Handling Instructions

The PRESTIGE is generally easier to handle
and maneuver once removed from the shipping
carton.
To remove the shipping carton:
CAUTION
Use care not to lift the unit from, or place
the unit on the front plastic control
panel, damage can occur. Use care not to
drop, bump or rotate the boiler upside
down, as damage to the boiler will result.
1. Remove any shipping straps and open the
side of the shipping carton.
2. Slide the unit with the foam inserts out of
the carton.
3. Discard all packing materials.

Wall Mounting Installation

1. The PRESTIGE should be wall mounted
using the bracket provided with the boiler.
The PRESTIGE is not designed for floor
installation. If floor installation is required
an optional floor stand is available through
Triangle Tube.
WARNING
The wall used for mounting the PRES-
TIGE must be vertically plumbed and
capable of supporting a minimum 175
pounds [80 kg]. Failure to comply with
these requirements could result in per-
sonal injury, death or substantial prop-
erty damage.

Wall Mounting Guidelines

1. The wall-mounting bracket is designed for
stud spacing of 12 inch or 16 inch on cen-
ters. For unconventional stud spacing, a
solid / secure mounting surface must be
provided for installation of the bracket.
2. For applications using wood studs, install
the bracket using the lag screws provided
with the boiler. Ensure both lag screws are
installed securely in the studs.
3. For applications using metal studs, install
the bracket to the studs using 3/16" toggle
bolts and washers.
4. DO NOT mount or attempt to mount the
wall bracket to hollow sheet rock or lathe
walls using anchors. Only install boiler to
studs or equivalent wood structure.
5. For applications using solid walls (rock,
concrete, brick, cinder block, etc.), install
the wall bracket using anchors (double
expansion shields) and bolts with washers
provided with the boiler.
6. The boiler is too heavy and bulky for a sin-
gle person to lift and attempt to mount; a
minimum of 2 people is required for
mounting the boiler.
WARNING
Use extreme care not to drop the boiler
or cause bodily injury while lifting or
mounting the boiler onto the bracket.
Once mounted verify that the boiler is
securely attached to the bracket and
wall. Failure to comply with the above
guidelines could result in property dam-
age, personal injury or death.

Wall Bracket Installation - Stud Walls

1. Locate the studs in the general area of the
boiler placement.
2. Place the wall-mounting bracket on the
wall centering the mounting slots with the
stud centers and ensuring the upper edge of
the bracket is away from the wall.
3. Level the bracket, while maintaining it's
centering with the studs and use a pencil to
mark the location of the mounting slots.
