The installation instructions called for pressing/sliding this unit with its open metal edge against the wall surface onto hooks that are first screwed into drywall anchors, then plugging the 6-foot cord into a nearby GFCI wall outlet.Totally ludicrous, I say.
My modifications include tucking the cord back in, to go out the rear directly into a junction box, fastening a backer board with carriage bolts and nylon lock nuts, then using long cabinet screws to go into wall studs. The board thickness was kept minimal by using 1/2" birch plywood.
Clearance item was $25 (in 2005). Other materials added $30.
