heater from damage by others after fitting.
