Should Gov-Ray Rad be fastened to the wall?

a few 10" long beads of silicone caulk (or double sided tape) on the back of the unit as it abutts the wall if that wouldn't deteriorate over time with the 160 degree hot water heat. Otherwise some kind of bracket I guess.
Thanks,

Re-installing 13.5\" gov ray rad after renovation
This is a small, narrow bathroom, would seem to be fairly easy for someone to knock into the unit. This unit will not be recessed but will abutt the wall.There were no fasteners before; only support was via 3/4" copper pipes coming in through the floor. Would seem to be pretty easy to come up with a pair of brackets that would screw into near-floor 6" high wood framing.
Thanks,
David
PS I believe some people call this by its old name 'sun ray' but it's made by governale.
