Wall Mounting Guidelines

The wall-mounting bracket is designed for stud spacing
of approximate 12 inch or 16 inch on centers. For
unconventional stud spacing, a solid / secure mounting
surface must be provided for installation of the bracket.
1. 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.
2. For applications using metal studs, install the
bracket to the studs using 3/
washers.
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
using 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 people are 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 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
injury, or death.
