BE425M wall mount vertical?

JohnKoz · ‎2022-09-22

Wondering if I can wall mount this UPS vertically instead of horizontal as expected?

APC Back-UPS 425VA, 120V, 6 NEMA outlets (2 surge) - BE425M | APC USA

There are mounting holes in the rear which assume horizontal hanging on the screws, I would provide alternate methods of attachment.

My guess is that the orientation should not matter on a sealed maintenance-free battery but wanted to learn any opinions to the contrary.

Thanks

Hi @JohnKoz

Thank you for reaching out to the SE Community, my name is Jon and I will assist you with this query. I understand you'd like to mount the UPS by making your own hardware.

Am I correct that you'd like to lay/mount it sidewards? Technically, this should work.
