At this point, make sure the
supply and exhaust slide pipes
have been inserted into the flue
terminal.
Make sure the connections are secure and take measures to
prevent exhaust gas from leaking. Use high temperature sealant
if necessary.
(1) Drill a hole (3.0 dia.) through the water heater
exhaust the flue collar to meet with the hole in the
exhaust slide pipe of the flue terminal.
(2) Seal connections between the water heater and
the flue terminal with high temperature sealant to
ensure exhaust gas won't leak.
(3) Screw the exhaust slide pipe of the flue terminal to
the flue collar of the water heater using the
included tapping screw.
(4) Cover all of the connections between the water
heater and the flue terminal with the included
aluminum tape.
* Note that the aluminum tape by itself is not
sufficient to make the connection gas tight and
prevent the terminal from becoming disconnected
from the water heater.
(5) After completing the installation, perform a test run of
the water heater according to the installation manual.
