DO NOT mix components from different venting systems. The vent
system could fail, causing leakage of flue products into the living
space. Use only the approved pipe and fitting materials, and primer
and cement specifically designed for the material used, as listed in
the above table. Failure to do so could result in property damage,
serious injury, or death.
• DO NOT insulate the first three (3) linear feet of the exhaust vent
run.
• CPVC, Polypropylene, or Stainless
Steel pipe material MUST be used
if the first three (3) linear feet of
the exhaust vent run is insulated or
passes through an enclosed space
greater than 6" in length, such as a
wall.
• If CPVC is used to meet these
requirements, the balance may be
installed with approved PVC pipe.
• If Polypropylene or Stainless Steel is
used to meet these requirements,
the balance of the vent run must be installed with the same
material.
• Failure to comply with this warning could result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
High heat sources (generating heat 100
boiler flue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic components
of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe materials. Such
damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended to keep
a minimum clearance of 8" from high heat sources. Observe heat
source manufacturer instructions, as well as local, state, provincial,
and national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances when installing
this water heater and related components near high heat sources.
NOTE: The use of double-wall vent or insulated material for the
combustion air intake pipe is recommended in cold climates to prevent
the condensation of airborne moisture in the incoming combustion
air.
It is required to insert the provided exhaust and intake screens into
the vent terminations to prevent blockage caused by debris or birds.
Failure to keep terminations clear could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
You must not use "B" vent in an exhaust application. "B" vent is for
intake applications ONLY. Using "B" vent in an exhaust application
will result in serious injury or death.
C. Additional Requirements for Installation in Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system certified to
ULC-S636. IPEX is an approved vent manufacturer in Canada supplying

stainless steel venting to comply with Canadian requirements.
2. The first three (3) feet of vent pipe from the water heater flue outlet
must be readily accessible for visual inspection. 3. The components of
the certified vent system must not be interchanged with other vent
systems or unlisted pipe / fittings.
