General Installation Guidelines
•Follow these instructions when you install your heater. In
the United States: The installation must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. In Canada: The
Installation should conform with CGA B149.(1,2)
INSTALLATION CODES and /or local installation codes.
•Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correct
combustion air supply and flue pipe installation are very
important. If not installed correctly, fatal accidents can be
caused by lack of air, carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.
•Install the heater in a location with enough ventilation.
The National Fire Codes prohibit water heater installation
in bathrooms, bedrooms or any occupied rooms normally
kept closed. See the section below on locating the heater.
•You must vent your heater. See section on Vent Pipe
Connections, Page 12.
•Disconnect the heater from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½
Psig (3.5 kPa).
•Isolate the heater from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½Psig (3.5kPa). Test the
appliance and its gas connection before operating the
heater.
•Keep water heater area clear and free from combustibles
and flammable liquids. Do not locate the heater over any
material that might burn.
•Correct gas pressure is critical for the optimum operation
of this heater.
•Size gas piping to provide the required pressure at the
maximum output of the heater, while all the other gas
appliances are in operation. Check with your local gas
supplier, and see the section on connecting the gas
supply (page 13 ).
•If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off,
turn off the gas supply at the manual gas shut off valve
on the gas line.
•Do not use this appliance if any part has been
underwater. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any
part of the control system that has been underwater.
