4 Mounting instructions
B The water heater is approved for installation directly
on an outside wall. Secure the wall mounting bracket
provided with the water heater to a wall surface. See
Fig. 7.
B The installation method of the mounting bracket will
depend on what type of surface it’s being mounted
on. Due to the varying varieties of building siding or
surfacing, the installer must decide on how best to
support and level the heater on an outside wall. It is
always recommended that horizontal or vertical
support boards or plywood sheathing (1/2”
minimum) first be attached to the wall surface. The
heater must also be kept level on the wall surface.

heater installation manual.
B Start and operate the water heater according to the
water heater installation manual. NOTE: Open the
control panel shield to access the controls of the

Warning: Do not mount heater directly
to vinyl siding. With vinyl siding, a 6' x 4'
area of the siding must first be removed
and then replaced with wood or other
non-plastic material. See Fig. 8.
Warning: Confirm that the water
heater is appropriately grounded and
that the installation meets all applicable
electrical codes for outdoor
installations.
