Mounting the Water Heater
!
CAUTION
Reinforcement of the wall is required in case the
wall is not strong enough to hold the water heater.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/
or product damage.
The mounting location for the water heater should allow
for easy access and operation�
The water heater is designed to be installed either inside
the wall cavity between the wall studs or outside the wall
cavity� Either installation requires the water heater to be
supported with a wooden support brace between the wall
studs or a piece of wood that is equal in size to the water
heater and securely attached to the wall studs before the
water heater is attached to it� This piece of wood can be
installed inside or outside the wall� Use wood screws to
secure brackets to the wall� If mounting to a concrete
wall, use lag bolts designed for concrete�
Make sure the proper electrical outlet or supply (120
VAC/60 Hz) is available and located near the unit� Direct-
vent models come with a 6-ft� (1�8-m) power cord, while
the outdoor models require hard-wiring or the addition of
a plug�
Position the upper mounting bracket and partially install
the center mounting screw� The clearance between the
screw head and the wall should be about 1/8 in� (0�3 cm)�
Hang the upper bracket on the screw�
NOTICE:
The image above may differ in appearance from
your water heater.
Using two mounting screws and washers, secure the
lower mounting bracket to the wall� Then, secure the
upper mounting bracket to the wall with two mounting
screws and washers�
Position the water heater and tighten the adjustment
screws to complete the installation� The rear of the water
heater can be positioned anywhere between 3/8 in� (0�95
cm) and 1 1/2 in� (3�8 cm) from the wall (indoor model
only)�
