WATER HEATER VENT PACKAGE
NOTE:
The VP-2 and VP-3 Water Heater Vent Packages use a solenoid valve as part
of the safety interlock circuit. The solenoid valve is installed in the gas supply piping
to the water heater's thermostat/valve. To save installation time, do not pipe gas to
water heater before installing the gas solenoid valve.
OPTIONAL PILOT SAVER KIT AVAILABLE
The optional Pilot Saver Kit (P/N: 950-2061) allows for Solenoid Valve to be installed in
1/2" burner gas line from water heater gas valve to burner, eliminating pilot outages
caused by power interruptions.
