Yes, it needs to put in a junction box and keep away from insulation 3-4 inches.

The unit is made to be connected to an electrical box. You can, if you so desire attach an extension wire to it and plug into an outlet, however exposing the unit to be unplugged by a prankster or someone not familiar with the wire. I do not think this option will pass most fire inspections !

Unlike other similar kits that just have an empty hole in the middle which accommodates an electrical box, this kit has it built in. This feature doesn't necessarily make it better or easier for you to install, though it did for me to a large extent. Applications vary to a degree according to your needs, but I personally found it much easier to have a kit that included the box.

Yes, I use a frame under the box spring. Whether it's necessary or not, I couldn't tell you. I just have a regular metal frame, nothing fancy.

You shouldn't install it in a cabinet. It puts off a lot of heat at the back of the unit which can cause a fire. It needs to be on a counter or something in an open air environment

No, you don't have to but it is not needed. I have never used a box spring with mine.

Just follow the directions (the received fits snugly into the cover-just leave the wire exposed). It is a really simple installation but if you're asking this, you may need to hire someone....

Actually, I did not do it. I saw my husband install it. No need to nail in. Only need to cut the size right and squeeze in.

The metal plate simply covers the hole left by removing the reflector bulb. It might cut down on any drafts coming through the fixture or maybe stop some bugs from crawling in. Maybe it also affords some fire resistance. If you're installing a cover over the hole anyway, I wouldn't worry about skipping the metal cover plate. It does not provide any structural function.

If you have to be shown how to do the install, my advice is that you not do it. It requires basic sheet metal, electrical and plumbing skills. If you don't know what you're doing, you will make a big mess, expensive to fix and maybe break your furnace.

I secured mine to my standard metal frame, and it works fine. The screws you'll need are included in the package.

Yes it's a real easy fix takes about 10 minutes to put in. There's like a square box on the fire wall Just unplug the old one, pull it out, grease up the new one, put it in, and screw it down. It's easy

No, it's just a steel box. It suits our needs, but it's not fire/water rated.

I dont know what box u are asking, but as long as u have a flat ceiling, it is easy to instal. Thy dont hv instructions in the box

The AC is housed in a metal box that it slides into (then the plastic fron is snapped in place). The instructions show that the same metal box is used for "through the wall installation.". (you may be able to find the manual on line). The box is vented, so you want to be sure that the vents (2 on each side and 1 on top) clear the wall and reach the outside.

You need an electrical box - part of the unit sticks out the back so the box is needed to accept.
