Wall Installation - United States Stove Company 4840 Mode D'emploi

WALL INSTALLATION

Select a wall to the exterior of the building. This wall should have the required clearance to combustibles inside
and out as mentioned in this manual. Make certain that electrical wires, conduit, water or gas pipes do not pass
through the area you have selected.
A. Step 1 - Mount the wall plate
Note: Any material covering the wall (such as sheet
rock) must not exceed 5/8" (16 mm).
Option 1: Mounting on a wood-stud wall
1. Locate the studs in exterior wall. Verify the center
of the stud with an edge-to-edge stud finder. Mark
center point at predetermined height which meets
all clearance requirements of the appliance. Note:
Make sure that the opening for the exhaust thimble
is not to close to a stud in the wall before the hole
is cut.
2. At the wall height that was determined in the
previous step, place a mid-sized nail through the
center triangular shaped hole of the mounting
plate to hold it while the locations of the mounting
holes and the exhaust/intake through hole are
marked. Make sure that the wall mounting plate
is flush against the wall, then level the mounting plate and verify that pilot holes are centered properly on
the studs. Use a pencil to mark the pilot hole locations, and intake/ exhaust through hole, then remove the
mounting plate from the wall.
3. Drill the four pilot holes to a depth of 2" (75 mm) using a 5/32" (3.96 mm) diameter drill bit.
4. Find the center of the through hole for the wall thimble and drill a pilot hole all the way through the wall to the
exterior with an installer bit. Use this hole as a center point to cut your hole through the exterior wall.
5. Carefully cut exhaust/intake through hole in exterior wall completely through to the outside (see "Vent
Clearances" section to ensure proper installation).
6. Install the wall thimble included with the vent kit to the manufactures instructions.
7. Realign the wall mount with the pilot holes and exhaust/intake through hole. Insert the four 1/4" x 2" lag bolts
with washers, and tighten the lag bolts until the wall mounting bracket is pulled firmly against the exterior wall.
Warning: Avoid potential injuries or property damage! DO NOT over-tighten the lag bolts. THIS COULD
POTENTIALLY STRIP THE MOUNTING HOLES AND CAUSE THE BOLTS NOT TO HOLD CORRECTLY.
Option 2: Mounting on a solid concrete or concrete block wall
1. Level the wall plate and mark the hole locations.
2. At the wall height you determined in the previous step, place a small nail thru center triangle hole of bracket
and align the wall mount against the wall. Level bracket and verify that pilot holes are not located in the
mortar of the cinder blocks. Use a pencil to mark the pilot hole locations, and intake/exhaust thru hole then
remove the wall plate.
3. Drill pilot holes to a depth of 2" (75 mm) using a 5/32" (3.96 mm) diameter masonry drill bit.
4. Carefully cut intake/exhaust thru hole in exterior wall thru to the outside (see "Vent Clearances" section to
ensure proper installation).
5. Insert 1/4" concrete wall anchors into the pilot holes and make sure that the anchors are seated flush with
the concrete surface.
6. Align the wall plate with the anchors. Place washers over the screw holes in the wall plate, insert 1/4" x 2" lag
bolts through the washers, and then tighten the lag bolts until the washers are pulled firmly against the wall
plate and the wall mount is pulled firmly against the exterior wall.
B. Step 2 - Mounting the Heating Unit to the wall plate
Note: The Heating Unit is heavy. You will need assistance with this step.
