MIXING VALVES
DANGER
Water temperature over 125°F (52°C)
can cause severe burns instantly
resulting in severe injury or death.
Children, the elderly and the physically
or mentally disabled are at highest risk
for scald injury.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting devices such as
mixing valves must be installed when
required by codes and to ensure safe
temperatures at fixtures.

VENTING INSTALLATION
VENTING INSTALLATION
Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas
•
Install vent system in accordance with codes.
•
Do not operate water heater if any part has been
exposed to flooding or water damage.
•
Do not operate if soot buildup is present.
•
Never operate the heater unless it is vented to
the outdoors and has and has adequate air
supply to avoid risks of improper operation,
fire, explosion, or asphyxiation.
•
Do not obstruct water heater air intake with
insulating jacket.
•
Do not place chemical vapor emitting products
near water heater.
•
Analyze the entire vent system to make sure
that condensate will not become trapped in a
section of vent pipe and therefore reduce the open
cross sectional area of the vent.
•
Gas and carbon monoxide detectors are available.
