INSTALLATION
WALL INSTALLATION
Select a wall to the exterior of the building. This wall
should have the required clearance to combustibles
inside and out as mentioned in this manual. Make certain
that electrical wires, conduit, water or gas pipes do not
pass through the area you have selected.
A. Step 1 - Mount the wall plate
Note: Any material covering the wall (such as sheet rock)
must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
Option 1: Mounting on a wood-stud wall
1.
Locate the studs in exterior wall. Verify the center
of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder. Mark
center point at predetermined height which meets all
clearance requirements of the appliance. Note: Make
sure that the opening for the exhaust thimble is not
to close to a stud in the wall before the hole is cut.
2. At the wall height that was determined in the previous
step, place a mid-sized nail through the center
triangular shaped hole of the mounting plate to hold
it while the locations of the mounting holes and the
exhaust/intake through hole are marked. Make sure
that the wall mounting plate is flush against the wall,
then level the mounting plate and verify that pilot
holes are centered properly on the studs. Use a pencil
to mark the pilot hole locations, and intake/ exhaust
through hole, then remove the mounting plate from
the wall.
3. Drill the four pilot holes to a depth of 2" (75 mm)
using a 5/32" (3.96 mm) diameter drill bit.
4. Find the center of the through hole for the wall
thimble and drill a pilot hole all the way through the
wall to the exterior with an installer bit. Use this hole
as a center point to cut your hole through the exterior
wall.
5. Carefully cut exhaust/intake through hole in exterior
wall completely through to the outside (see "Vent
Clearances" section to ensure proper installation).
6. Install the wall thimble included with the vent kit to
the manufactures instructions.
7. Realign the wall mount with the pilot holes and
exhaust/intake through hole. Insert the four 1/4" x 2"
lag bolts with washers, and tighten the lag bolts until
the wall mounting bracket is pulled firmly against the
exterior wall.
AVOID POTENTIAL INJURIES OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE! DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE LAG BOLTS.
THIS COULD POTENTIALLY STRIP THE MOUNTING
HOLES AND CAUSE THE BOLTS NOT TO HOLD
3"
[75mm]
Option 2: Mounting on a solid concrete or
concrete block wall
1.
Level the wall plate and mark the hole locations.
2. At the wall height you determined in the previous step,
place a small nail thru center triangle hole of bracket
and align the wall mount against the wall. Level
bracket and verify that pilot holes are not located in
the mortar of the cinder blocks. Use a pencil to mark
the pilot hole locations, and intake/exhaust thru hole
then remove the wall plate.
3. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2" (75 mm) using a
5/32" (3.96 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
4. Carefully cut intake/exhaust thru hole in exterior wall
thru to the outside (see "Vent Clearances" section to
ensure proper installation).
5. Insert 1/4" concrete wall anchors into the pilot holes
and make sure that the anchors are seated flush with
the concrete surface.
6. Align the wall plate with the anchors. Place washers
over the screw holes in the wall plate, insert 1/4" x 2"
lag bolts through the washers, and then tighten the
lag bolts until the washers are pulled firmly against
the wall plate and the wall mount is pulled firmly
against the exterior wall.
B. Step 2 - Mounting the Heating Unit to the
wall plate
Note: The Heating Unit is heavy. You will need assistance
with this step.
1.
Before hanging the unit on the wall bracket the
exhaust/intake transition piece needs to be mounted
