A.
Position heater into framed opening. Slide unit into opening until the front of the control housing is flush with the exterior
coach skin as illustrated.
B.
Secure the control housing to the coach wall (framed opening) at the top and sides of control housing compartment
using screws or other suitable fasteners. Recess the screws or fasteners back far enough from the front edge of the
control housing (approximately 1 1/2”) in order to clear the flange on the door frame. The door frame, when installed,
must not overlap onto screw or other fastener head. If due to the wall thickness, it is not possible to secure the water
heater without covering the fastener head with the door frame, it is important to not over tighten the fastener and distort
the control housing. Over tightening of the fastener may cause leaks between the control housing and the door frame.
NOTE: Caulk around screw or fastener heads to assure water tight seal.
C. Install chocks, one on each side of water heater, as illustrated in Figure 1A.
D.
On mesa or yoder type sidewalls, flatten the wall area around the opening.
E. Caulk around framed opening as illustrated in Figure 2.
F.
Caulk around door frame using 2 beads of silicone caulking (or suitable caulking) one on the flange to seal the control
housing and one around back side of frame to seal to coach skin. (See detail A in Figure 2)
G.
Insert door frame into control housing and secure with four (4) No. 8-15 x 3 1/2” screws provided for 10 and 12 gallon
applications and (3) No. 8-15 x 3 1/2” screws provided for 4 & 6 gallon applications.
H.
To install door, place the two holes in the bottom of the door over the door pins on the frame. Close the door so that the
latch protrudes through the slot in the door. Turn latch 90 degrees to fasten door closed.
