Connecting Single-Wall Stainless - Waterco Turbotemp 200HD Installation And Operation Manual

Flue gases may escape into the dwelling with any cracks or loose joints in the vent pipe, or
improper vent installation. The vent pipe must be of a sealed-seam construction and for
operating temperatures less than 204° C (400°F). Vent pipe construction will be of AS/NZS
5601.1 approved non-corrosive material, such as stainless steel. A condensate trap may be
needed. The use of "Approved" thimbles, roof jacks and/or side vent terminals are required;
and the proper clearances to combustible materials must be maintained in accordance with
type of vent pipe employed—in the absence of a clearance recommendation by the vent pipe
manufacturer, the requirements of the Uniform Mechanical Code should be met. The ventilation
air requirements for the Turbotemp heater can be found on page 20. It is recommended that
vent runs over 5.4 M (18 ft) may need to be insulated to reduce condensation related problems
and/or the use of a condensate trap in the vent run close to the heater may be necessary in
certain installations such as cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 M (3 ft) or less in length do not
require a condensate tee. The Turbotemp heater is suitable for through-the-wall venting.
NOTE
After installation, installer must check for correct and safe operation of the heater.

WARNING
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if adapter is improperly attached. Mechanical
connections (such as screws) can cause cracking and leaks in the adapter. Do NOT drill
holes or use screws to connect the appliance adapter to the heater vent body. Attach with
manufacturer's specified adhesive.
!
WARNING
Risk of fire or asphyxiation if vent is not assembled according to manufacturer's
instructions or if vent parts from different manufacturers are mixed. Vent parts
from different manufacturers ARE NOT interchangeable. Mixing parts from more than
one manufacturer may cause leaks or damage to vent. When installing a vent, pick one
manufacturer and be sure that all vent parts come from that manufacturer and are specified
by the manufacturer for your system. Follow manufacturer's instructions and local and AS/
NZS 5601.1 requirements carefully during assembly and installation.
