INTRODUCTION
•This manual provides information necessary for the installation, operation, and maintenance
of the water heater.
•The model description is listed on the rating plate which is attached to the side panel of the
water heater.
•Please read all installation instructions completely before installing this product.
•If you have any problems or questions regarding this equipment, consult the manufacturer or
its local representative.
•This appliance is an on-demand, tankless water heater. It is designed to efficiently supply
endless hot water for your needs.
•The 110C, 310C, and 510C models are only to be installed indoors with concentric venting.
•The principle behind tankless water heaters is simple:
*This diagram illustrates tankless water heater design concepts only and does not accurately represent
the water heater’s physical description.
1. A hot water fixture is turned on.
2. Water flows through the heater.
3. The water flow sensor detects the water flow.
4. The computer initiates the fan motor and gas valve to let gas flow through the heater and sends a
signal to the igniter to create an ignition spark.
5. The gas ignites and flames appear within the burner chamber.
6. Water is heated as it flows through the heat exchanger.
7. Using thermistors to measure temperatures throughout the water heater, the computer modulates
the gas and water valves to ensure proper output water temperature and hot water outflows.
8. When the fixture is turned off, the unit shuts down.

2. Properly ground the unit in accordance with all local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the current
edition of the National Electrical Code: ANSI/NFPA 70 in the USA or CSA standard C22.1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1 in Canada.
3. Carefully plan where you intend to install the water heater. Please ensure:
•Your water heater will have enough combustion air and proper ventilation.
•Locate your heater where water leakage will not damage surrounding areas. (Please refer to p. 8.)
4. Check the rating plate for the correct GAS TYPE, GAS PRESSURE, WATER PRESSURE and ELECTRIC RATING. If
this unit does not match your requirements, do not install and consult with the manufacturer. The water
heater is configured only for use with Natural Gas at the factory. If the appliance is used with propane gas,
conversion to propane gas with an included conversion kit (LP Conversion Kit: 319143-580) is required. The
conversion must be done by a qualified service agent or a gas utility serviceman in accordance with this
instruction and all codes and requirements of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions
could result in serious injury or property damage. The agent performing this work assumes responsibility for
this conversion. (Refer to the gas conversion leaflet.)
5. If any problem should occur, turn off all hot water fixtures and turn off the gas. Then call a trained technician
or the Gas Company or the manufacturer.
WARNING
•Water temperatures over 125 °F (52 °C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalding. The water temperature is set at 120 °F (50 °C) from the factory to minimize any
scalding risk. Before bathing or showering always check the water temperature.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammables, vapors, or liquids in the vicinity of this
appliance.
•Do not reverse the water and/or gas connections as this will damage the gas valves and
can cause severe injury or death. Follow the diagram on p. 20 when installing your water
heater.
•The conversion to propane must be done by a qualified service agent or a gas utility
serviceman in accordance with this instruction and all codes and requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. Failure to follow instructions could result in serious injury
or property damage. The qualified agent performing this work assumes responsibility
for this conversion.
•Do not use this appliance if any part has been in contact with or been immersed in
water. Immediately call a licensed plumber, a licensed gas fitter, or a professional service
technician to inspect and/or service the unit if necessary.
•Do not disconnect the electrical supply if the ambient temperature will drop below
freezing. The Freeze Protection System only works if the unit has electrical power. The
warranty will not be covered if the heat exchanger is damaged due to freezing. Refer to
the section on the Freeze Protection System on p. 37 for more information.

INSTALLATION
GENERAL
1. Follow all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, follow the current edition of the National Fuel
GasCode:ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54intheUSAorCAN/CSAB149.1,NaturalGasandpropaneinstallation
code in Canada.
2. All gas water heaters require careful and correct installation to ensure safe and efficient operation.
This manual must be followed exactly. Read the “Safety Guidelines” section.
3. The manifold gas pressure is preset at the factory. It is computer controlled and should not need
adjustment.
4. Maintain proper space for servicing. Install the unit so that it can be connected or removed easily.
Refer to the "Clearances" section on p. 9 for proper clearances.
5. The electrical connection requires a means of disconnection, to terminate power to the water heater

