Methods For Attaching Mounting
Bracket To Wall
Only use last hole on each end of mounting bracket
to attach bracket to wall. These two holes centers are
13 inches apart for the 20,000 and 30,000 Btu/Hr
units and 9 inches apart for the 10,000 Bru/Hr units.
Attach mounting bracket to wall in one of two ways:
1. Attaching to wall stud
2. Attaching to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud: This method provides the
strongest hold. Insert mounting screws through
mounting bracket and into wall studs.
Attaching to Wall Anchor: This method allows you
to attach mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall
areas between studs) or to solid walls (concrete or
masonry).
Decide which method better suits your needs. Ei-
ther method will provide a secure hold for the
mounting bracket.
Marking Screw Locations
1. Tape mounting bracket to wall where heater
will be located. Make sure mounting bracket
is level.
WARNING: Maintain mini-
mum clearances shown in Fig-
ure 8, page 10. If you can, provide
greater clearances from floor
and joining wall.
