10. Preparations
!
Material losses
Mounting a water heater that does not meet the structural
requirement needed may lead to significant damage to
the water heater and the installation location.
Ensure that all fasteners used are of sufficient penetration
depth into a suitable material to support the full weight
of the appliance with an acceptable additional factor of
safety.
Before installing the appliance, ensure that the mounting location
will sufficiently hold the filled weight of the appliance with a factor
of safety of at least 50%. Consult a qualified installer or a struc-
tural engineer to evaluate whether the appliance can be safely
mounted in the desired location. Failure to properly evaluate the
installation location for structural integrity could result in damage
to the water heater and the installation location.
10.1 Installation site
The instructions below describe the mounting process for an
installation space with wooden studs. If the appliance will be
installed in a space without wooden studs, follow a similar con-
struction procedure with comparable weight and loading con-
siderations. Consult Stiebel Eltron for more information if you
are unsure about mounting the appliance with the materials you
have on hand.
