3.0 WATER HEATER LOCATION
In all cases, the Trinity Lx must be installed indoors in a dry location where the ambient temperature must be
maintained above freezing and below 100F [38C]. Gas components must be protected from dripping, spraying
water, or rain during operation and servicing. Consider the proximity of system piping, gas and electrical supply,
condensate disposal drain, and proximity to vent termination when determining the best water heater location.
Water or flood damaged components must be replaced immediately with new factory-
approved components as failure to do so may result in fire, serious injury, or death.
Floor Mounting
The Trinity Lx can be mounted directly on combustible flooring, with the exception of carpeting. Installing the
water heater on carpeting is not permissible. Ensure the water heater is mounted above any anticipated flood
level. Models Lx200WH-Lx400WH come equipped with stationary, low profile legs. Models Lx500WH-
Lx800WH include factory supplied/field installed leveling legs. Once the unit is removed from the pallet, thread
the leveling legs into the allocated threaded inserts in the bottom of the unit.
Water heater Area Ventilation Air Openings
Direct Vent –If water heater area clearances are less than the recommended clearances specified in Table 3-1,
the water heater area must be ventilated. (Exception: if the water heater area/room has a volume of 150 ft3or
greater, ventilation of the water heater room is not required). Each ventilation air opening must meet the
minimum requirements of 1 in2per 1000 Btu/hr, but not less than 100 in2. The lower ventilation opening
must be located within 6” of the floor while the upper opening must be located 6” from the top of the space.
If the "Water heater Area" does not meet the recommended clearances listed in Table 3-
1, and if the water heater area has a volume less than 150 ft3, it is considered a Closet or
Alcove. PVC vent pipe and fittings shall not be used within the closet or alcove; only
approved CPVC, Polypropylene or Stainless Steel vent pipe and fittings can be used.
See Table 4-3 for a list of approved materials.
Indoor Combustion Air –When using Indoor Combustion Air in lieu of Direct Vent air-inlet piping (an option
for models Lx500WH-Lx800WH), provisions for combustion and ventilation air, in accordance with section
“Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (U.S.), or
Clause 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 of Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1 (Canada), or
applicable provisions of the local building codes, must be adhered to.
Closet Installations
For closet installations, it is necessary to provide two ventilation air openings as shown in Figure 3-1(a), (b) and
(c), each providing a minimum area equal to 1 in2per 1000 Btu/hr, but not less than 100 in2and within 6” of the
top and bottom of the closet door. See Table 3-1for minimum recommended clearances.
Alcove Installations
Alcove installations have the same minimum clearances as closet installations, except the front must be
completely open to the room at a distance no greater than 18” [457 mm] from the front of the water heater and
the room is at least three (3) times the size of the alcove. Provided these conditions are met, the water heater
requires no extra ventilation air openings to the space. See Table 3-1for minimum recommended clearances.
Residential Garage Installations
When installed in a residential garage, mount the water heater a minimum of 18” [457 mm] above the floor.
Locate or protect the water heater so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle. Check with your local
authorities for other possible regulations pertaining to the installation of a water heater in a garage.

utilizes the approved venting material and rules described in this section.
Vent and Air-inlet are to be piped separately. The Trinity Lx cannot share a common vent
or air-inlet with multiple appliances. Failure to comply will result in serious injury or
death.
Removing an Existing Water heater from Common Venting System
Do not install the Trinity Lx into a common venting system with any other appliances.
Failure to comply with this warning will cause flue gas spillage and leech carbon
monoxide emissions into the surrounding air resulting in serious injury or death.
When an existing water heater is removed from a common venting system, the common
venting system is likely to be too large for proper venting of the remaining appliances
connected to it. Instructions have been provided on how to remove the existing water
heater and how to resize the remaining venting system. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.
At the time of removal of an existing water heater, the following steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system placed in operation, while the other appliances remaining
connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
Steps to Removing an Existing Water Heater
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch. Verify that there is no blockage,
restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as is practical, close fireplace dampers, all building doors and windows and all doors between the
space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other
spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at
maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan.
4. Place in operation the water heater being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so
water heater will operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a
match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to the common venting system
properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and
any other gas burning appliance to their previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code. When resizing any portion of the common venting system, the common venting system
should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CAN/CSA B149.1, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code.

