CHAPTER 3 - UNIT PREPARATIONS

3.1.

Handling Instructions

The PRESTIGE Excellence is generally easier to handle
and maneuver once removed from the shipping carton.
To remove the shipping carton:
NOTICE
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.
3.2.

Wall Mounting Installation

The PRESTIGE Excellence should be wall mounted us-
ing the bracket provided with the boiler. The PRESTIGE
Excellence is not designed for floor installation. If floor
installation is required, an optional floor stand is avail-
able through ACV-Triangle Tube. The PRESTIGE Excel-
lence is not to be installed on carpeting
WARNING
The wall used for mounting the PRESTIGE
Excellence must be vertically plumb and ca-
pable of supporting a minimum 250 pounds
[115 kg]. Failure to comply with these re-
quirements can result in substantial property
damage, serious injury, or death.
3.3.

Wall Mounting Guidelines

The wall-mounting bracket is designed for stud spac-
ing of 12 inch or 16 inch on centers. For unconvention-
al stud spacing, a solid / secure mounting surface must
be provided for installation of the bracket.
1. For applications using wood studs, install the brack-
et using the lag screws provided with the boiler.
Ensure both lag screws are installed securely in the
studs.
2. For applications using metal studs, install the brack-
et to the studs using 3/16" toggle bolts and wash-
ers.
3. DO NOT mount or attempt to mount the wall
bracket to hollow sheet rock or lath walls using
anchors. Only install boiler to studs or equivalent
wood structure.
4. For applications using solid walls (rock, concrete,
brick, cinder block, etc.), install the wall bracket us-
ing anchors (double expansion shields) and bolts
with washers provided with the boiler.
5. The boiler is too heavy and bulky for a single person
to lift and attempt to mount; a minimum of 2 peo-
ple are required for mounting the boiler.
WARNING
Use extreme care not to drop the boiler or
cause bodily injury while lifting or mount-
ing the boiler onto the wall bracket. Once
mounted, verify that the boiler is securely
attached to the bracket and wall. Failure to
comply with the above guidelines can result
in substantial property damage, serious inju-
ry, or death.
