2.6 Clearances
The GWH-635-ES is design certified for installation on
a combustible wall (see 2.7 Mounting installation)
provided the floor covering below the heater is
noncombustible. For installations in an alcove or closet,
maintain the minimum clearances to combustible and
non-combustible materials listed below. See also Fig. 5.
A. Top 12 inches (306 mm)
B. Front 1 inches (25 mm)
C. Back 0 inches
D. Sides 1 inches (25 mm)
E. Bottom 12 inches (306 mm)
Clearances from any exhaust vent pipe are dependent
upon the clearance requirements of the stainless steel
vent pipe manufacturer. Single wall stainless steel
(AL29-4C) vent pipe (vent type rated for Category III
appliances) must be used when exhaust venting this
appliance. See 2.9 Venting.
2.7 Mounting installation
The GWH-635-ES is design certified for mounting on a
wall. Secure the wall mounting bracket provided with
the heater to a wall surface. See Fig. 6.
Do not install this appliance on a carpet ed wall or over
floor covering which is comb ustible, such as carpet.
The heater must be mounted on a wall using
appropriate anchoring materials.
If the mounting bracket is unable to line up on two wall
studs it is recommended that support board(s), either
1x4's or ½" (minimum) plywood first be attached across
a pair of studs and then the heater should be attached
to the support boards. The heater should be kept level
on the wall surface. See Fig. 6.
Expansion and contraction of piping due to changing
water temperature in the pipes imparts movement to the
heater whi ch, if mounted directly to a brittle, friable
board, such as plasterboard, can cause failure of
mounting.
Before installing the unit, be certain you have the
correct heater for your type of G as - Propane or
Natural Gas. Ide ntification la bels are found on the
shipping box, and on the rating plate which is located on
the right side panel of the cover.
