Attaching To Wall Stud Method
For attaching heater to wall studs
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 9/64"
drill bit. Holes must be level to prevent com-
plications with front panel.
2. Tighten screws until screw head is 1/8" away
from wall.
Attaching To Wall Anchor Method
For attaching heater to hollow walls (wall areas be-
tween studs) or solid walls (concrete or masonry).
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16"
drill bit. Holes must be level to prevent com-
plications with front panel. For solid walls
(concrete or masonry), drill at least 1" deep.
2. Fold wall anchor as shown in Figure 7.
3. Insert wall anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap
anchor flush to wall.
4. For thin walls (1/2" 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" thick) or solid
walls, do not pop open wings.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: A qualified service
person must connect heater to gas
supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: For natural
gas, never connect heater to
private (non-utility) gas wells.
This gas is commonly known
as wellhead gas.
IMPORTANT: For natural gas, check gas line
pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas
line pressure must be no greater than 10.5" of wa-
ter. If gas line pressure is higher, heater regulator
damage could occur.
