SECURING WATER HEATER TO FLOOR AND WALL

The water heater must be secured to the floor 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 floor 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, floor and wall, see Figure 12.
