Installation instructions
upwards towards termination ¼" for every foot of
horizontal length, to prevent the pooling of condensate,
and be supported at 4 foot intervals with overhead
hangers.
Exception: horizontal run between last elbow
and termination must pitch down to termination
1/4" per foot.
Note: For horizontal terminations, venting must
terminate once it penetrates to the outside of the
structure. There must be no sections of vent pipe
exposed to the outdoors.
Note: Listed thimbles or collars are necessary where
venting passes through wall and ceiling partitions. If the
vent system passes through combustible areas where
the vent clearance requirements cannot be maintained,
it is permissible to chase straight sections of sealed 3
inch single wall vent through 4 inch (or greater) Type-B
vent. The distance to combustibles using this chase
1)
technique is 1 inch . Note: Type-B vent must never
be used as the actual exhaust vent system for the
appliance, as it is not gas tight and illegal for use
with this appliance. This will create a serious
health hazard and void the warranty.

Vent Safety System
The GWH 2400 ES will shut down if inadequate
exhaust venting is detected or a lack of combustion air
is provided to the unit; see troubleshooting section on
page 38. See error code to confirm error, correct the
problem and then reset the heater before operating.
