Is this an important thing to have?

I wish I could buy a bracket to mount the Watts regulator to a wall.  I do not have the facilities to fabricate one.  I current use a couple of conduit clamps but I would prefer something more secure. 

A couple of small 'L' brackets available at most hardware or home improvement stores should work. You might need to redrill or trim them to fit under the regulator screws.

Probably want screws a little longer so all the threads could be used .

I scoped out L-brackets but the ideal would be two brackets, each on two of the housing screws.  But it may not be obvious, but the regulator body would intrude on a L-bracket between two housing screws.  This is where the ability to fabricate something would be handy because the L-brackets would actually have to be curved around the regulator body.

Just two L-brackets to the two housing screws closest to the wall would not be very secure to me.

The best idea I have some up with, but having acted upon because of the complexity, is to have two through-panel hose connections with the regulator suspended in between.

I was surprised in my research that none of the Watt regulators were designed to be mounted, only to be suspended between the plumbing in and out.

Maybe you're not thinking heavy duty . That's why I suggested longer screws / bolts .

And , even if you curved the bracket around the body , the pivot/bend point is still the same . That makes 'secure level' the same .

Goes around , comes around .
