C. CLEARANCES FOR SERVICE ACCESS
Figure 1 - If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown above, it might not be possible to service the
heater without removing it from the space.
A water heater pan must be installed to protect the surrounding area from damage caused by leaking
water.
The space must be provided with combustion/ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other
appliances located in the same space as the heater. Failure to comply with the above warnings could
result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
D. RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
If the heater is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
•
Mount the bottom of the heater a minimum of 18” above the floor of the garage, to ensure the
burner and ignition devices are well off the floor.
•
When raising the heater, be certain to fully support its entire filled weight.
•
Locate or protect the heater so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle.
E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE AIR VENT
The heater is rated ANSI Z21.10.3 Category IV (pressurized vent, likely to form condensate in the vent)
and requires a special vent system designed for pressurized venting.
NOTE: The venting options described here (and further detailed in Venting, Part 8 in this manual)
are the lone venting options approved for this water heater. Failure to vent the water heater in
accordance with the provided venting instructions will void the warranty.
Failure to vent the water heater properly will result in serious personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Heater intake and exhaust connections are not designed to carry
heavy weight. Vent support brackets must be within 1’ of the heater and the balance at 4’ intervals.
Heater must be readily accessible for visual inspection for the first 3’ from the heater.
