Installation
WARNING
Standing water in XTSB
Make sure the XTSB is installed plumb. If
it is not installed plumb, standing water
can accumulate, which can:
• cause bacteria and mold growth, which
can cause illness;
• affect XTSB performance;
• cause 212 °F (100 °C) water to
discharge from the XTSB, which can
cause severe personal injury.
Wall mounting XTSB
The XTSB is constructed with a pitch toward the drain; however,
it must be installed level and plumb for proper drainage. See the
Warning at left.
Follow the instructions below for your wall type:
• Wood studs 16" (406 mm) on center:
Attach a spanner board to the wall with screws centered on
the studs. Mark hole locations on the spanner board using the
dimensions in Table 40-1, and predrill 1/8" (3 mm) diameter pilot
holes. Secure the XTSB to the spanner board with the bolts
provided.
• Metal studs 16" (406 mm) on center:
Mark hole locations at centers of studs. Using a drill bit just
large enough to push a 1/4" (7 mm) bolt through, drill through
studs and wall, and through a backing plate on other side of
wall. Push bolts through wall, studs, and backing plate. Secure
XTSB spanner board with bolts provided.
• If 16" (406 mm) on-center studs are not available:
If 16" (406 mm) on-center studs are not available, mount a
spanner board on the wall, spanning two studs. If two horizontal
spanner boards are used, locate one at the top of the XTSB for
the mounting screws and the other board at the bottom of the
XTSB.
• Hollow block or poured concrete wall:
Mark hole locations on the wall using the dimensions in
Table 40-1. Drill pilot holes sized for the supplied anchors, and
mount the XTSB to the wall with the supplied screws and
anchors.
See Table 39-1 to determine clearance requirements for your
application. Make sure walls, ceilings, and other obstructions
are not within the non-wetting dimension, or condensation and
dripping could occur (read Page 39). Provide at least 3" (76 mm) of
clearance on each side of the XTSB for air intake.
