  • Page 4: Installation

    This portion of the handbook will review some often overlooked installation considerations, taking note of necessary installation requirements for the SBD 71120 through SBD 85500 model heaters. The installation manual covers most of these items in detail. CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLES Clearance to Combustibles Table MODEL 120 - 200...
  • Page 5: Exterior Clearance

    SBD TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK EXTERIOR CLEARANCE "Copyright by the American Gas Association. Used by permission of the copyright holder". This illustrates the exterior roof clearances for SBD units with natural draft venting. The vent shall extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through a roof of a building, and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (for vents of 12"...
  • Page 6 10 CUBIC FEET OF AIR PER 1,000 BTU Stoichiometric or theoretical complete combustion requires 10 cubic feet of air per 1000 BTUH input of the gas input. additional 2.5 cu.ft. of "excess" air. This 12.5 cu.ft minimum supply air per 1000 BTUH input applies to natural and propane gas models.
  • Page 7 A fresh supply of make-up air for combustion can be supplied to the heater through make- up air ducts which directly communicate with the out of doors. Two openings are required - one within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure and one within twelve inches of the bottom of the enclosure.
  • Page 8 Often it is more practical to install vertical make-up air ducts to the out doors. Again, two openings are required - one within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure and one within twelve inches of the bottom of the enclosure. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than 1 square inch per 4000 BTUH of the total input of all appliances within the enclosure.
  • Page 9: Air Requirements

    SBD TANK TYPE HEATERS SERVICE HANDBOOK INSUFFICIENT MAKE-UP AIR BACKDRAFT Insufficient make-up air is a major cause of combustion problems. One common example is in a restaurant installation where exhaust vent equipment was not considered in sizing make-up air requirements. This may result in air being backdrafted by the restaurant exhaust equipment through the heater causing flue gas spillage, flame roll out, improper combustion, inconsistent pilot operation, and/or erratic heater shut down.
  • Page 10: Contaminated Air

    Along with adequate make-up air, the quality of the air is important. Contaminants in combustion air can lead to premature heater failure. waxes, salts, etc. are drawn into the combustion chamber with the make-up air and, once fired, mix with water vapor in the gases to form extremely corrosive hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid and other corrosive byproducts.
  • Page 11: Gas Pressure

    Supply Gas Dirt Leg Maximum Supply Pressure Minimum Supply Pressure Manifold Pressure The supply gas pressure is normally measured at the dirt leg or at the gas pressure tapping on the gas supply shutoff valve. This reading must be measured with 'flowing' gas.
  • Page 12: Gas Valve

    The gas valves used on all SBD water heaters are 24 volt AC combination step opening gas valves. They incorporate the pilot valve, main valve, and gas pressure regulators into one body. The inlet view of the valve features a filter screen and the top knob. The top knob is a manual on/off gas control for both the pilot and main gas valves.
  • Page 13: Venting

    Atmospheric, Single, and Multiple Heaters All SBD water heaters are classified by ANSI as category I (non-condensing, negative pressure venting) appliances. They are approved for type B vent. For larger applications, SBD water heaters can be common vented together either in a tapered manifold or constant size manifold.
  • Page 14 Nine Rules for Good Vents (continued) 2. The diameter of a vent pipe should NEVER be reduced, no matter what the circumstances. 3. In some cases it may be necessary to run a vent larger than the draft diverter outlet. 4.
  • Page 15 Nine Rules for Good Vents (continued) 6. Horizontal pipe should be sloped upward at a minimum of ¼” per foot. 7. Horizontal elements should be limited to 75% of the vertical rise of the vent above the connection. 8. Flue gases must be kept hot for proper venting. 9.

    SBD SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. Thermostat calls for heat 7. Thermostat satisfies 3. Intermittent Ignition Control 5. Main gas valve opens SEQUENCE OF OPERATION To understand SBD tank type water heaters, an examination of their sequence of operation is necessary. When the thermostat calls for heat, the relay in the draft hood assembly activates the flue damper motor.
