3.2.1 Anchor Bracket Installation
Anchor brackets do not come standard with the
JXi. If you require the anchor brackets for your
installation please order kit #R0593400.
Anchor brackets should be installed in any
circumstance where the heater may be subject
to natural risks such as extreme weather or
earthquake. In Florida, the heater is required to
be securely fastened to the equipment pad to
meet the applicable requirements of the Florida
Building Code. Other jurisdictions may have similar
requirements for extreme weather or other natural
hazards. Check your local codes for details.
Using an adjustable wrench or equivalent tool
loosen (DO NOT REMOVE) the retaining nut on the
bracket. The upper and lower anchor bracket should
be able to rotate freely about the retaining pin.
Slide the bracket into the slot located at the lower
corner of the heater base.
Rotate lower anchor bracket into fi nal position.
Ensure that the lower anchor bracket is fl ush with the
equipment pad surface and level.
Tighten the retaining nut so that the anchor
bracket assembly is secure.
Drill a hole in the concrete using the lower anchor
bracket hole as a guide. It is advised that a hammer
drill with an appropriate concrete drill bit be used.
Place a screw in the hole and tighten to fasten
the anchor bracket to the concrete pad. Do not over
torque the screws.
NOTE: Depending on the location of and access to the
bracket, it may be necessary to mark the drill
location using the lower anchor bracket hole as
a guide. Remove the bracket from the heater,
drill the hole and then reattach the bracket to the
heater base.
NOTE: Concrete screws are not provided in the anchor
bracket kit. Use size 1/4 in x 2-1/4 in galvanized
or plated concrete screws and washers.
