These designs comply with the current version of the American National 

Standard for Gas Water Heaters, Volume III, ANSI Z21.10.3 / CSA 4.3 as 

an  automatic  circulating  tank  water  heater,  and  automatic  storage  water 

heaters.

Detailed installation diagrams are found in this manual.  These diagrams will 

serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials and methods 

of piping necessary.  It is highly essential that all water, gas piping and wiring 

be installed as shown on the diagrams.

Particular attention should be given to the installation of thermometers at the 

locations indicated on the diagrams as these are necessary for checking the 

proper functioning of the heater.

In  addition  to  these  instructions,  the  equipment  shall  be  installed  in 

 

accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area 

where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed 

in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before 

installations are made.

In  the  absence  of  local  codes,  the  installation  must  comply  with  the 

current editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 

and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. All documents are available 

from the Canadian Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley 

Road, Cleveland, OH 44131. NFPA documents are also available from 

the National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, 

MA 02269.
