Can the unit be installed on hollow block?

Yes, but you would need to buy your own installation hardware from a local hardware store. The installation hardware included with the panels is only for wood or drywall, not concrete. The Blue TapCon Screws designed for concrete work well in concrete blocks.

I don't know what hollow block is. I had help installing mine on sheetrock and it is fine. Very sturdy.

Absolutely! I have TWO of these (one in each of two houses) and they are both mounted in the wall. You will need to provide support to the outside of the units. Enjoy! They work VERY well.

I imagine that you would have to use the proper hardware (i.e.screws/bolts) for concrete block walls, and make sure that the heads of the screws/bolts fit into the channels in the mounting bar.

You should be able to, but it will have to be bolted vertically--won't pivot horizontal/vertical.

I do not think that would be easy to do. They are designed to be mounted by sliding the unit onto screw heads protruding from a flat surface.

You could probably find some that you could mount on the bottom but you need to keep the unit stable and level.

vertical installation can be done, but it does not work as well. As it will sit lower on one of the knobs than the other.

Yes. But the unit would not be flush with the wall. Rather it would sit on a mounting bracket (included) and be perpendicular to the wall.

No reason it should not. It is highly adjustable. You may need to find bolts with which to mount to the block.

Should be able to,mine is installed as per picture,but as long as you have water pressure going thru the unit I see no reason it would not work

Hi Rosemary,I will depend on the mounting surface, If you are mounting it to wood with nails or screws it should not be a problem. If it is to brick if you want the same result as wood you have to make sure the brick nails are as straight and as close to the brick surface as possible. I hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response.

I am saying no cause someone put it together for me but based on the instructions I don't know that it can be put together with the Hollowside on the left

Yes, the unit has predrilled holes so you can secure it to any solid surface

Yes. But when we got it it didn't look great where I planned tpo put it, so my husband installed it directly into a socket. Also, we avoiding drilling into the wall by doing it that way. Looks nice and is stable. But it really is a plug in unit by design.

You can use a hollow core or any other type door or slab. They all work just fine.

I don't think the unit would be safe as the parts to hook to the wall are on the outside sections. Also would you want to spend that much money and then have to cut all those pipes to make it into a two column assembly? I wouldn't, if that was the case I would buy something else.

This unit can be mounted in brick with the use of a masonary drill bit and the enclosed four lag screws provided... However... There are only 2 inserts enclosed... and... their application would NOT be what is needed... Take the four lags to a hardware store and get a better combo...
