The water heater should be located near a floor drain, or installed in proximity to an adequately drained drain pan. Westinghouse WILL NOT be held liable for leakage damages. To conserve water and energy, insulate all water piping, especially the hot and recirculation water lines.
Do not use this water heater for space heating applications. Circulators suitable for DHW applications must be used. 6. Clean and flush system when reinstalling a water heater. NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is recommended to make note of the water heater model and serial number.
Exhaust vent and intake pipe may be vented vertically through the roof or out a side wall. Venting methods are detailed in the Venting Section. Do not attempt installation using any other means. Be sure to locate the water heater so exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly terminated.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle or smoke from a cigarette. 6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
PART 5 – VENTING Vent this water heater in accordance with these instructions. Failure to do so will result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death. DO NOT mix vent systems or materials unless specifically told to do so in this manual. DO NOT thermally insulate the exhaust vent or intake pipes.
Page 17
Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to prevailing winds. In all roof venting applications, exhaust discharge must point away from the pitch of the roof. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof flashing where the pipe enters the roof. ...
When installing AL29-4C vent piping, install a PVC-to-stainless adapter at the water heater vent connection, and at the termination when using an Westinghouse PVC termination kit. DO NOT mix AL-29-4C piping from different manufacturers unless using adapters specifically designed for the purpose by the manufacturer.
D. TIGHTENING WATER HEATER COLLAR TO EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE This appliance uses 2” or 3” diameter pipe for exhaust vent and intake pipe. In order to use 2” pipe, it is required to reduce pipe size in a vertical length of pipe with a reducing coupling (not included). Follow the steps below to install 3” pipe into the appliance collar. See Figure 6 for additional details.
2. Direct Vent, Optional Horizontal and Vertical Vent Kits Figure 9 – Direct Vent, Vent Terminations (With Optional Kits) All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of ¼” per foot back to the appliance to allow drainage of condensate.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Do not connect any other appliance vents to the water heater exhaust vent or intake pipes. PART 6 – INSTALL THE CONDENSATE DRAIN 1. Due to its efficient design, the water heater produces condensate (water) as a normal by-product. This condensate is acidic, with a pH level between 3 and 4. This condensate must be drained away from the water heater and disposed in accordance with all local regulations.

5. To facilitate any future maintenance, it is also recommended that an approved gas union fitting be installed in the supply line between the shut-off valve and the ¾” female NPT connection on the water heater. Figure 12 – Gas Line With Shut-Off Valve Detail 6.
C. ADJUSTING GAS PRESSURE AT THE WATER HEATER NOTE: Refer Figure 15 when adjusting gas pressure. Loosen the bolts before checking the gas inlet pressure. 1. The water heater and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures greater than ½...
D. PIPING DIAGRAM Figure 16 – DHW Piping Figure 17 – Piping with Recirculation E. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE An external pressure relief valve must be installed on this water heater. When installing, observe the following guidelines. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in substantial property damage, personal injury, or death.
maximum BTU/H rating on the pressure relief valve is equal to or greater than the maximum input BTU/H rating of the combination water heater. To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation: Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge.
3. The wiring diagrams contained in this manual are to be used for reference purposes only. 4. Refer to these diagrams and the wiring diagrams of any external controls used with the installation when wiring the water heater. Read, understand, and follow all wiring instructions supplied with the controls. 5.
