MOUNT WATER HEATER ON THE WALL
The EVERHOT® IGE series water heater must be installed outdoors. Refer to Table 1
clearances under overhangs, windows, doors, etc. Also avoid locations where there is heavy
water runoff from roofs. Determine the proper height and location for the water heater to be
installed. Consider the water and gas connections. Allow enough room for servicing the water
heater and maintain the clearances from combustible materials previously stated. The water
heater is supported on the wall by means of a top and bottom slotted angle bracket. For
convenience, the center hole of the bracket is slotted so that a center screw may be first installed
in the wall for hanging the water heater on the wall. Two more screws are then added on the
ends of the bracket to secure the water heater. Wall anchors should be used for the bracket
holes unless the bracket lines up with a stud. As an alternative, a suitable piece of plywood or
2x4 wooden support may be cut to span the wall studs and the brackets. Make sure the anchors
are rated to support the 50 pound (23 kg) weight of the water heater.
