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 hol -
low walls (wall areas between studs) or to solid walls
(concrete 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.
