firmly fastened to wall studs.
Attaching To Wall Anchor Method
For attaching mounting bracket to hollow walls
(wall areas between studs) or solid walls (concrete

1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16"
drill bit. For solid walls (concrete or masonry),
drill at least 1" deep.
2. Fold wall anchor as shown in Figure 11.
3. Insert wall anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap
anchor flush to wall.
4. For thin walls [1/2" (1.3 cm) or less], insert red
key into wall anchor. Push red key to “pop” open
anchor wings. IMPORTANT: Do not hammer
key! For thick walls [over 1/2" (1.3 cm) thick]
or solid walls, do not pop open wings.

Methods For Attaching Mounting Bracket
To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting bracket
to attach bracket to wall. These two holes centers are
13" (33 cm) apart. Attach mounting bracket to wall
in one of two ways:
1. Attaching to wall stud
2. Attaching to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud: This method provides the
strongest hold. Insert mounting screws through
mounting bracket and into wall studs.
Attaching to Wall Anchor: This method allows you
to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall
areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete
or masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs.
Either method will provide a secure hold for the
mounting bracket.
Marking Screw Locations
1. Tape mounting bracket to wall where heater
will be located. Make sure mounting bracket
is level.
WARNING: Maintain mini-
mum clearances shown in Figure
10. If you can, provide greater
clearances from floor and join-
ing wall.
2. Mark screw locations on wall (see Figure 10).
Note: Only mark last hole on each end of
mounting bracket. Insert mounting screws
through these holes only.
3. Remove tape and mounting bracket from
wall.
