Locating Water Heater
• This water heater is not intended for out-
door installations.
• Keep distance between boiler and water
heater to a minimum to:
– reduce piping heat loss
– provide minimal friction loss
• Locate water heater so that any leakage from
the tank or water connections will not cause
damage to the area adjoining the water heater
or to lower floors in the structure.
– When such a location is unavoidable, a
suitable drain pan with adequate drainage,
should be placed under the water heater.
• The COMFORT Series Water Heaters are
designed for vertical installation only.
Recommended Clearances

adequate clearance for servicing.
• Zero clearance is permissible to any side of
the COMFORT Series water heater, but
information labels may be hidden.
• Recommended top or vertical clearance is 12”
minimum.
• Refer to boiler manual for boiler clearances.
