WARNING
The water heater must be installed on a wall that can bear its weight (more than 88 lbs. [40 kg] when fully plumbed and full of water). Installing the
water heater on a wall which cannot support its weight could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
This water heater is too heavy for one person to lift. It is highly recommended to install the water heater with two people. Use caution as to not
drop the water heater, which could damage the water heater and cause property damage and/or severe personal injury. Verify that the water
heater is properly and securely mounted before leaving unsupervised. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount the water heater could
result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
This wall mounting system is not seismic rated and should not be applied as such. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount the water
heater could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
▪ J. WALL-MOUNTING THE WATER HEATER
IMPORTANT
Cold weather handling – If water heater has been stored in a very cold location (below 0°F) before installation, handle with care until the plastic
components come to room temperature.
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the water heater to be lifted into its installation location.
The water heater may be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound-proong may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall).
