for convenient locations to:
-
Domestic water supply piping
-
Heating system piping
-
Venting
-
Gas supply piping
-
Electrical service
Ensure the area chosen for the installation of
the PERFORMANCE is free of any com-
bustible materials, gasoline and other flamma-
ble liquids.
Failure to remove or maintain the area
free of combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable liquids or vapors
can result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Ensure the PERFORMANCE and its controls
are protected from dripping or spraying water
during normal operation or service.
The PERFORMANCE should be installed
in a location so that any water leaking from
the tank or piping connections or relief
valves will not cause damage to the area
surrounding the unit or any lower floors in
the structure.

When such a location is unavoidable a
suitable drain pan with adequate
drainage should be placed under the
unit. The drain pan must not restrict the
flow of combustion air to the unit.
