Blower Exhaust Direction - A.O. Smith GPVX 75L Series Installation And Operating Manual

BLOWER EXHAUST DIRECTION

The blower assembly may be rotated 90 degree clockwise
or counterclockwise to allow horizontal venting in areas
having restricted space above the water heater. To rotate
the blower outlet, remove the four nuts (with 11/32" nut
driver) (see Figure 34), securing the flue collector to the
blower housing. Pull the blower assembly forward to free
it from the mounting studs. Rotate the blower housing
clockwise or counter-clockwise and align the four holes
and screws together. Reattach the blower housing to the
flue collector.
Note: Coupling to vent system
not shown for clarity.
