  • Page 18: Gas Piping

    Gas pIpInG Make sure gas supplied is same type listed on model rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed 14 inch water column (3.5 kPa) for natural and propane gas (L.P.). The minimum inlet gas pressure shown on rating plate is that which will permit firing at rated input.
  • Page 19: High Altitude Installations

    hIGh altItude InstallatIons This high efficiency water heater is certified for use without modification for an altitude of 10,000 feet (3,079 meters). Consult the factory for installation at altitudes over 10,100 feet (3,079m). Some gas utility companies derate their gas for altitude, making it unnecessary to install high altitude orifices.
  • Page 20: Venting

    ventInG Never operate the water heater unless it is vented to the outdoors. The instructions in this section of the manual must be followed to avoid choked combustion or recirculation of flue gases. Such conditions cause sooting of the combustion chamber, burners and flue tubes and creates a risk of asphyxiation.
  • Page 21: Installation Of Vent System

    PVC Materials should use ASTM D-2564 Grade Cement; CPVC Materials should use ASTM F-493 Grade Cement and ABS Materials should use ASTM D-2235 Grade Cement. If the water heater is being installed as a replacement for an existing power vented heater in pre-existing venting, a thorough inspection of existing venting system must be performed prior to any installation work.