VENTING INSTRUCTIONS
-General-
The water heater must be vented in accordance with the section “Venting of Equipment" of the current
editionoftheNationalFuelGasCode:ANSIZ223.1/NFPA54intheUnitedStatesand/orSection7ofthe
CAN/CSA B149.1 Natural Gas, propane installation code in Canada, as well as applicable local building codes.
The water heater is designed for a concentric venting system, which uses one pipe system with two
ducts for combustion air and exhaust air. The manufacturer approves the use of Centrotherm Eco
Systems Direct Vent APNC35 venting systems on new installations. This system is furnished through
the heater manufacturer. See the table below for certified vent terminations.
General rules for venting water heaters:
•Place the water heater as close as possible to the vent termination.
•Do not weld the vent pipe to the water heater’s vent collar.
•Do not cut the vent collar of the unit.
•The vent must be easily removable from the top of the water heater for normal service and
inspection of the unit and vent system.
•The water heater vent must not be connected to any other gas appliance or vent stack.
•Avoid using an oversized vent pipe or using extremely long runs of the pipe.
•Do not common vent or connect any vent from other appliances to the water heater vent.
•The vent should slope towards the heater and condensate collector (100266139). The
condensate trap (100266140) must be installed below the condensate collector's drain nipple to
keep condensate from draining back into the heater's exhaust and causing damage. Condensate
is corrosive and should be treated and disposed of according to local codes.
General rules for vent terminations:
•Avoid locating the water heater vent termination near any air intake devices. These fans can
pick up the exhaust flue products from the water heater and return them to the building. This
can create a health hazard.
•Locate the vent termination so that it cannot be blocked by any debris, at any time. Most codes
require that the termination must be at least 12 in. (305 mm) above grade and anticipated snow
line, but the installer may determine if it should be higher depending on the job site condition
and applicable codes.
•A proper sidewall termination is recommended when the water heater is vented through a
sidewall.
•Regarding the clearances from the exhaust termination to the air inlet or opening, refer to
p 11, 16, and 17.

-Vent length and No. of Elbows-
This is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly. For best results, a vent system should be
as short and straight as possible.
•This water heater is a Category III appliance and must be vented accordingly with concentric
vent approved for use with Category III or Special BH type gas vent.
•Follow the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions and the instructions in this manual when
installing the vent pipe.
•Do not common vent this appliance with any other vented appliance. (Do not terminate vent
inside a chimney. If the vent must go through the chimney, it must run through the top of the
chimney and terminate with the roof termination listed on page 10. Install per the vent manu-
facturer's instructions.)
•When the horizontal vent run exceeds 5 ft. (1.5 m), support the vent run at 3 ft. (0.9 m) intervals
with overhead hangers.
•The maximum length of exhaust vent piping must not exceed 43 ft. (13.1 m) (deducting 5 ft. (1.5
m) for each 87° elbow used in the venting system). Do not use more than 4 pieces of 87° elbows.

GAS SUPPLY AND GAS PIPE SIZING
-General-
•The minimum and maximum inlet gas pressures
•Inlet gas pressures that fall outside the range of values listed above may adversely affect the
performance of the water heater. These pressures are measured when the water heater is in full
operation.
•Inlet gas pressure must not exceed the above maximum values; gas pressure above the specified range
will cause dangerous operating conditions and damage to the unit.
•Until testing of the main gas line supply pressure is completed, ensure the gas line to the water heater
is disconnected to avoid any damage to the water heater.
•If the gas supply pressure to the heater is greater than the specified maximum, a field-supplied
regulator is required. The regulator must lower the gas pressure within the approved range.
•Install the gas regulator according to the manufacturer's instructions.
•The regulator must be sized for the water heater input and provide the specified pressures that
are listed on the rating plate.
•In the absence of minimum install distance, it is recommended that the gas regulator be installed
no closer than 3 ft. (1 m) from the water heater's inlet gas connection.
-Gas connecons-
1. Install a full port, manual gas shutoff valve between the water heater and the gas supply line.
2. When the gas connections are completed, it is necessary to perform a gas leak test either by applying
soapy water to all gas fittings and observing for bubbles or by using a gas leak detection device.
•The water heater and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.5 kPa).
•The water heater must be isolated 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 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
3. Always purge the gas line of any debris and/or water before connecting to the gas inlet.
Size the gas pipe to supply the necessary volume of gas for the water heater. Refer
toandfollowtherequirementslistedinthecurrenteditionofANSIZ223.1/NFPA
54 (USA), CAN/CSA B149.1 (Canada), or local codes. Otherwise, flow capabilities
and output temperatures will be limited.
NOTICE
Gas type Inlet gas pressure
Natural Gas Min. 5.0” W.C. (1.24 kPa) – Max. 10.5” W.C. (2.61 kPa)
Propane Min. 8.0” W.C. (1.99 kPa) – Max. 14.0” W.C. (3.48 kPa)
•Do not use this water heater with any gas other than the one listed on the
rating plate unless the water heater has been properly converted.
•Ensure that any and all gas regulators used are operating properly and
providing gas pressures within the specified range shown below. Excess gas
inlet pressure may cause serious accidents.
•If your water heater needs a gas conversion, refer to the instructions supplied
with the heater and included with the conversion components.

