NOTE: See pages 12 and 13 for installing an air intake through

SECURING WATER HEATER TO FLOOR AND WALL
The water heater must be secured to the oor and to the wall of the
enclosure with the three mounting brackets and screws packaged in
the carton with the water heater. The two small brackets are used to
attach the water heater to the oor and the one large bracket is used
to secure the top of the water heater to the wall.
Because of installation variances these brackets can be located at
any points around the circumference of the jacket. When the bracket
locations are determined using the 1/8 inch drill bit for a pattern, drill
only through the outer jacket of the water heater. Then using the
screws provided, secure the bracket to the water heater, oor and
wall, see Figure 12.
