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 are 14" apart from their centers. 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 mount-
ing bracket is level.
WARNING: Maintain mini-
mum clearances shown in Figure
8, page 10. If you can, provide
greater clearances from floor
and joining wall.
