4.5 Outside Mount (Optional)
Hired-Hand heaters are available in Outside Mount (OSM) models. These heaters are designed to be mounted to
the outside wall of a building. This saves valuable space inside the building and ensures fresh air intake for the
heater. If you have purchased one of our OSM heaters, please read the following before installing your new heater.
1. Before disposing of the box, cut the installation template
from the side.
2. Position template on outside of building where heater is
to be mounted. Be sure the template is level.
3. Drill 6.3 mm (1/4 ″) holes through all 8 X’s shown on
template. NOTE: Opening for duct measures 254 mm
(10
″) width (W) x 254mm (10″) height (H). See Detail A.
4. Locate 4 X’s for thru-wall extension duct and cut from
one hole to the next until opening is removed. See Detail
A.
5. If additional support is needed, add support by fastening
two '2 x 4' boards on outside of wall where heater
support brackets are to be positioned. The two '2 x 4'
boards are to be fastened to studs inside the wall. See
Detail B.
6. Assemble heater support bracket as shown in Detail C.
7. Attach Insert thru-wall extension duct assembly through
opening in wall. The ‘varmint’ flap, located inside the
thru-wall extension duct, should be positioned as shown

and fasten around exhaust outlet on front of heater with
sheet metal screws provided.

be level before heater is set in place.
10. Slide thru-wall extension duct assembly into flange,
and secure with sheet metal screws.
11. Place outer flashing seal around thru-wall extension
duct and secure with sheet metal screws to inside
of wall.

flange, then bend deflectors until they force heated
air in the desired direction.
