Preparing for installation
Sharp edges can cause cuts and injury!
• Always wear protective gloves to avoid in-
juries from sharp edges during installation
work and while handling the appliance.
Preparing the installation site
1. Make sure that the appliance is in contact
with the vehicle floor or a platform with
adequate weight-bearing capacity when
installed.
2. To install on a carpeted area, install a metal
or wood panel under the appliance that
extends at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) beyond the
width and depth of the appliance.
3. If escaping water may damage components
or the vehicle, install a collection pan below
the appliance. Direct the flow of water from
the pan to outside the vehicle.
4. Make sure that the front edge of the open-
ing is surrounded by a solid frame to firmly
anchor the appliance. If needed, build an ap-
propriate frame (Fig. 13) with the following
dimensions:
Width
a = 12.75 in. (324 mm)
Height b = 12.75 in. (324 mm)
Depth c = >17.7 in. (450 mm)

• The required depth “c” depends on
how the water hoses, electrical con-
nection cable, and gas line are instal-
led. The depth “c” must be determined
for the particular situation before
installation.
• The corners of the rough opening
must be at right angles. The exterior
wall opening must be the same di-
mensions with no rounded corners.
• An access door adapter kit is available
for replacing existing water heaters,
with a large cut-out in the outer wall of
the RV. The adapter plate must be in-
stalled before the appliance is installed.
The access door adapter kit includes
detailed installation instructions.
5. Make sure you have suitable screws ready:
• Without access door adapter kit
In order to securely fasten the appliance and
the cover plate, the screws must be suitable
for the chosen frame material and have a
diameter of 0.138 in. (#6) to 0.164 in. (#8).
– Never use countersunk screws
to secure the cover plate, as it will be
damaged (tear). Use pan head screws.
– For the length of the screws follow the
screw manufacturer’s guidelines.
• With access door adapter kit
You must use the 22 screws 0.164 (#8) x
0.51 in. (4.2 x 13 mm) that are included with
the access door adapter kit.
– 14 x for fixing: appliance with adapter plate.
– 8 x for fixing: cover plate with adapter plate.