Based on Energy
Content of 1,000
BTU/Cubic ft:
Divide each
appliance's BTU/h
requirement by
1,000 BTU/ft3to get
the appliances ft3/h
requirement.
Take into account
the distance the
appliance is from
the gas meter, then
look in the above
gas chart to properly
size the line.
For sections of the
gas line supplying gas to more than one appliance (Ex: Point A to Point B), add up the cubic ft. per hour requirements
of the appliances that are being supplied by that section, and size to the farthest appliance.
For Example: The section from A to B supplies gas to the furnace, range and dryer. Adding up the BTU/h requirements
and dividing by 1,000 yields a cubic ft. per hour requirement of 220 cubic ft. of gas per hour. The farthest appliance
is the range, which is 50 ft. (15.2 m) away from the meter. According to the chart above, the 50-ft. (15.2 m) column
shows that Section A to B must be 1" in order to supply 220 cubic ft per hour.

-Measuring inlet gas pressure-
The water heater cannot perform properly without sufficient inlet gas pressure. Below are instructions
on how to check the inlet gas pressure. THIS IS ONLY TO BE DONE BY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL.
Installaon
Installaon Manual
1. Shut off the manual gas valve on the gas supply line.
2. Remove the screw for the pressure port located on the gas inlet of the water
heater shown in the diagram on the right.
3. Connect the manometer to the pressure port.
4. Re-open the manual gas valve. Verify that there are not any gas leaks.
5. With all gas burning equipment off, take a reading of the static gas pressure.
6. Measure gas supply pressure at maximum heater operation: Open up water
faucets to create maximum flow. Take a reading of the supply dynamic gas
pressure with all gas burning equipment running at maximum rate.
7. The static and dynamic pressures should be within the ranges specified on
the heater's rating plate and the table on page 18.
8. The difference of static to dynamic pressure should not exceed 1.5" W.C.
Pressure drops that exceed 1.5" W.C. can indicate restricted gas flow, under-
sized gas lines, and/or undersized supply regulators.
9. Measure gas supply pressure at minimum heater operation: Reduce water
flow so the heater is running at minimal operation. Take a supply gas pres-
sure reading and verify that it is within the specified inlet gas pressure range.
1. Turn off all electric power to the water heater if service is to be performed.
2. Turn the manual gas valve located on the outside of the unit clockwise to the off position.
WARNING
WATER CONNECTIONS
•Do not use this water heater if any part has been submersed under water. Immediately
call a licensed professional to inspect the water heater to replace any damaged parts.
•Do not reverse the hot outlet and cold inlet connections to the water heater. This will
not properly activate the water heater.
CAUTION
4. Before installing the water heater, flush the
water line to remove all debris, and after
installation is complete, purge the air from
the line. Failure to do so may cause damage
to the water heater.
5. There is a wire mesh filter within the cold
inlet to trap debris from entering your heater.
This will need to be cleaned periodically to
maintain optimum flow. (Refer to p. 38.)
All pipes, pipe fittings, valves and other components, including soldering materials, must be suitable for
potable water systems.
1. A manual shutoff valve must be installed on the cold water inlet to the water heater between the
main water supply line and the water heater.
2. In addition, a manual shutoff valve is also recommended on the hot water outlet of the unit.
Isolation valves are available.
