INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS LOCATING THE WATER HEATER (such as adhesives, etc.) emit flammable vapors which can be ignited by a gas water heater’s ignition device or main burner. Carefully choose a location for the new water heater. The The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the burns to anyone in the area.
mentioned below, see Figure 1B & Figure 1C). Failure to follow these instructions can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion, potentially resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death. • Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will interfere with safe operation of the blower assembly.
UNCONFINED SPACE FRESH AIR OPENINGS FOR CONFINED SPACES An Unconfined Space is one whose volume IS NOT LESS THAN The following instructions shall be used to calculate the size, number 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the and placement of openings providing fresh air for combustion, total input rating of all appliances installed in the space.
AIR FROM OTHER INDOOR SPACES Alternatively a single permanent opening, commencing within 12 inches (300 mm) of the top of the enclosure, shall be provided. See Figure 6. The water heater shall have clearances of at least 1 inch (25 mm) from the sides and back and 6 inches (150 mm) from the front of the appliance.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS CHEMICAL VAPOR CORROSION Corrosion of the flueways and vent system may occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors.

VENTING INSTALLATION combustion air intake during severe cold weather. To prevent the recirculation of flue gases, maintain as much distance as possible between the combustion air intake and the exhaust vent terminal refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 on Page 29 & Page 30 respectively.
POLYPROPYLENE INSTALLATIONS Polypropylene vent systems do not use cement to connect the pipe and elbow sections but use a push together gasket seal method. The water heater has been approved to be installed with Do not attempt to connect Polypropylene with sealant cement. All Polypropylene vent material as shown in Table 5 and Table 6.
VENT PIPE TERMINATION INSTALLATION OF HORIZONTAL THROUGH THE WALL VENT SYSTEM The first step is to determine where the vent pipe will terminate. See Figures 12 through 20. The vent may terminate through a sidewall If you are installing your system so that it vents through roof, please as shown in Figures 12, 14 and 15 or through the roof as shown refer to section titled VERTICAL VENT TERMINAL INSTALLATION.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION START UP CONDITIONS the anode rod is one of a rotten egg smell in the hot water. The smell is a result of four factors which must all be present for the odor to develop: SMOKE/ODOR It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and odor a.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE VENTING SYSTEM INSPECTION by protecting the glass-lined tank from corrosion. Adverse water quality, hotter water temperatures, high hot water usage, hydronic heating devices, and water softening methods can increase the rate of anode rod depletion. Once the anode rod is depleted, the tank will start to corrode, eventually developing a leak.
POWERED ANODE ROD (OPTIONAL MODELS) If the Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve on the water heater weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal To insure a long, trouble-free operating life, certain models of expansion. water heaters covered in this manual are factory equipped with a powered anode system.
TO DRAIN THE WATER HEATER STORAGE TANK: 7. Flush the water heater storage tank to remove sediment and allow the water to flow until it runs clean. 1. Turn off the electrical supply to the water heater. 8. Close the water heater drain valve when flushing is completed. 2.
LEAKAGE CHECKPOINTS Never use this water heater unless it is completely filled with water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. B:Anode Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the water heater.
