Installation Instructions (cont'd)
Securing Water Heater to
Floor and Wall
The water heater must be secured to the floor and to the wall
of the enclosure with the three mounting brackets and screws
packaged in the carton with the water heater. The two small
brackets stamped #0110064 are used to attach the water heater
to the floor and the one large #0110063 bracket is used to
secure the top of the water heater to the wall.
Because of installation variances these brackets can be located
at any points around the circumference of the jacket. When,
the bracket locations are determined using the '/8" drill bit for
a pattern, drill only through the outer jacket of the water
heater. Then using the screws provided, secure the bracket to j
the water heater, floor and wall.
