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 diameter of at least 4 in
(10.2 cm)
or greater 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.
Anode rods have been installed in the tank head of the water heater to extend tank life. The removal of these
anodes, except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually
active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the anode and the impurities in the
water. If this should happen, alternative anodes may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water
heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed
with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
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.
