Water heater mounting
NOTE:
Please, use accessories, provided by the manufacturer, to install the
water heater. Electric water heater must not be mounted on a wall prior
you make sure that the bracket is installed firmly and securely.
Otherwise the electric water heater may fall down from the wall, which
may cause its damage and even serious accidents involving bodily
injury. When determining points for bolt holes, it is necessary to
provision some spare space between the lower part of the water heater
and the floor, and as to the FS2/FS6/FE2 line there also must be some
space between the right side of the water heater and the wall on the
right, not less than 0.6 m to make it convenient to perform maintenance
if necessary.

1 . Electric water heater should be mounted on a firm wall. If the wall is
not robust enough to hold the weight equal to the doubled weight of
the overall water heater weight, fully filled with water, then it should be
mounted on a special support.
2 . After you chose the proper place to install the water heater, determine
points for holes for expansion hook bolts (to be determined in
accordance with the data sheet for the appliance you chose). Drill two
holes of the corresponding depth in the wall using a drill, dimensionally
fit for expansion bolts, enclosed with the water heater, insert bolts, turn
the hook upwards, securely tighten nuts and then hang the electric
water heater on these hooks (see Fig. 8).
3 . Fix a power outlet to the wall. Requirements to the outlet are as
follows: 230V/10A, single-phase, three-wired. It is recommended to
place the outlet on the right side above the water heater.
4 . If a bathroom is too small, the water heater can be installed elsewhere,
unexposed to direct sunlight and unavailable for moisture. However, to
reduce heat losses in pipelines, the location, where a water heater is to
be installed, must be as close to the place, where hot water is used, as
possible.

NOTE:
In places or on the wall, where water may get to, the power outlet
installation height must be not less than 1.8 m.
Connection to water main
1. The heater must be connected to water main with at least 0.1 MPa
pressure; maximum pressure is 0.7 MPa.
NOTE:
The water heater is the appliance, operating in such a manner that
pressure of water in the water heater corresponds to the pressure of
water in water main. If pressure in the main exceeds 0.7 MPa, then it is
necessary to mount a pressure reducer before the water heater so that
pressure doesn't exceed 0.7 MPa.
