Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
Proper venting practices must be considered when selecting a location for
this water heater. For exact venting specifications, please consult the
Venting section, located on page 9, of these Installation and Operating
Instructions.
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 must be no
greater than 1-½ inches
(3.8 cm)
deep and have a minimum length and width
of at least four (4) inches
(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 inch
(1.9 cm)
in diameter and pitched for
proper drainage.
It is recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4) inches
(10.2 cm)
be
provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve.
WARNING
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
neighbor’s telephone.
•
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing
professional for more information.

WARNING
Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions
may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the warranty.
This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this water
heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-
combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it
shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel (or equivalent) extending
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches
(7.6 cm)
in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel.
If the rating plate or
the label on the front of the heater specifies minimum clearances less
than those listed in the below table, the water heater may be installed in
accordance with the minimum clearances listed on the rating plate or
the label on the front of the heater.
If it is necessary to install this water heater in an alcove, use the clearances
listed in the following table and Figure 1.
