Handling Instructions
The PRESTIGE Solo is generally easier to
handle and maneuver once removed from the
shipping carton.
To remove the shipping carton:
Use care not to drop, bump or rotate the
boiler upside down, as damage to the
boiler will result.
1. Remove any shipping straps and open the
side of the shipping carton.
2. Slide the unit with the foam inserts out of
the carton.
3. Discard all packing materials.
3.2
Wall Mounting Installation
The PRESTIGE Solo should be wall mounted
using the bracket provided with the boiler. The
PRESTIGE Solo is not designed for floor
installation. If floor installation is required an
optional floor stand is available through ACV-
Triangle Tube.
The wall used for mounting the PRES-
TIGE Solo must be vertically plumbed
and capable of supporting a minimum
130 pounds [59 kg] for the PRESTIGE
Solo 80/110, 175 pounds [80 kg] for
PRESTIGE Solo 155/175/250 and 265
pounds [120 Kg] for PRESTIGE Solo
299/399. Failure to comply with these
requirements could result in personal
injury, death or substantial property
damage.
3.3
Wall Mounting Guidelines
1. The wall-mounting bracket is designed for
stud spacing of 12 inch or 16 inch on cen-
ters. For unconventional stud spacing, a
solid / secure mounting surface must be
provided for installation of the bracket.
2. For applications using wood studs, install
the bracket using the lag screws provided
with the boiler. Ensure both lag screws are
installed securely in the studs.
3. For applications using metal studs, install
the bracket to the studs using 3/16” toggle
bolts and washers.
4. DO NOT mount or attempt to mount the
wall bracket to hollow sheet rock or lath
walls using anchors. Only install boiler to
studs or equivalent wood structure.
5. For applications using solid walls (rock,
concrete, brick, cinder block, etc.), install
the wall bracket using anchors (double
expansion shields) and bolts with washers
provided with the boiler.
6. The boiler is too heavy and bulky for a sin-
gle person to lift and attempt to mount; a
minimum of 2 people is required for
mounting the boiler.
Use extreme care not to drop the boiler
or cause bodily injury while lifting or
mounting the boiler onto the bracket.
Once mounted verify that the boiler is
securely attached to the bracket and
wall. Failure to comply with the above
guidelines could result in property dam-
age, personal injury or death.
