Will this fit into a 16 on center wall? Will it fit into a 2x4 framed wall, or is it too thick?

The quickest answer to your questions is Yes! I have installed 6 of these heaters, replacing baseboard heaters. I mounted them at the control end of the baseboards. Templates come with the heaters as well as wiring instructions. I highly recommend this heater.

Yes it will fit into a 2X4 wall with the studs on 16 inch center. The grill will stick out of the wall about 3/4 if an inch . The grill is designed to extend out into the room that much. The metal wall box that the heating element fits into and is attached to is actually about 12 inches wide as I recall.

It will fit into both the 16" centers and 2 x 4 walls. I have found these to be excellent little heaters. As others state, follow the directions to the letter.

Chelsea,This will definitely fit into a 16 on center wall. I was able to install this in my garage in between two 2x4's which were 16 " apart (on center).Hope it helps.Mychal

I have installed hundreds of these units, they do fit inside of a 2x4 wall with 16 OC studs. Follow the install directions to the letter.

yes and yes, i just put three of them in 2x4 walls. it gives you guide lines so you don't go too deep or stick out too far.

We mounted ours on 2x4s because it didn't quite align with our studs, so it sticks out a bit more, but if you can mount it directly on the wall, it only sticks out a couple of inches. In terms of how noticeable it would be, I think it depends on your wall color. Ours is on a dark wall, so it's very noticeable. On a white wall, it would be fairly unobtrusive. The only thing to keep in mind is that it's not designed for food, so the materials may not be food safe.

Wall thickness is OK. You would need to modify interior and exterior opening to to 6 1/2" diameter.

I've installed two of these. One fit perfectly in a 16 inch space. The other one I had to shim. Remember, once you cut the hole in the drywall it's easy to install filler pieces on either side. Then get long lag bolts and bolt right through the filler and into the stud. Very secure, even if they tear out the drywall around it.

I believe yes, mine is also 7x5 and it fit fine. I am pretty sure you don't mean 5 inches thick, as in it sticks out from the wall 5 inches, but if you do, then it won't fit.

It is not 7" deep that must be a typo. It is about 4-1/2" deep total. It fits in a standard 2x4 framed wall with 16" on center studs. so far I'm happy with it other than the odd layout of the number buttons. It works well for me.

It is a framed board. I would not suggest cutting that. It is thick enough for push pins.

Should be able to. I would but a 2x4 behind it to keep it from pushing to far into the wall since it is made for a 2x4 wall.

I have installed mine in a 1/4 piece of plywood to insert in a sliding basement window when it is open. I haven't had any issues doing this so I would imagine that it can be customized to fit into material of any thickness.

No its not very thick. Its about a quarter of inch i want guess.very easy to put on the wall. works great for me.

I wouldn't recommend it. It is rounded at the edges and possibly too thick for a frame such as yours.

Yes I think so. I would put a 2x6x55" or so. You woul want to catch three studs so it does not rock the wall. Let it hang over each stud a little so when you screw a 3" screw through the 2x4 in to the stud it does not split the end of the board. I have a 100lb bag hanging and the wall does not even creek. You would need three 2x6's going across. All the lag bolts would go through the bracket, 2x6 Sheetrock and then stud. 4"lag screw works perfect

He mounted it between 16" on center studs. It fits in a standard wall cavity, he took thin moulding, stained it to match cabinent and covered up the edges of the hole. Really looks nice.

Not this size. The 16.5" touched the back wall and the door of my oven. It's also pretty thick, about 3/4". Very heavy. I ended up buying a pampered chef 13".

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

DO NOT HANG THIS ON JUST DRYWALL! The bracket has holes spaced to allow you to get lag bolts into the studs behind the drywall. I know it will work on 16 and 24 inch on center. If you mount it in just drywall it will rip out.

It will fit but it definitely needs to be mounted into studs because it is VERY HEAVY. If your wall does not have studs in that span then you don't need to put it there.
