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 are 16 inches apart from their centers. 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. Either 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 mount-
ing bracket is level.
