Mounting:
DriSteem recommends using 3/8" (M10) fasteners.
• Wood stud wall, recommended mounting — two horizontal 2 × 4s (100
mm × 50 mm timbers) with center line spaced at dimension shown in Table
12-1.
– Three-heater models: lag bolt (coach screw) both horizontal 2 × 4s (100
mm × 50 mm timbers) to two vertical studs (16"
[404 mm] on center)
– Six-heater and nine-heater models: lag bolt (coach screw) to three studs
– 12-heater models: lag bolt (coach screw) to four studs
Lag bolt (coach screw) wall brackets to the horizontal 2 × 4s
(100 mm × 50 mm timbers). Locate the wall brackets so they are fl ush to
the front and back fl anges of the tank.
• Metal stud wall — follow the same 2 × 4 wood stud (100 mm × 50 mm
timber) wall guidelines, but provide a second set of 2 × 4s (100 mm × 50
mm timbers) on the backside of the wall. Run a bolt with a washer through
the face 2 × 4 (100 mm × 50 mm timber), the metal stud, and the backside
2 × 4 (100 mm × 50 mm timber) with washer and nut to connect the 2 × 4s
(100 mm × 50 mm timbers). DriSteem does not recommend mounting the
nine-heater and 12-heater models on a metal stud wall — use support legs.
• Concrete or block walls — use concrete anchors (expansion bolts) rated for
the operating weight of the Vaporstream humidifi er. Locate the wall brackets
so they are fl ush to the front and back fl anges of the tank.
Shim or adjust mounting so the tank sets level from side to side and front to
back. Verify level after the tank is fi lled and is at operating weight.
