If you plan to install your water heater on a second floor or in a heated attic space, make sure that you follow all code
requirements for such installations as required for your area. We recommend that you install a drip pan (connected to
a safe drain) below the water heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak. Alternatively, you can
install an active water leak detector and shutoff valve designed to turn off your water supply in the event that a leak is
ever detected.
3. MOUNTING YOUR WATERHEATER
Your Econobec tankless water heater should be secured to the mounting surface with 4 screws (minimum 2.6 cm (1
inch) long) using the built-in mounting brackets on each side of the heater. Make sure that the mounting surface is
solid and secure, and ensure that the unit is level prior to securing the screws. For ease of installation and servicing,
we recommend that this product be installed in an upright position with the inlet and outlet water connections at the
bottom of the unit. However, installing the unit in another position is acceptable as the flow sensor will not be affected
by orientation.
Recommended Clearances:
Above and below heater: 30,5 cm (12 inches)
To front panel: 15,5 cm (6 inches)
To sides: 15,5 cm (6 inches)
CAUTION: Combustible materials should be kept at
least 61 cm (24 inches) away from your water heater and
the output hot water pipe.
