Attaching Mounting Bracket to Wall
Use holes on each end of mounting bracket to attach
bracket to wall. These holes are 16 inches apart. Attach
mounting bracket to wall in one of two following ways.
1. Attach to wall studs
2. Attach to wall anchor
Attaching to Wall Stud:
This way is the best providing the strongest mounting in
wood frame houses.
Attaching to Wall Anchor:
This way allows you to attach mounting bracket to hollow
walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls (con-
crete or masonry).
Decide which way best suits your needs. Either method
will provide a secure hold for the mounting bracket.
1. Tape mounting bracket to wall where heater will
be located. Make sure mounting bracket is level.
For wall stud mounting locate one end of the
mounting bracket over a wall stud.
WARNING: Maintain minimum clearances
shown in figure 7. If you can, provide greater
clearances from the floor and joining wall.
2. Mark screw locations on wall (see figure 7).
3. Remove tape and mount bracket from wall.
Figure 7
Attaching to Wall Stud:
For attaching mounting bracket to wall studs
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 9/64” drill
bit.
2. Place mounting bracket onto wall. Line up holes
on each end of bracket with hole drilled in wall.
3. Insert mounting screws through bracket and into
wall studs.
4. Tighten screws until mounting bracket is firmly
fastened to wall studs.
Attaching to Wall using Anchor:
For attaching mounting bracket to hollow walls (wall
areas between studs) or solid walls (concrete or ma-
sonry)
Note: Wall anchors, mounting screws, and spacer
are in hardware package. The hardware package is
provided with heater.
1. Drill holes at marked locations using 5/16” drill
bit. For solid walls (concrete or masonry), drill
at least 1” deep.
2. Fold wall anchor as shown in figure 8 below.
Figure 8.
3. Insert wall anchor (wings first) into hole. Tap
anchor flush to wall.
4. For thin walls (1/2” or less) insert red key into
wall anchor.
5. Place mounting bracket onto wall. Line up holes
on each end of bracket with wall anchors.
6. Insert mounting screws through bracket and into
wall anchors.
7. Tighten screws until mounting bracket is firmly
fastened to wall.
