Part 1 - General Safety Information
Part 3 - Prepare the Boiler for Installation
D. Wall Mounting Considerations
These boilers are wall mounted. Use only the wall mounting instructions
included with this boiler.
Ensure the wall that the boiler is intended to be mounted on is
comprised of cement, brick, block, or wooden studs spaced 16" apart
from center. Ensure the wall is capable of supporting at least 150 lbs
(68 kgs).
If flooding is possible, elevate the boiler to prevent floodwater from
reaching the boiler.
Ensure the boiler is installed in a location that minimizes the risk of
water damage due to leaking valves, pumps, unions, etc.
The boiler may be installed on any suitable internal wall (suitable sound-
proofing may be required when installing onto a stud partition wall).
WARNING
Ensure that the structure of the installation location is sufficient to
support the full installed weight of the boiler, including water content
of the heat exchanger and related piping and components. If the
mounting location cannot support a minimum of 150 lbs. (68 kg), it
is recommended to locate the boiler in a mounting location that can
support the minimum weight. Failure to ensure the structure of the
installation location is structurally sound before installation of the
boiler and properly mount the boiler can result in structural failure,
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Do not mount the boiler to a hollow wall.
E. Wall Mounting Instructions
WARNING
This boiler is too heavy for one person to lift. It is highly recommended
to install the boiler with two people. Use caution as to not drop the
boiler, which could damage the boiler and cause property damage
and/or severe personal injury. Verify that the boiler is properly and
securely mounted before leaving unsupervised. Failure to comply with
the above and properly mount the boiler could result in substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

1. Mounting to a Concrete Wall

1. Position the upper wall mounting bracket on the concrete wall.
Ensure the bracket is level. Then use the bracket as a template to mark
four (4) drilling holes on the wall - two (2) on each side of the bracket.
See Figure 5 for details.
2. Drill and plug the wall. Then secure the upper mounting bracket
using the provided Fischer S 10x50screws. Ensure the bracket is level.
3. Install the lower mounting bracket on the boiler. Then hang the
boiler on the upper mounting bracket. Ensure the boiler is level. Then
use the lower bracket to mark the lower bracket drilling holes.
4. Drill and plug the wall and secure the lower mounting bracket using
field provided screws. Then adjust the lower mounting bracket on the
boiler. Ensure the boiler is installed plumb. Tighten the bracket to the
boiler.

WARNING
This wall mounting system is not seismic rated and should not be
applied as such. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount
the boiler could result in substantial property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Use extreme care not to drop the boiler or cause bodily injury while
lifting or mounting the boiler onto the wall mount bracket.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate all installation conditions. These
instructions and included parts may not apply to wall-mounting the
appliance at your installation location. The appliance must be properly
and securely mounted by a qualified installer according to installation
conditions, the technical specifications of the appliance, and to
meet AHJ / building code requirements. All applicable permits must
be obtained before installing the appliance. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury,
or death. Any damages resulting from improper installation are not
covered by product warranty.

2. Mounting to a Wood Studded Wall

CAUTION
If the boiler is not installed upright, vertically plumb, and level,
improper and unsatisfactory operation may occur, causing excessive
condensation build-up, nuisance fault codes, and unnecessary
maintenance.
1. Position the upper wall mounting bracket on the wall. Ensure the
bracket is level and the drilling holes are on stud. Then use the bracket as
a template to mark four (4) drilling holes on the wall - two (2) on each side
of the bracket. See Figure 6 for details.
2. Drill and plug the wall. Then secure the upper mounting bracket using
the provided (Fischer S 10x50) screws and field provided washers for
wood mounting.
3. Install the lower mounting bracket on the boiler. Then hang the boiler
on the upper mounting bracket. Ensure the boiler is level. Then use the
lower bracket to mark the lower bracket drilling holes.
4. Drill and plug the wall and secure the lower mounting bracket using
field provided screws. Then adjust the lower mounting bracket on the
boiler. Ensure the boiler is installed plumb. Tighten the bracket to the
boiler.

F. Residential Garage and Closet Installations
CAUTION
Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for requirements
when installing boiler in a garage or closet. Please read the entire
manual before attempting installation. Failure to properly take factors
such as boiler venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into
account before installation could result in wasted time, money, and
possible property damage and personal injury.
