Does the orientation of this cooler matter? I would need to mount it with the hoses to the side.

I mounted it with the hoses to the passengers side. This was on a 95 V6 Pathfinder. It was a tight fit and I ground some metal off of the center brace in front of the radiator to make it fit. Like many of the reviewers said "buy the extra hose, you're gonna need it".

It DOES matter which way you mount it, you want the inlet and outlet to be on the side, you want the inlet at the bottom, and the outlet at the top so there is not any air cavities created - your cooler will work best when mounted this way.

Mount? No, not without modifying the cooler. Set it up top? Probably fine. Not sure if it would make any difference. I'll order a 140mm fan and place it on top to see if it helps temps.

Horizontal mounting not advised. This controller is designed to be mounted vertically for the best air flow over the vertical cooling fins on the back. Leave 5+ inches clear above and below for warm air to escape. Might be able to mount horizontal using spacers and a fan(?) but vertical works best.

Depends on how far away it is the hoses are not super long but pretty much can be mounted anywhere there is 120 mm places. Two side notes this water cooler is pretty loud and the best results I found was pulling cold air from outside the case through the radiator vs pushing air from inside the case through the radiator out of the case

Yes. The pic shows it standing up on its side but I place it down like a normal Coleman cooler

Yes, this is sealed to the elements. This should be placed where airflow is present for cooling also. The instructions suggest mounting flat and upright but I have mounted these sideways without any problems. I guess it should work fine upside down. Coat wire lugs with Vaseline or dielectric gel. Let me know if you have any other questions. Chris

Absolutely! I have one installed horizontally. I tried to mount it vertical but due to the configuration of the pump and surroundings I had to make it horizontal. It works perfectly and is still totally quiet. I've mounted others vertically and I see absolutely no difference in the way the valve works. Go for it!

Apart from possible stability issues, e.g., the rubber feet are attached to the (horizontal) bottom, there should be no problems. Cooling air flows from along the front/back axis, so that should work fine.

The cooler has clip down feet..... if you size up a few washers you could bolt it down with screws but it would be ugly...

we mounted the handheld to the side threads, just like mounting the handheld to the normal spigot. bad part is, it took some extra tightening of this adapter to keep it from rotating down, due to the handheld weight off to the side.

Mine is mounted vertically with the water coming in the bottom but I don't see why it couldn't be the other way.

That should be good. We have 3 inches at the top, for airflow. Nothing on the sides, and we have had no problems. Hope this works for you.

Absolutely. I tried for you and it worked. Mine id mounted sideways. good luck have fun!

No, you can mount it in any angle. Verticle is pitured, mine is at at 70 doward angle for the reason I had no space. I proped a block of wood beteen the tank and a joice for extra support. The tank has a strong connection and hoen'tly does not need extra support. Check you pressure! I lowered my to 17lbs as I was getting hot water from the cold at times. This is do to where you incorporate the tank into your system.

The short side rails would not allow the cooler to fit. The cooler has a slight overhand on each side.

Not adviced by manufacture. Cooler requires 3 in. Both sides 3 in. Behind for air flow. Item is a designed to be free standing, to allow air circulation and ventilation which reduces the heat load on the motors.

It can be mounted in either direction. The smaller sink isn't significantly shallower though.
