I SAFETY

The warranty on this water heater is in effect only when the
water heater is installed and operated in accordance with
these instructions. The manufacturer of this water heater will
not be liable for any injury or property damage resulting
from failure to comply with these instructions.
WARNING! This water heater must be installed strictly in
accordance with the instructions enclosed, and local electri-
cal, fuel and building codes. It is possible that connections to
the water heater, or the water heater itself may develop
leaks. IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE that the water
heater be installed so that any leakage of the tank or related
water piping is directed to an adequate drain in such a way
that it cannot damage the building, furniture, carpeting, adja-
cent areas, lower floors of the structure or other property
subject to water damage. This is particularly important if the
water heater is installed in a multi-story building, on finished
flooring or carpeted surfaces. SLANT/FIN CORP. CANNOT
BE HELD LIABLE for damage caused by water from the
water heater, pressure relief valve, or related fittings. Closets
without drains and carpeted areas are examples of unsuit-
able locations for any water heater. Select a location as cen-
tralized within the piping system as possible. The heater
should be located in an area not subject to freezing temper-
atures at any time. It is recommended that a suitable drain
pan be installed under the water heater. This pan shall be a
minimum of 50mm (2 in.) deep and have a diameter that is
a minimum of 50mm (2 in.) greater than the diameter of the
water heater. Suitable piping shall connect the drain pan to
a properly operating floor drain.
HOT
BURN
The Indirect-fired water heater is deemed to be used in a "commercial setting" if at any time the unit is oper-
ated at a temperature over 150ºF. Refer to warranty for additional information.
Relief Valve Requirements
Caution: To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and
temperatures in this water heater, install temperature
and pressure protective equipment required by local
codes. It should be no 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 latest edition of ANSI Z21.22:
Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas
Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems. This
valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not
to exceed the marked MAXIMUM working pressure of the
water heater (150 PSI). Install the valve into an opening
provided and marked for this purpose in the water
heater, and orient it or provide tubing so that any
discharge from the valve will exit only within 6 inches
above, or any distance below the structural floor and
cannot contact any live electrical part. The discharge
opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under
any circumstances. The end of the relief pipe opening
should terminate near a floor drain or other suitable
location not subject to blocking or freezing. DO NOT
thread, plug or cap the relief pipe opening.
