WARNING

 

Refer to the 

Laars

 EVERHOT

®

 IGI series Water Heater Installation and Operating Instruction 

Manual for details concerning vent system termination positions/clearances, allowable vent pipe 
lengths, and in what position dip switch #1 should be placed. If you do not understand how to 
configure your vent pipe system and/or which position dip switch #1 should be placed in, please 
contact your 

Laars

 supplier for assistance.  

 

 

WARNING

 

All joints in the vent/air intake piping must be taped with aluminum tape at the completion of the 
venting system installation to prevent any possible leakage into the room. 
Make sure all the pipe connections are firmly pressed together so that the gaskets form a tight seal. 

 

Prior to the Installation of EVERHOT

®

 direct vent systems: 

 
The EVERHOT

®

 IGI water heaters have two adjustable wall mounting support brackets fitted on the top 

and bottom of the appliance. When installing a “Standard Vent Discharge Kit" to vent directly through the 
wall to the back of the water heater, these brackets should be adjusted so that the water heater is spaced 
its maximum distance of 2" (5.1 cm) away from the wall. Before cutting the vent terminal to the 
appropriate length, ensure you have taken into account just how far the heater has been spaced away 
from the wall.   

 

    NOTICE

 

When mounting the water heater on an outside wall, be sure the Vent/Air Intake Pipe will exit between the 
wall studs.  DO NOT cut through the wall studs for the Vent/Air Intake Pipe opening. 

 

 

WARNING

 

All joints in the vent/air intake piping must be taped with aluminum tape at the completion of the 
venting system installation to prevent any possible leakage into the room. 
Make sure all the pipe connections are firmly pressed together so that the gaskets form a tight seal. 

 
 
 

When installing the EVERHOT

®

 IGI model series direct vent water heaters, use only EVERHOT 

vent/air intake system kits and components. Installation and service must be performed by a 
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Installation must meet all state and local 
codes regarding installation and location of vent systems for direct vent appliances.  In the 
absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, 
Natural Gas and 
Propane Installation Code. The maximum vent length, as stated in the EVERHOT IGI model series 
Water Heater Installation and Operating Instruction Manual and these instructions, should never be 
exceeded. Follow the instructions below and all instructions located in the EVERHOT IGI model 
series Water Heater Installation and Operating Instruction Manual when installing a vent pipe 
system. Improper installation of vent piping, or failure to follow all installation instructions 
completely, can result in property damage, and/or death.
