4 Mounting instructions
BThe water heater is approved for installation directly
on an outside wall. Secure the wall mounting bracket
provided with the water heater to a wall surface. See
Fig. 8.
BThe installation method of the mounting bracket will
depend on what type of surface it’s being mounted
on. Due to the varying varieties of building siding or
surfacing, the installer must decide on how best to
support and level the heater on an outside wall. It is
always recommended that horizontal or vertical
support boards or plywood sheathing (1/2”
minimum) first be attached to the wall surface. The
heater must also be kept level on the wall surface.
