When installing the BWX 8415 on an outdoor wall, ensure that the wall and mounting hardware (anchor
bolts) chosen to mount the BS are capable of supporting both the static weight of the BS and the lateral
load, resulting from wind loading and that the installation adheres to all local building and safety codes.

Wind Loading: 170 lbs. with 100 mile/h lateral thrust (77 kg with 161 km/h lateral thrust)
Ice Loading: The BS can operate with up to .75 in (1.9 cm) thick buildup of ice without sustaining
damage.
