INSULATION BLANKETS

Do not obstruct water heater air intake

with insulating blanket.
Gas and carbon monoxide detectors

are available.
Install water heater in accordance with

the instruction manual.

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or

death. Always read and understand instruction manual.

Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas

Insulation  blankets  are  available  to  the  general  public  for 

external  use  on  gas  water  heaters  but  are  not  necessary 

with  these  products.  The  purpose  of  an  insulation  blanket  is 

to  reduce  the  standby  heat  loss  encountered  with  storage 

tank heaters. The water heaters covered by this manual meet 

or  exceed  the  Energy  Policy  Act  standards  with  respect  to 

insulation  and  standby  heat  loss  requirements,  making  an 

insulation blanket unnecessary.
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, 

you  should  follow  these  instructions.  See  the  Installation 

Considerations  section  of  this  manual  for  identification 

of  components  mentioned  below.  Failure  to  follow  these 

instructions  can  restrict  the  air  flow  required  for  proper 

combustion, potentially resulting in fire, asphyxiation, serious 

personal injury or death.

• 

DO NOT

 apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as 

this will interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.

• 

DO NOT

 cover the thermostat or the Temperature-

Pressure Relief Valve.

• 

DO NOT

 allow the insulation to come within 2 inches (5 

cm) of the floor to prevent blockage of combustion air flow 

to the burner.

• 

DO NOT

 cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side 

of the water heater or nearby for future reference.

• 

DO

 obtain new warning and instruction labels from the 

manufacturer for placement on the blanket directly over 

the existing labels.

• 

DO

 inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make 

certain it does not sag, thereby obstructing the 

combustion air flow.

HARD WATER

Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or the threshold 

type  of  water  treatment  is  recommended.  This  will  protect  the 

dishwashers, coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other 

equipment.  See  the  Maintenance  Section  in  this  manual  for 

sediment and lime scale removal procedures.

CIRCULATION PUMPS

A circulating pump is used when a system requires a circulating 

loop  or  there  is  a  storage  tank  used  in  conjunction  with  the 

water  heater.  See  Water  Piping  Diagrams  in  this  manual  for 

installation location of circulating pumps. 
See the Circulation Pump Wiring Diagrams below for electrical 

hookup  information.  Install  in  accordance  with  the  current 

edition  of  the  National  Electrical  Code,  NFPA  70  or  the 

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

All bronze or stainless steel circulating pumps are recommended 

for used with commercial water heaters.
Some circulating pumps are manufactured with sealed bearings 

and do not require further lubrication. Some circulating pumps 

must be periodically oiled. Refer to the pump manufacturer’s 

instructions for lubrication requirements.
