Remove Crate
1. Remove all banding and pry off crate sides carefully so as to not damage the water heater.
Carefully roll/lift the water heater from the crate base.
2.
DO NOT drop water heater. DO NOT bump water heater jacket against floor.
DO NOT bump exhaust vent pipe against crate or other objects. This will damage the heater and cause it to
be inoperable or create nuisance problems.
Moving the Water Heater to a Permanent Position
1. Move the water heater to a permanent position by sliding or walking.
2. Place drain pan underneath the water heater.
Install Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
Temperature setting should NOT exceed safe temperature at fixtures. See water temperature control
warning in Section VI: Water Connections (page 21). If higher preheat temperatures are necessary to obtain
adequate booster output, add an ASSE approved mixing device for hot water supplied to fixtures.
Temperature and pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to eliminate potential of
severe burns. DO NOT pipe in any area where freezing could occur. DO NOT install any shut-off valves,
plugs or caps to the temperature and pressure relief valve or piping.
Location
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
This water heater must be located in an area where the general public does NOT have access to set
temperatures.
Air Requirements
1. Do NOT obstruct the flow of ventilating air.
2. For safe operation, adequate air is needed for combustion and ventilation. Sooting may result in serious
damage to the water heater and risk of fire or explosion. It can also create a risk of asphyxiation. Such
a condition often will result in a yellow, luminous burner flame, causing carboning or sooting of the
combustion chamber, burner and flue tubes.
Mechanical Exhausting of Room Air
Where an exhaust fan is installed in the same room with this water heater and combustion air is drawn from
inside the room, sufficient openings for air must be provided in the walls.
Undersized openings will cause air to be drawn into the room through the water heater's venting system,
causing poor combustion that may be hazardous to life. Sooting may result in serious damage to the
water heater and risk of fire or explosion, which can also create a risk of asphyxiation. Refer to local
codes and /or National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural
Gas Installation Code (Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code (Latest Edition) for
proper air opening sizing.
