ManaBloc Systems

PG-PF 724998 0320 PureFlow System
Dimensions in these instructions are for
16" stud centers and must be adjusted
for other stud spacing.
Once the general location of the
ManaBloc has been determined (see
“ManaBloc Location” on page 25), the
ManaBloc may be mounted to a suitable
surface between a pair of adjacent studs.
For 16" stud spacing, the mounting
straps (part number 45716) can simplify
installation.
Note: The wall in which the ManaBloc
is mounted must be accessible from
both sides during installation to use the
mounting straps.

mounting ManaBloc
1. Lay the ManaBloc, plastic brackets
down, on a suitable 󶈶at surface that
is large enough to accommodate the
full length of the ManaBloc. Place a
mounting strap under each plastic
mounting bracket (located at the top
and bottom ends of the ManaBloc).
Attach the plastic mounting bracket
at one end of the ManaBloc to the
two outer center holes of a mounting
strap using the provided self-tapping
pan-head screws. The screw heads
must be on the accessible side of the
mounting strap. Repeat at the other
end of the ManaBloc. Tighten screws
securely.
2. Standing behind the stud wall,
measure up from the 󶈶oor and make a
mark on the back of one of the studs
to represent the top of the ManaBloc.
This mark should be between four and
six feet from the 󶈶oor but may be at
any height, provided the height will
allow all valves on the ManaBloc to
be accessible. With a framing square
or level, transfer and mark the noted
height on the other stud.
Note: A residence intended for
disabled persons may require that the
ManaBloc be mounted lower in the
wall to provide access.

Measure up from the floor
while standing behind the

location for the
top of the
ManaBloc.
3. Standing behind the stud wall, hold
the ManaBloc facing away from
you and align the top of the UPPER
mounting strap to the line on the stud
that you made in Step 2. Loosely
attach this mounting strap 󶈶ush to the
back outer edge of one stud using a
¾" or longer drywall screw or other
suitable wood screw (A).