Lx –WH Series Installation and Operation Instructions │Trinity Lx
13
Direct Vent Installation (Mandatory for models Lx200WH-Lx400WH)
When installed as a Direct Vent water heater the combustion air-inlet must also be piped directly to the outdoors
using the methods described in this section and in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(U.S.) or CSA B149.1 (Canada) and local requirements.
Indoor Combustion Air (Optional for models Lx500WH-Lx800WH)
When the installation uses Indoor Combustion Air (i.e. piping is not directly connecting the water heater air-inlet
fitting to the outdoors), provisions for combustion and ventilation air, in accordance with section “Air for
Combustion and Ventilation,” of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (U.S.), or Clause 8.2, 8.3
or 8.4 of Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA B149.1 (Canada), or applicable provisions of
the local building codes, must be adhered to.
The water heater shall be located so as not to interfere with proper circulation of
combustion, ventilation, and dilution air.
Make up air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation systems,
clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the adequacy of a space
to provide combustion air requirements. Failure to ensure adequate make up air to all
appliances may result in personal injury or death.
Controller RPM Adjustments –To avoid the potential water heater lockouts due to wind
and static pressure differences, the Lightoff and Minimum Modulation RPM Rates must be
adjusted as per Figures 4-11 and 4-21 in Appendix A when using indoor combustion air.
Air Filter Kit (P/N 84093) –When using indoor combustion air (non-Direct Vent), it is highly recommended to
use the optional Air Filter Kit (P/N 84093) to limit the amount of dust that enters the combustion system. The
Filter Kit can be installed on water heater models Lx500WH-Lx800WH, as illustrated in Figure 4-1
(comprehensive installation instructions are provided with the Filter Kit).
Venting Limitation –When using the Air Filter Kit on models Lx500WH & Lx600WH,
the maximum equivalent exhaust vent length is limited to 30 ft. with 4” piping, or 90 ft.
with 6” piping; see warning below Table 4-5.

Combustion Air-inlet Contamination
Be careful not to locate the Air-inlet termination in an area where contaminants can be drawn in and used for
combustion. Combustion air containing dust, debris or air-borne contaminants will drastically increase the
required maintenance and may cause a corrosive reaction in the Heat Exchanger which could result in premature
failure, fire, serious injury, or death. See Table 4-1 for a list of areas to avoid when terminating air-intake piping:
Table 4-1 Corrosive Products and Contaminant Sources
Products to Avoid
Contaminated Sources to Avoid
Antistatic fabric softeners, bleaches, detergents, cleaners
Laundry facilities
Perchloroethylene (PCE), hydrocarbon based cleaners
Dry cleaning facilities
Chemical fertilizer, herbicides/pesticides, dust, methane gas
Farms or areas with livestock and manure
Paint or varnish removers, cements or glues, sawdust
Wood working or furniture refinishing shops
Water chlorination chemicals (chloride, fluoride)
Swimming pools, hot tubs
Solvents, cutting oils, fiberglass, cleaning solvents
Auto body or metal working shops
Refrigerant charge with CFC or HCFC
Refrigerant repair shops
Permanent wave solutions
Beauty shops
Fixer, hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid), bromide, iodine
Photo labs, chemical / plastics processing plants
Cement powder, crack fill dust, cellulose, fiber based insulation
Concrete plant or construction site
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death.
It is BEST PRACTICE to pipe the combustion air-inlet directly to the outdoors (Direct
Vent installation) to avoid contamination often contained in indoor air.
Flammable Solvents and Plastic Piping
Due to the extremely flammable characteristics of most glues, cements, solvents and primers used in the process
of joining plastic vent and air-inlet pipe, explosive solvent vapors must be evacuated from the vent and air-intake
prior to start-up. Avoid using excess cement or primer that may lead to pooling inside the pipe assembly. Freshly
assembled piping assembly should be allowed to cure for a minimum of 8 hours before applying power to the gas
fired appliance. Refer to Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting in this section.
Flammable Cements and Primers –It is the installers’ responsibility to familiarize
themselves with the hazards associated with explosive solvents and to take all precautions
to reduce these risks. Failure to follow these instructions can cause explosions, property
damage, injury or death.
Mandatory Pre-commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting (PVC or CPVC)
Do not apply power to the water heater prior to Step 4 in the Mandatory Pre-
commissioning Procedure for Plastic Venting.
Spark Igniter Cable -Maintain a minimum 2” separation between spark igniter circuit
and conductors. Failure to follow instructions may result in component failure, injury or
death.
1) Working with the power turned off to the water heater, completely install the vent and air-inlet system,
securely cementing joints together. If possible, allow primers/cements to cure for 8 hours before firing the
burner. If curing time is less than 8 hours, proceed with Steps 2 through 6.
2) Maintain the water heater gas supply shut-off valve in the off position.
3) Disconnect electrical leads to the Hot Surface or Spark Igniter. Ensure the cables are placed in a fashion
where they will not arc to ground or other conductor. Refer to warning regarding Spark Igniter Cable.
4) Turn power on to the water heater and apply a heat demand.
5) Allow for 3 complete trials for ignition, consisting of pre and post purge of the combustion blower, until an
ignition lockout occurs. Repeat the process two more times (i.e. 9 complete ignition sequences in total).
6) Turn power off and reconnect the electrical leads to the Igniter.

