Electric panel heater

Maxmayhem · Mar 15, 2020

Hi, looking for a bit of advice for a DIY’er.
I’ve got an electric panel heater to instal in my bathroom - there is a previous entry point for power that I can use for it, but the issue is the space around this point can’t take the heater as it’s meant to be orientated. I can however fit it if I hang it on the wall turned 90 degrees (it’s rectangular).

Alternatively I can use another wall but would need to re-route the wiring, which I’m not great at but if needs be fair enough.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

This is the heater if it helps

No, you can’t.

the elements inside will run horizontally.
turning them vertically will make themoverheat. (Heat rises)

only other solution is to buy a new heater that fits the gap, with the spacing around it as given in the manufacturers instructions, and make sure it’s suitable for a bathroom.

thanks for the advice, makes sense. I guess I was just looking for a lazy solution! Will look at different options.
Thanks again ?
