SECTION IV: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
INSTALLATION OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED
TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING, GAS SUPPLY AND
ELECTRICAL WORK ARE REQUIRED.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
•
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in
detection of the gas.
•
Most people
recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg” smell.
•
Other conditions, such as
“odorant fade” can cause the odorant to diminish in intensity, or “fade”, and not be as
readily detectable.
•
If you have a diminished sense of smell or are in any way unsure of the presence of gas, immediately contact
your gas supplier from a telephone in another building.
•
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing professional for more information.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements,
crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before
lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
•
DO NOT
try to light any appliance.
•
DO NOT
touch any electric switch;
DO NOT
use any telephone in your building.
•
Immediately call your gas
supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
WARNING
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank, water line connections, or the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower
floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the
water heater. The drain pan depth must be suitable for draining and collecting water and have a minimum length and
width of at least 4 in
(10.2 cm)
measured from the jacket of the water heater. The drain pan, as described above, can
be purchased from your plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. The piping must
be at least 3/4 in
(2 cm)
in diameter and pitched for proper drainage.
Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or
moving during an earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be obtained
from the DSA Headquarters Office: 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100, Sacramento CA 95811.
THIS WATER HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED INDOORS OUT OF THE WIND AND WEATHER.
THIS WATER HEATER MUST NOT BE INSTALLED IN ANY LOCATION WHERE GASOLINE OR FLAMMABLE
VAPORS ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT, UNLESS THE INSTALLATION IS SUCH TO ELIMINATE THE PROBABLE
IGNITION OF GASOLINE OR FLAMMABLE VAPORS.
