Wall-mounting the boiler

Remove boiler from crate
The boiler is heavy
or cause bodily injury while lifting and handling. Verify
that the boiler is securely attached to prevent possibility
of boiler falling after installation.
After the boiler is removed from the shipping carton,
allow the boiler to sit on its bottom. This would
DO NOT
cause pressure on protruding plastic, resulting in interior
damage. Either lay the boiler on its back or leave on the
styrofoam protective shipping base.
Do not drop boiler or bump jacket on floor or pallet.
Damage to boiler can result.
Cold weather handling — If boiler has been stored in a
very cold location (below 0°F) before installation, handle
with care until the plastic components come to room
temperature.
1. The ECO boiler is generally easier to handle and maneuver after
removing the shipping container.
2. Remove items 1, 2, 3 and 5 in Figure 3. Remove trim kit and parts
from item 2.
3.
Leave the boiler resting on the styrofoam protective base
(item 6) and bottom cardboard cap (item 7), until ready to place
on the wall. If removing the boiler from the shipping base, rest the
boiler on its back, NOT on its bottom.
Wall-mounting requirements
DO NOT attempt to attach the wall mount bracket using
anchors or any means other than directly securing to the
wall studs (or equivalent wood structure if studs are not
on 16-inch centers).
The wall must be vertically plumb and capable of
carrying the weight of the boiler and any attached
piping components
The operating weights for wall-mountable boilers are:
ECO 70: 105 pounds
ECO 110: 94 pounds
ECO 155: 120 pounds
Failure to comply with above and the procedure given
below could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
1. Stud spacing: Bracket holes are spaced for studs on 16-inch centers.
For other stud spacing, provide secure, solid mounting surface on
which to attach the boiler wall-mounting bracket. The mounting
surface must not extend above the top of the boiler jacket.
2. Wood stud wall: Install bracket with lag screws (3/8" x 3") included
in kit, only into the studs.
3. Metal stud wall: Secure bracket and spacer board to studs with 3/16-
inch toggle bolts and 3/16-inch flat washers (not included with kit).
Verify that the studs are suitable for carrying a wall-
mounted load. Some metal studs are not designed for
this purpose.
4. If the mounting wall has exposed studs, installer must provide a
backer board to mount boiler. Boiler cannot be leveled without a
backing surface.
5. Mount the boiler on the wall following these instructions. The
boiler mounting studs must engage with the wall-mount bracket.
Make sure the bracket is not just resting on the edge of the
mounting stud or washer. Perform all procedures given in the Boiler
Manual on previous pages before mounting the boiler.
