4. Mounting Your Water Heater

1. Your tankless water heater should be secured to a solid mounting surface with four screws,
(minimum 1" (25.4mm) long).
2. Ensure that the unit is level before fastening the screws in place.
3. The unit must be installed in an upright position with the water inlet and outlet at the bottom
of the unit. Do not install inversely with connections facing up or sideways with connections
facing right or left.
4. Do not install the unit above electrical boxes or junctions.
5. The water heater must be installed in a manner that prevents contact with flammable liquids
and gases. Keep these flammable materials at least two feet away from the heater and the
hot water outlet pipe. The water heater and the hot water outlet pipe must be secured, and
out of children's reach to prevent tampering with controls or contact with an extremely hot
pipe.
6. If installing the heater on an upper floor or attic, make sure installation complies with the local
codes. Install a drip pan with drainage, or a leak detector and automatic shutoff valve, to
prevent damage in case of any leakage.
