Wall-mounting the boiler
(continued)

Place boiler on wall-mount bracket
Wall-mounting requirements
The wall-mounting kit is NOT supplied with the boiler, and must be
purchased separately.
2. Verify kit contents:
a. Wall-mount bracket
b. Lag screws, 3/8”hex head x 3” (2)
3. Verify mounting location:
a. Wood stud wall: install bracket with lag screws included in
kit, directly into the studs.
b. Metal stud wall: secure bracket to studs with 3/16” toggle
bolts and flat washers (not included with kit).
Verify that the studs are suitable for carrying a wall-
mounted load. Some metal studs are not designed for
this purpose.
Wall-mounting instructions
1. Locate studs. Bracket holes are spaced for 16” center studs. For
other stud spacing, provide secure, solid mounting structure on
which to attach the wall-mounting bracket.
DO NOT attempt to attach the wall mount bracket using
anchors or any means other than directly securing to the
wall studs (or equivalent wood structure if studs are not
on 16-inch centers).
The boiler must be vertically plumb and capable of
carrying the weight of the boiler and any attached
components
.
The operating weights for
Evergreen
®
models are:
Evergreen 220
:
190 pounds
Evergreen 299/300:
255 pounds
Evergreen 399:
255 pounds
Failure to comply with above and the procedure given
below could result in severe personal injury, death or
substantial property damage.
2. Optional – If boiler is being mounted on drywall or similar sur-
face, provide spacer boards to be installed as shown in Figure 4
and Figure 5. The boards must be a minimum of ½” thick.
Prepare upper board by tracing the mounting slots on the board,
and drilling two ¼” through holes in the center of the outlines.
Skip to step 5.
3. Place the wall-mount bracket on the wall so that the mounting
slots are centered over the studs (see Figure 4). If using a backing
board, skip this step.
4. Level the bracket using a level and trace the outline of the screw
slots with a pencil. If using a backing board, skip this step.
5. Remove the wall-mounting bracket and drill ¼” diameter by 3”
deep holes, centered in the bracket slot outlines. For metal stud
walls using 3/16” toggle bolts, drill required clearance holes. If
using a backing board, use the upper board as a template to drill
two (2) ¼” by 3” deep holes into the wall studs.
6. Position the bracket (and upper spacer board, if used) on the
wall. Insert and loosely tighten the two (2) lag screws (or toggle
bolts for metal studs).
7. Level the wall-mounting bracket, and tighten lag screws so
bracket is secured. For installations using a backing board, avoid
over-tightening the screws to avoid damage to the wall surface.
1 Studs — Pre-drill through the wall into the studs ¼ inch diameter x 3
inches deep — Studs must be on 16-inch centers. If studs are any other
spacing, provide a secure, solid mounting surface on which to attach
the boiler wall-mounting bracket.
2 Wall-mount bracket — secure wall mount bracket and space bar to
wall as instructed on previous page.
3 Upper spacer board — (Recommended for drywall or plaster lathe)
4 Boiler mounting bracket — The two slots in the bracket on back of
boiler must engage with the two tabs on the wall bracket. This piece is
attached to the boiler. (The boiler is not shown to improve clarity.)
5 Lower space board — Provide lower spacer board pre-drilled with two
clearance holes, spaced on 16 inch centers. Board must be
minimum
½ inch thick by 3½” high by 18 inches long. Use minimum two flat-
head wood screws by 2 inches long to secure the space board securely
to the studs. Clearance holes should large enough to clear the shaft of
the flat-head wood screws used to secure the board to the studs.
(RECOMMENDED
for drywall or plaster lathe).
6 Flat-head wood screws by 2” long.
7 Floor surface.
8 RECOMMENDED mounting height — for garage installations.
