REMOVE CARTON
Move water heater to a location near where it will be installed. Carefully slide water heater out from the
carton and remove all the contents.
MOUNT WATER HEATER ON THE WALL
This water heater must be installed outdoors. Refer to Table 3 clearances under overhangs, windows,
doors, etc. Also, avoid locations where there is heavy water run-off from roofs. Determine the proper
height and location for the water heater to be installed. Consider the water and gas connections. Allow
enough room for servicing the water heater and maintain the clearances from combustible materials.
The water heater is supported on the wall by means of a top and bottom slotted angle bracket. For
convenience, the center hole of the bracket is slotted so that a center screw may be first installed in the
wall for hanging the water heater on the wall. Two more screws are then added on the ends of the
bracket to secure the water heater. Wall anchors should be used for the bracket holes unless the bracket
lines up with a stud. As an alternative, a suitable piece of plywood may be cut to span the wall studs and
the brackets fastened to the plywood. Make sure the anchors are rated to support the 55 pound (25 kg)
weight of the water heater.
The recommended minimum clearance for servicing is 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the water
heater.
