anyone know if this unit can be mounted flat?

I don't believe it can be mounted flat because it's vented and the flame that heats the coils must rise along with the fumes of the burnt fuel. I have two of these units that I totally love.

I don't know for sure, but the way that it's designed, with the burning gas exhaust on the vertical top end, I would have to say no. May not be safe. May not draft fumes properly out of the unit, may overheat the box cause a problem start a fire etc. I would use it as it was designed to be used, vertically mounted. I can be stored flat while not in use, then easily hung by two screws while being used. Takes two minutes to mount and unmount.

As in, laying flat on it's back? I can't think of why you would but don't see why you couldn't. Make sure the unit drafts properly and it should be fine.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!There's a little window where you can watch the flame during operation. You can see flames traveling upward (as flames do) thru the heating coils. It's a large flame. If you laid it on its back, the flame would come up directly at the window, burn it, and all the paint, would come out the "bottom", and the "top", burning all the wires, the battery. Flame would come out around the control knobs, and melt them.I have the Eccotemp L10 in an outdoor shower house and it works GREAT!

I wouldn't recommend it, you'd end up with the unit hanging at an odd angle, I suspect, if not the unit then the post, for sure.

These include a mounting plate that allows you to place the unit on the ceiling or wall but flat mounted only. The unit itself fits onto the slotted plate to fit flush.

Yes it can be mounted with screws on any flat surface and it comes with two separate hooks which allow you to hang it on a door if you choose. (FYI the hooks are really flimsy so I actually suggest mounting on the wall)

Yes it can be flush mounted. This is a very good unit you will be very happy with it.

Yes it can. If mounted normally it can be tilted from facing up and horizontally flat to facing down and horizontally flat.

It can be mounted to any flat surface. Just make sure you have enough vertical clearance...

The unit is flat on the back so it could be mounted directly to a wall provide you had a hole for the wires

Not really. I guess you could drill holes in the back of the "box" and mount it that way, but it is not designed for that.

You will need to drill small holes and use screws and/or wall anchors to mount each end in a solid backed wall a less solid wall may not be secure enough to hold and could cause damage from not holding up. Otherwise the the rest of the unit lies flat will not damage wall (except for the small drill holes)

Yes, you can use double sided tape or screw it in. Hopefully you have room to mount it on a flat surface as that would be better. Hope that helps.

yes if the unit is placed on a smooth flat surface. a curved surface would not work. a rough or stippled surface would not work.

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

Not really, you would need to partially dissemble the unit with a wrench. And even then it won't be very flat.

Contact Jim...the wizard who makes these. You would need another mounting unit . He is excellent and bends over backwards to help customers

yes, i believe that there was a picture on the box showing many different mounting options. Among them, mounted flat against a vertical wall...........

I have it mounted horizontally, can't remember if it could be turned vertically.
