III. Pre-Installation and Boiler Mounting G. General (continued)
a. The boiler front is accessible through a
door.
b. Access is provided to the condensate trap
located on the left side of boiler.
c. Access is provided to thermal link located
at the boiler rear (ALP285B only).
6. Boiler Wall Hung Installation:
a. If the boiler is installed on a framed wall,
minimum acceptable framing is 2 x 4 studs
on 16” centers. The boiler mounting holes
are on 16” centers for installation between
two studs at the standard spacing. In
cases where the boiler cannot be centered
between the studs, or where the studs
are spaced closer than 16” apart, the
boiler may be anchored to ¾” plywood or
horizontal 2 x 4’s anchored to the studs.
b. Locate Wall Mounting Bracket Kit carton
(P/N 102988-01) enclosed inside boiler
carton. The kit contains Wall Mounting
Bracket, Bottom Securing Bracket, (4) 5/16”
x 2” long hex head lag screws, (4) 5/16”
flat plated washers and (2) #8 x ½” Phillips
round head sheet metal screws.
c. 5/16 in. x 2 in. lag screws and 5/16 in.
plated washers are intended for mounting
the boiler directly onto studs covered
with ½ in. drywall. 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.
Alpine boiler approximate dry
weights:
ALP080BW – 98 lbs; ALP105BW – 112 lbs;
ALP150BW – 136 lbs: ALP210BW – 150 lbs
Two people are required to safely lift these
boilers onto the installed wall mounting
bracket.
Make sure that wall mounting bracket is
anchored to a structure capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler and attached piping
when filled with water. Jurisdictions in areas
subject to earthquakes may have special
requirements for supporting these boilers.
Such local requirements take precedence over
the requirements shown below.
