MOUNTING THE WATER HEATER (cont.)
FINISHED WALLS (Drywall) Option 1:
Mount boards over drywall directly to studs
in the wall. When attaching the unit to a finished
wall, mount two boards suitable for anchoring
to wall studs. Level the unit during installation.
NOTE: Do not hang the unit on drywall only. The
unit must be secured into wood mounting board.
FINISHED WALLS (Drywall) Option 2:
Framed wall with boards behind the drywall.
Mount the unit to boards in the wall. Do not use
the screws provided to mount through drywall.
Screws long enough to penetrate the drywall
and provide at least 1″ of engagement in wood
should be used. Screws should be rated to carry
a tensile load of 200 lbs each. Level the unit
during installation.
NOTES:
• Screws provided must fasten securely
and directly into wood. If screws go through
drywall and do not fully engage the wood stud,
the installer must supply correct screws.
• Do not hang the unit on drywall only. The unit
must be secured into wood mounting board.
