Outdoor Water Heaters
These heaters are design certified for outdoor installa-
tion. Heaters must not be installed under an overhang
of less than three (3) feet from the top on the heater.
Three (3) sides must be open in the area under the
overhang. Roof water drainage must be diverted away
from the heaters installed under overhangs with the
use of gutters.
The point from where the flue products exit the heater
must be a minimum of four (4) feet below, four (4) feet
horizontally from or one (1) foot above any door, win-
dow or gravity inlet to a building. The top surface of the
heater shall be at least three (3) feet above any forced
air inlet, or intake ducts located within ten (10) feet hor-
izontally.
High Wind Conditions (Outdoor
Units Only)
In areas where high winds are frequent, it may be nec-
essary to locate the heater a minimum of 3' from high
vertical walls, or install a wind break so the heater is
not in direct wind current.
Combustion Air (Indoor Units
Only) Air for Combustion and
Ventilation
The heater must have both combustion and ventilation
air. Minimum requirements for net free air supply
openings are 12 inches from ceiling for ventilation and
12 inches from the floor for combustion air as outlined
in ANSI Z223.1, and any local codes that may have
jurisdiction.
Fig. 3: Outdoor Clearances from Openings
a. All Air From Inside The Building:
Each opening shall have a minimum net free square
inches as noted:
b. All Air From Outdoors:
When air is supplied directly from outside of building,
each opening shall have a minimum net free square
inches as noted:
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which
can damage the heater. Measures must be taken to
prevent the entry of corrosive chemical fumes to the
combustion and ventilation air supply. Such
chemicals include, but are not limited to, chlorinated
and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in
refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry-cleaning fluids,
degreasers, and paint removers. Other harmful
elements may come from bleaches, air fresheners,
or mastics. Vapors from these types of products can
form corrosive acid compounds when burned in a
gas flame. The resulting acidic condensate can
damage or substantially reduce the life of the heater.
It may become necessary to provide outside air
directly to the heater in order to avoid this problem.
