Vent material

The GWH-345/450-ESR requires 3 inch sealed single
wall stainless steel vent pipe (AL29-4C). Use of any
other vent material will void the manufactures warranty
and may result in a hazardous condition. For specific
questions concerning vent material, specifications,
usage or installation, contact the vent manufacturer
directly.

Contact your Bosch supplier for stocked vent material.

Vent Safety System

The GWH-345/450-ESR will shut down if inadequate
exhaust venting is detected or a lack of combustion air
is provided to the unit; see troubleshooting section on
page 34. Correct the problem and then reset the heater
before operating.

Exhaust vent connection

B

Attach the flue gas exhaust accessory (8 705 504
142) to the top of the unit (position 1) using the 4
screws and gasket provided

B

Insert 3" single wall stainless steel vent pipe into
exhaust vent adapter 1.5" and tighten the clamp
