B. WALL MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS
These boilers are wall mounted. Use only the wall mounting instructions included in this manual.
Ensure the wall that the boiler
is intended to be mounted on is comprised of cement, brick, block, or wooden studs spaced 16” apart
from center. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting at least 250 lbs (115 kg) for EFT-55 – 110 models, 300 lbs (136 kg) for EFT-155 –
285 models, and 500 lbs (227 kg) for EFT-399.
If flooding is possible, elevate the boiler to prevent floodwater from reaching the boiler.
Ensure the boiler is installed in a location that minimizes the risk of water damage due to leaking valves, pumps, unions, etc.
The mounting location must be capable of carrying the weight of the boiler and its related components. If the mounting location cannot
support a minimum of 250 lbs. (115 kg), it is recommended to locate the boiler in a mounting location that can support the minimum
weight. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount the boiler could result in substantial property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
C. WALL MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
This boiler is too heavy for one person to lift. It is highly recommended to install the boiler with two people. Use caution as to not drop
the boiler, which could damage the boiler and cause property damage and/or severe personal injury. Verify that the boiler is properly
and securely mounted before leaving unsupervised. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount the boiler could result in
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 6 – Wall Mounting Bracket – NOTE: Drawing for Demonstration Purposes ONLY
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 boiler could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
DO NOT use the bolts included in shipping for wall mounting the boiler. Doing so may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death.
1. MOUNTING TO A WOOD STUDDED WALL
a. The building frame (studs) must be 2 X 4 minimum and
16” on center (24” on the EFT-399). If not, you must use ½” minimum
plywood 24” x 48” with at least fourteen (14) #12 x 3” (3/16” x 3”) round head tapping screws to the frame of the building to provide
proper support for the boiler. No alternate methods of mounting or fastening (ex. Toggle bolts, hollow wall anchors, or any other
fastener) may be used.
