5.3 Mounting the Sunny Boy with the wall mounting bracket
The Sunny Boy is shipped with a T-shaped wall-mounting bracket that is suitable for use with most
walls. The horizontal part of the bracket has 12 holes. Make sure that the wall you choose to mount
the Sunny Boy on is plumb and sturdy enough to support the weight over a long period of time. Be
sure to use the appropriate type of mounting hardware for the wall material. Ensure that the hardware
is no smaller than ¼ in.

Multiple Sunny Boy units installed in areas with high ambient temperatures
The individual Sunny Boy units must be far enough apart to ensure that the individual Sunny
Boy units do not take in the cooling air of the neighboring unit.
If necessary, increase the clearances and make sure there is enough ventilation to ensure
sufficient cooling of the Sunny Boy units.
