V Mounting The Boiler
CAUTION
This boiler weighs approximately 110 pounds:
Two people are required to safely lift this boiler onto the wall mounting hook.•
Make sure that wall mounting hook is anchored to a structure capable of supporting the •
weight of the boiler and attached piping when fi lled with water.
Jurisdictions in areas subject to earthquakes may have special requirements for supporting
this boiler. These local requirements take precedence over the requirements shown below.
Mounting Steps:
If the boiler is installed on a framed wall, minimum acceptable framing are 2 x 4 studs. The boiler 1)
mounting holes are on 11-5/8” centers. Usually the wall studs will be on 16” centers. In such cases, both
boiler bracket mounting holes must be anchored to ¾” Plywood, horizontal 2 x 4s anchored to the studs,
or some other framing system capable of supporting the boiler. Attachment of either bracket hole to
wallboard alone is unacceptable.
When mounting this boiler directly onto studs covered with 1/2” wall board, 5/16 x 2” lag screws are 2)
recommended. When the boiler is attached to other types of construction, such as masonry, use fasteners
capable of supporting the weight of the boiler and attached piping in accordance with good construction
practice and applicable local codes.
Make sure that the surface to which the boiler is mounted is plumb.3)
Before mounting the boiler, make sure that wall selected does not have any framing or other construction 4)
that will interfere with the vent pipe penetration.
Tape the paper template to the wall in the chosen location. Be sure to level the template.5)
Pre-drill two holes in the center of the “oval” slots on the mounting bracket sized for the hardware being 6)
used.
Mount the bracket to the wall. Be sure to level the bracket by adjusting the screw in the vertical slot.7)
Pre-drill the remaining hole in the mounting bracket and secure the fi nal screw.8)
Cut the opening in the wall for the vent system. The recommended hole diameter for the standard 9)
60/100mm venting is 4-3/8”.
Hang the boiler on the wall bracket as shown in Figure 5.2.10)
Verify that the front and sides of the boiler are plumb.11)
See Section VII (“Venting) for instructions on attaching the vent system to the boiler. 12)
A hot water boiler installed above radiation level or as the Authority having jurisdiction,
must be provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part of the boiler or at the time of installation.
