SECURING WATER HEATER TO FLOOR AND WALL

The water heater must be secured to the floor and to the wall of the
enclosure with the three mounting brackets and screws packaged in the
carton with the water heater. The two small brackets stamped #0110064
are used to attach the water heater to the floor and the one large bracket
#0110063 is used to secure the top of the water heater to the wall.
Because of installation variances these brackets can be located at any
points around the circumference of the jacket. When the bracket locations
are determined using the 1/8 inch drill bit for a pattern, drill only through
the outer jacket of the water heater. Then using the screws provided,
secure the bracket to the water heater, floor and wall, see Figure 12.
