Can the ViaAqua Glass Submersible heater be mounted horizontally?

I don't see why it could not be. The whole thing is submersible, so as long as you got enough cord to go out of the tank you can mount it any way you like. It is a nice small heater, I use it in a five gallon fluvle Che. Plus the lowest temp on it is 70°.

yes, it work fine either way. We have a turtle tank with 7" of water, we put a 18" or so heater horizontally, no problems, water temp stay constant.

The packaging recommends that you do NOT mount horizontally, though mine is at a diagonal and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Hope this helps.

Diagonal might be better since the package says not to, but I think that someone called the company and found out they have the warning because of some country to country issue or something. If you had it totally horizontal towards the top it should have no problem, but at the bottom it may be more risky because more of the cord is in the tank. If you are worried about the visibility of this heater in smaller tanks, it is easy to hide (you just sometimes see the heater light at night). I have a few of these in my 5g tanks and they are easy to hide with the filter. But if you are worried about the heat not being even, this heater is really only meant for the smaller tanks so it really isn't a problem (unless it breaks on you). I think the highest it can go to is 10g, but for my 10g tanks I got the same brand's 200w version since it was cheaper than the 100w. It heats the tank quicker and I removed my fish since I didn't want to stress them out too much, then acclimated them before putting them back in the tank.

In fact, there is about a 15 degree offset permitted, horizontally. If you drill your own holes, these can be set to any thermally sensible angle.

In my 120 aquarium I used the 250watt. Going a little bit on the large side allows for a more stable water temperature. And yes, heaters can be placed in any direction, including horizontal or upside down, and still work.

Yes, it can be installed in a horizontal position. Just make sure those red printed letters on the check valve are facing upwards, meaning the flapper will close downwards after tightening both unions.

Yes. There are mounting brackets on the back for vertical or horizontal. I'm very happy with this purchase

Yes, they can be mounted any direction. For your purposes it might be better to use one with higher CFMs. There are some that move 200-300 CFMs for a little more money.

I have mine mounted vertically but the installation manual say it can be mounted horizontal as well, remember to allow enough room for the top lid to openfor changing of the filter bag, which ever way you decide to install unit. Hope this helps!!

I have mine mounted horizontally, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't mount it vertically.

The manual says that the system can be installed either vertically (inlet port at the bottom) or horizontally but the vertical installation is preferred.

Yes I installed it horizontally and it works just fine. In fact, its safer to install horizontally because you dont risk being locked out of the house when you slam the door close and the lock accidentally come down and locks you out!

Yes! There are two screw mounting holes, it can be mounted horizontal or vertical.

Thanks for your email. Yes you can mount your speakers horizontally. You have to drill into the back and there are plates to wall mount. I mounted a set of mid speakers that way. I don't see an issue with it.

No; I suspect the reason they suggest vertically is to insure consistent fluid flow through the chamber [it also makes it easier to change the bulb and possibly glass sleeve]. If you have to install horizontally or at a diagonal it should be fine -- just make sure you can service the thing (a year goes by quickly and you should change the bulb annually). Good Luck!

It must be completely submerged or it will likely overheat and burn out, but you can mount it horizontally and then you wouldn't have any issues.

I'm sorry but I didnt try mounting it horizontally and it's now in a position which makes it difficult for me to remove. However, I don't see why it would not work mounted horizontally since I have other brands of computer fans that are mounted horizontally and blowing upwards.

They could be mounted horizontally, but they are not the same width on both ends. One end has a bigger width. They were made to be mounted vertically.

Yes you can submerge them horizontally, I usually suction them to the sump wall for good water circulation around it.
