WATER HEATER LOCATION & INSTALLATION
Location of Paloma Gas Water Heater
The water heater should be installed close to the most frequently used outlet and its position chosen with safety and service in mind. If this
water heater is part of a solar water heater system, it should also be installed close to the solar storage tank. Make sure people (particularly
children) will not touch the flue terminal. The flue terminal and air inlet must be clear of obstructions and shrubbery.
Clearance must be allowed for servicing of the water heater. The water heater must be accessible without the use of a ladder or scaffold.
Make sure the entire front panel can be removed for service. You must be able to read the information on the rating plate.
The water heater must not be installed in an area with a corrosive atmosphere where chemicals are stored or where aerosol propellants are
released. Remember the air may be safe to breathe, but when it goes through a flame, chemical changes take place which may attack the
water heater.
