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. 9.
B The installation method of the mounting bracket will
depend on the type of mounting surface. Due to the
varieties of building siding or surfacing, the installer
must decide how best to support and level the heater
on an outside wall. It is 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.
