FOR MASSACHUSSETTS ONLY
For Massachusetts installations, the unit must be installed by a plumber or
gas-fitter who is licensed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In
addition, the installation must comply with all requirements specified in
Chapter 1 (Safety Precautions), pages 13 and 14.
2.4.2 Setting the Unit
The unit must be installed on a
4 to 6 inch (10.2 to 15.2 cm)
housekeeping pad to ensure
proper condensate drainage. Two lifting lugs are provided with the unit and are wire-tied to the
top of the heat exchanger. The top sheet metal cover of the unit must first be removed and the
lifting lugs must be installed as shown in Figure 2-2. USE THESE TWO LUGS TO LIFT AND
MOVE THE UNIT. Remove the top panel from the unit to provide access to the lifting lugs.
Remove the four (4) lag screws securing the unit to the shipping skid. Lift the unit off the
shipping skid and position it on the 4 to 6 inch (10.2 to 15.2 cm) housekeeping concrete pad
(required) in the desired location.
In multiple unit installations, it is important to plan the position of each unit in advance. Sufficient
space for piping connections and future service/maintenance requirements must also be taken
into consideration. All piping must include ample provisions for expansion
.

If the Innovation Water Heater is equipped for use with the C-More Water
Heater Management (WHM) system, then an actuator-controlled ball valve
will be included with the shipment. Refer to section 2.5.1 for installation
instructions prior to connecting inlet piping.
