Required Clearances - American Standard HPWH50G-AS Owners And Operation Manual

HEAT PUMP WATER HEATER
NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan MUST conform to local codes. Catch Pan Kits are available from the store where
the water heater was purchased, your local home improvement store or any water heater distributor.

REQUIRED CLEARANCES:

There must be a 5-1/2" minimum clearance (air space) between the front or rear cover and any objects. The
recommended clearance to use is 7".
A 16" minimum clearance is required to remove the filter for cleaning. The hot and cold-water plumbing and electrical
connections must not interfere with the removal of the filter.
The unit has a condensate drain; therefore a drain must be available in close proximity to the unit. The drain must
not be higher than 36" above the floor (laundry drain is acceptable). If no drain is available, then a common
condensate pump with a capacity no less than 1 gallon/day must be purchased from a local builder or home
improvement store and installed.
