  • Page 13 Combustion Air Supply continued- Confined Spaces Confined spaces are spaces defined as having less than 50 ft of space per 1,000 BTU (1.41 m /.29 kw) per hour of input. Unconfined Spaces In unconfined spaces in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases.
  • Page 14: Water Connections

    Water Connections Note: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater.
  • Page 15 Installation (Water Connections) continued- WARNING For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials as meeting the requirements of the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 or the Standard...
  • Page 16 Installation (Water Connections) continued- WARNING Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance, which is connected to the hot water system.
  • Page 17: Gas Connections

    Gas Connections The gas supply lines must meet all requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition, or in Canada, the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.1-Latest Edition, or Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA B149.2-Latest Edition.
