Determine water heater location

The Armor X2 water heater gas manifold 
and controls met safe lighting and other 
performance under tests specified in ANSI 
Z21.10.3 – latest edition.

Failure to keep water heater area clear and 
free of combustible materials, gasoline, and 
other flammable liquids and vapors can 
result in severe personal injury, death, or 
substantial property damage.

Installation must comply with:

•  Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, 

and ordinances.

•   National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 – latest edition.
•   National Electrical Code.
•   For Canada only: B149.1 Installation Code, CSA C22.1 

Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and any local codes.

Before locating the water heater, check:

1.  Check for nearby connection to:

• Water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power

2.  Locate the appliance so that if water connections should 
  leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations 
  cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable 
  drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the 
  appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air 
  flow. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be 
  held responsible for water damage in connection with 
 

this appliance, or any of its components.

3. Check area around the water heater. Remove any 
  combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable 
 liquids.

4.  The Armor X2 water heater must be installed so that gas 

control system components are protected from dripping or 
spraying water or rain during operation or service.

5.  If a new water heater will replace an existing water heater, 

check for and correct system problems, such as:

• System leaks causing oxygen corrosion or heat exchanger 

cracks from hard water deposits.

6.      Check around the water heater for any potential air 

contaminants that could risk corrosion to the water heater 
or the water heater combustion air supply (see Table 1A 
on page 10).  Prevent combustion air contamination. 

 

Remove any of these contaminants from the water heater 
area.

Provide clearances:

Clearances from combustible materials

1.  Hot water pipes—at least 1/4" from combustible 

materials.

2.  Vent pipe – at least 1" from combustible materials.
3.  See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for other clearance 

minimums.

Clearances for service access

1.  See FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 on page 8 for recommended 
 

service clearances.  If you do not provide the 

 

minimum clearances shown, it may not be possible 

 

to service the water heater without removing it from 

 the 

space.

Closet and alcove installations

For closet and alcove installations as 
shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2, CPVC, 
polypropylene, and stainless steel 
vent material must be used inside the 
structure. The ventilating air openings 
shown in FIG.’s 1-1 and 1-2 are 
required for this arrangement. Failure 
to follow this warning could result in 
fire, personal injury, or death.

 WARNING

 WARNING

 NOTICE

This appliance requires a special 
venting system. Use only the vent 
materials, primer and cement 
specified in this manual to make the 
vent connections.  Failure to follow 
this warning could result in fire, 
personal injury, or death.

 WARNING

A closet is any room the water heater is installed in which 
is less than 778 cubic feet for AW1000 models, 847 cubic 
feet for AW1300 models, and 914 cubic feet for AW1500 
models.

An alcove is any room which meets the criteria for a 
closet with the exception that it does not have a door.

Example:

  Room dimensions = 9 feet long, 9 feet wide, 

and 9 foot ceiling = 9 x 9 x 9 = 729 cubic feet.  This would 
be considered a closet for a Armor X2 water heater.

     

Installation & Operation Manual

 WARNING

This appliance is certified as an indoor 
appliance. Do not install the appliance 
outdoors or locate where the appliance will 
be exposed to freezing temperatures or to 
temperatures that exceed 100°F.
Do not install the appliance where the 
relative humidity may exceed 93%.  Do not 
install the appliance where condensation 
may form on the inside or outside of the 
appliance, or where condensation may fall 
onto the appliance.
Failure to install the appliance indoors 
could result in severe personal injury, 
death, or substantial property damage.

DO NOT install units in rooms or 
environments that contain corrosive 
contaminants (see Table 1A on page 10). 

 

Failure to comply could result in severe 
personal injury, death, or substantial 
property damage.

 WARNING
