IMPORTANT
Hole size and spacing on images are not to scale; they
are for illustrative purposes only.
1. Drill 4 holes spaced out along the length of the left
and right sides of the recess box (Figure 4) (hole sizes
dependent on screw size). The recess box is designed
to fit between two studs and secured through these
holes.
Figure 4
2. Using the supplied piping template (last page in this
document), drill 4 holes in the bottom of the recess
box to accommodate the hot water, cold water, gas
and electric lines. The pressure relief valve (PRV)
location is not identified on the template.
If needed, holes can be drilled on the sides of the
recess box to accommodate the hot water, cold water,
gas and electric lines. Watch for interference with the
framing stud before drilling the holes.
3. Apply a 3/8 in. bead of sealant along the back of the
recess box flange (Figure 5).
Figure 5
Position and secure the recess box to the building
structure with suitable screws (galvanized or stainless
steel) through the 8 holes in the sides (4 holes on the left
side and 4 holes on the right side) (Figure 6).
Seal all sides
