These designs comply with the latest 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
latest editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 and the National Electric Code, NFPA 70 CSA B149.1 and
CSA C22.1. The former is available from the Canadian Standards
