Can this be mounted horizontally or does it need to be vertically? Thank you.

It can be mounted whatever way you like - since it is totally submersible, it does not matter how it sits in the tank.

These are fully submersible. Boxed instructions show the heater being used in vertical above water line or horizontal on bottom of tank. Just keep in mind that the dial for temperature control is located on the top so generally good idea to keep this portion above water line. (for ease of use)

I guess it would be fine to position it vertically instead of horizontally. But if you did that, I'd be careful not to put too much weight on the separating shelf in the center of the unit.

As in horizontal? Yes. And it can install in a round box. Make sure its small enough though. 4" works just fine.

Yes. Mine is hung vertically. Instead of using the hanging hardware that comes with it I used command strips. Not sure if the hardware allows for bidirectional hanging though.

yes it can be mounted either way. two mounting points for each orientation.

The instructions say horizontal but I had to mount mine vertical and it still works very well.

No, it needs to be installed vertically. The bulb on the bottom floats on the water, rising up and sealing. It wouldn't work horizontally.

Sorry, not sure. It was a gift purchase. I know that the person I got if for really liked it. It can be used both horizontally and vertically. Good luck.

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

Not vertically, horizontally. And it won't fit in if you have a thick case, like the otterbox defender case. I have the commuter case and it fits but u have to bend the mount around a little to make it fit

Yes, I will work either way. I mounted mine horizontally, but the brackets that come with it will hold it in either orientation. You might have to put something for it to rest on as it will be heavier when full of water. It would be best to mount it so the bulb could be withdrawn upward (less spillage if you were ti have to remove the end cap) the internal quartz tube should not leak with the oring and threaded cap in place.

Can be positioned vertically or horizontally. Using horizontally for turtle tank with only 2-3" of water. Was recommended for low water levels and horizontal positioning. Works great so far!!

The kit comes with hardware to mount the unit vertically or horizontally. I just laid mine on it's side and bolstered it with soft trunk items. Sounded beautiful.

It mounts on the handle bars of a bike. I doubt you would want to mount it vertically. It certainly wouldn't be able to hold much in that position (if you where able to mount it at all).

I mounted mine vertically so I could angle them the way I need in my backyard. If mounted horizontally there is no Sid to aside movement .

You could mount this on the left side. Manufacturer says it could be mounted on an angle however, no, I would not mount this vertically. There are other bars meant for that purpose.

t don't see why it cannot be mounted vertically unless that position puts more wear on the bearings in the fan motor. I am very happy with the one I bought and installed last fall.
