Servicing should only be performed by a Qualified Service Technician

GAS VALVE

All BTN and BTR water heaters are classified by ANSI as Category I (non-condensing, negative pressure

venting) appliances. They are approved for type B vent. The draft inducer does not pressurize the exhaust.

For larger applications BTN and BTR 151,

201 water heaters can be common vented

together, either in a tapered manifold or

constant size manifold.
Follow the National Fuel Gas Codes

requirements for sizing and installation

of fan-assisted products. BTN and BTR

151/201 models may be common vented

only with other Category I appliances.
See the Venting Section in the National Fuel

Gas Code.
