CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
MOUNTING THE HEATER
Initial mounting considerations have been discussed, and now it’s time commit your placement theory into
motion. Consider the following pieces of information to help you through: The Lynx Eave Mount Patio Heater is
made from the finest materials available- heavy gauge stainless steel. As a result, this heater is heavy- It weighs
around 50 pounds and must be mounted securely. The ‘100 pound rule’ should be followed, whereas, it must be
mounted such that the anchors will support at least 100 pounds, or it may be considered a ‘suspension hazard’.
FAILURE TO INSTALL THE HEATER IN SUCH A MANNER MAY CAUSE THE HEATER TO FALL, RESULTING IN
PROPERTY DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH. ADDITIONALLY, LOCAL CODES REGARDING HEAD CLEARANCE
REQUIREMENTS MUST BE OBSERVED.
Each mounting bracket is provided with (4) mounting holes. A quantity of (8) 5/16 x 1/1-2” Stainless lag bolts have
been provided for installation. If mounting into solid wood, for example, an eave joist , then only 2 holes (front to
back holes) per bracket need to be used (the inside holes nearest the vertical wall). Otherwise, use all (4) holes per
bracket. If mounting into a ‘hollow surface’, for example, stucco over wallboard and studs, , then 5/16” anchors, that
are appropriate for the mounting surface ,must be used (not provided).The distance between the outermost holes
of the mounting brackets, across the heater length , is 48”. This distance is intended to accommodate standard roof
joist spacing of 24” O.C. The distance between the innermost holes of the mounting brackets is 45-1/2”. The short
distance between the holes (side to side) on each mounting bracket is 1-1/4”. The long distance (front-to back) is
4-1/2” between the holes. See illustration.
