Part 5 - Venting; Intake Pipe And Exhaust Vent Guidelines - Westinghouse WGRGH**199 Series Installation, Start-Up, Maintenance, Parts, Warranty

This wall mounting system is not seismic rated and should not be applied as such. Failure to comply with the above and properly mount
the water heater could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
POSITIONING THE WATER HEATER ON THE WALL
Attach the wall bracket on the location where you want to install the water heater. Ensure it is level and on stud (16" centers)
1.
before proceeding.
2. Mark the four drill holes with a pencil or marker. Remove the wall bracket.
3. Drill four (4) holes using a 5/32 drill bit at the marked hole locations.
4. Mount the wall bracket to the wall with the four (4) included anchor bolts. Ensure the mounted bracket is level. See Figure 5A.

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.
DO NOT use an electric damper, vent damper, or draft hood with this water heater.
DO NOT locate the exhaust vent or intake pipe terminations where exposed to prevailing winds.
Moisture will be produced by the exhaust vent. Take precautions when determining exhaust vent termination. Moisture may fall from the
vent termination to the ground and turn to ice in freezing conditions. Moisture or ice can produce a hazardous condition.
Exhaust condensate is acidic, and could deteriorate the surface below the exhaust vent termination. Ensure this surface is in good
repair (sealed, painted, etc.) to prevent deterioration.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. INTAKE PIPE AND EXHAUST VENT GUIDELINES
1. Vent system must be installed in accordance with local codes, or, in absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 / NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
2. For installation in Canada, installer supplied plastic vent piping must comply with CAN/CGA B149.1 and be certified to the
Standard for Type BH Gas Venting Systems, ULC-S636. Components of this listed system must not be interchanged with other vent
systems or unlisted pipes or fittings. All plastic components and specified primers and glues must be from a single system manufacturer
and must not be intermixed with another system manufacturer's products. Clean and dry all applicable surfaces before applying
cement.
3. This water heater is designed to be installed as a direct vent (sealed combustion) type. Combustion air must be supplied directly from
the outdoors to the burner, and the flue (exhaust) gases should be vented directly to the outdoors through the wall or roof.
