Wall Mounting Guidelines
• The boiler is heavy and bulky. A minimum
of 2 people is required for mounting the
boiler.
• 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.
• The wall-mounting bracket is designed
for stud spacing of 12 inch or 16 inch on
centers. For unconventional stud spacing,
a solid / secure mounting surface must be
provided for installation of the bracket.
• For mounting on wood studs, install the
bracket using the lag screws provided with
the boiler. Ensure both lag screws are
installed securely in the studs.
• For mounting on metal studs, install the
bracket to the studs using 3/16” toggle
bolts and washers.
• For mounting on 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.

Stud Wall Installation
• To distribute the weight of the boiler evenly
when mounting onto a stud wall it is rec-
ommended to use the Esteem 399 Low
NOx Wall Frame kit.
• When using the wall frame to mount the
boiler reference the kit installation instruc-
tions and ensure the frame is securely
fastened to the wall.
• If the structure of wall is questionable,
in supporting a minimum weight of 250
pounds [115 kg.], it is recommended to use
the optional fl oor stand.