Lx –WH Series Installation and Operation Instructions │Trinity Lx

Near Water Heater Vent/Air-inlet Piping
Each Trinity Lx is equipped with a short piece of approved CPVC vent pipe (see Table 4-2 CPVC Vent Pipe
Transition Piece). Insert one end into the water heater flue outlet adapter and cement the other to field venting
(see Table 4-4 for approved venting material). The CPVC vent pipe should extend fully into the water heater
flue outlet adapter (see Table 4-2). Ensure that the venting system does not apply a load or strain on the water
heater flue outlet adapter. The manufacturer recommends using two elbows to create a “swing joint”to reduce
potential strain on vent piping and cemented joints; see Figures 4-2 through 4-5.
Gasket Seating - Improper seating can cause leakage and eventual failure of the sealing
gasket. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death.
PVC Exhaust Venting –DO NOT insert PVC pipe directly into the water heater exhaust
adapter, as it can deform from the clamping force of the gear clamp. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in gasket failure and/or the dislodging of the exhaust pipe
from the water heater adapter, resulting in property damage, serious injury or death.

Vent and Air-inlet Pipe Length Determination
Use Table 4-5 to determine the maximum pipe length that can be used. The table calculates sweep, 90º elbows,
and 45º elbows at 5 equivalent feet each. Note: model Lx200WH has limitations when operating with Propane
Gas (LP).
Example:An Lx200WH can be installed with 105 equivalent feet of air-inlet piping and 105 equivalent feet of
exhaust vent piping when operating with Natural Gas. When operating with Propane Gas (LP), the maximum
length of each the exhaust vent and air-inlet pipe is limited to 50 equivalent feet (3” diameter pipe).
The length of one vent pipe (air-inlet or exhaust) may not exceed the length of the other

Notes:
1Only 6” exhaust vent is permissible for models Lx700-800. Air-inlet pipe can be 4” or 6” (6” is highly recommended).
2Models Lx600WH-Lx800WH operate with Natural Gas only.
3Models Lx500WH & Lx600WH are limited to 30 ft. of 4” or 90 ft. of 6” exhaust venting when using the Air Filter Kit
(P/N 84093).
Air Filter Kit venting restrictions - Models Lx500WH & Lx600WH are limited to 30
equivalent feet of 4” (or 90 equivalent feet of 6”) exhaust vent when using the optional
Air Filter Kit. When transitioning from 4” to 6”, the 4” venting used must be counted 3
times to convert to an equivalent length in 6”.
Example: An application uses one 90º elbow and 5 feet of 4” venting before converting to 6”; therefore, the 4”
venting has an equivalent length of 30’ [(5’+5’) x 3] of 6” venting; thus allowing an additional 60’ equivalent
of 6” venting (Note: Example is only true with Lx500-600 models using the optional Indoor Combustion Air
Kit).
