AWARNING
VENT DAMPERS - Any vent damper, whether it is
operated thermally or otherwise must be removed if its
use inhibits proper drafting of the water heater.
Thermally Operated
Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water
heaters having thermal efficiency in excessof 80% may
)roduce a relatively low flue gas temperature.
Such
temperatures may not be high enough to properly open
thermally operated vent dampers. Thes would cause
spillage of flue gases and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as
complying with the latest edition of the American
National Standard ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67,
respectively, cover electrically and mechanically actuat.
ed vent dampers). Before installation
of any vent
damper, consult the local Sears Service Center or gas
utility for further information.

All vent gases must be completely vented to the outdoors of the
structure (dwe!ling). Insrall only the draft hood provided with
the new water heater and"no other draft hood.
Vent pipes must be secured at each joint with sheet metal screws.
The water heater must be connected to a roof iack: The vent
pipe from the water heater to the roof jack must be no less than
the diameter of the draft hood outlet (min. Y') on the water
heater.
This water heater may be installed with single wall or Type B
vent pipe connection to the draft hood and the following U.L.
listed roof jacks not furnished.
Triangle Products No. 773-50

There must be a minimum clearance of 12" between the top of
the draft hood and the top of the enclosure.
The draft hood and combustion air inlet to the water heater
must be in the same atmospheric pressure zone. Do not separate
by a wal!, shelf, ceiling, partition, or any other means.
AWARNING
Failure to have required clearances between vent
piping and combustible material will result in a fire
hazard.
.
AWARNING
J
Be sure vent pepe is properly connected to prevent
escapeof dangerousflue gaseswhich could causedeadly
asphyxiation.
