INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Through-the-Wall Venting Installation

Cut or drill a hole through the exterior wall, slightly
larger than the diameter of the vent pipe selected.
The larger hole will allow for final alignment with the
water heater. Extend a section of the pipe through
the hole to the outside and attach the terminating
elbow to the exterior end of the pipe. Connect and

secure all piping and elbows from the power venter
to the wall. Make sure that all horizontal runs have a
minimum rise of / inch per foot (21 mm/m) of run (see

Figure 8). When the installation is completed, the vent
terminal must be at two (2) inches (5.1 cm) from the
exterior surface of the wall (see Figure 8). Make sure
that all piping is properly braced. If the venting will pass
through an enclosed area, make sure to leave at least
one (1) inch (2.5 cm) clearance around the piping for
air circulation.

Through-the-Roof Venting Installation

Cut or drill a hole through the roof and ceiling, slightly
larger than the diameter of the vent pipe selected. The
larger hole will allow for the final alignment with the
water heater. Construct the vent terminal assembly.
Extend a section of pipe through the hole in the roof
to the outside and attach the terminal assembly to the
exterior end of the pipe. Connect and secure all piping
and elbows from the power venter to the roof. Make
sure that all horizontal runs have a minimum rise of
inch per foot (21 mm/m) of run (see Figure 8).

When the installation is completed, the vent terminal
must be a minimum of eighteen (18) inches (45.7 cm)
from the exterior surface of the roof (see Figure 8).
Make sure that all piping is properly braced. If the vent-
ing will pass through an enclosed area, make sure to
leave at least one (1) inch (2.5 cm) clearance around
the piping for air circulation.

Condensation in the Venting System

In some installations, condensation will form in the
horizontal runs of vent piping. To prevent condensa-
tion from flowing back into the power venter, install a
condensate trap to the drain outlet of the rubber
transition fitting. Make sure that the condensate remov-
al tube flows to a suitable free-flowing drain.

CPVC Adaptor

A CPVC vent system adaptor should be installed when
using PVC pipes for venting this water heater (see
Figure 10). The vent system adaptor consists of a
PVC coupling glued to a CPVC pipe. The CPVC pipe
must be inserted into the rubber transition fitting on the
outlet of the blower assembly (see Figure 10).
INSTALLATION
The PVC coupling on the vent system adaptor must be
attached to the PVC vent system using the proper primer,
cleaner and cement.
ALWAYS read and abide by all safety messages
printed on the primer, cleaner and cement contain-
ers. Primer, cleaner and cements are extremely
flammable. DO NOT store these products near
heat, sparks or flames. They are harmful or fatal if
swallowed. Their vapours are also harmful. They
may irritate eyes and can be absorbed through the
skin. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in property damage, personal injury or death.
1) Adjust the vent pipe length to properly fit the vent
system adaptor on the blower assembly outlet.
2) Cut pipe ends squarely, removing all burrs and dirt.
3) Dry fit the pipe/fitting to be connected to make sure

they fit properly.
4) Clean the pipe/fitting with the proper primer or cleaner.
