note: 

This  unit  can  be  vented  using  only  the  following 

 

materials: PVC (Cellular Core;  ASTM-F891), PVC (DWV; ASTM 

D2665 or CSA B181.2), PVC (Sch 40, 80, 120;  ASTM D1785 or 

CSA B137.3), PVC (SDR Series;  ASTM-D2241 or CSA B137.3), 

CPVC    (CPVC  41;   ASTM-D2846    or    CSA  B137.6),    CPVC 

(Sch 40, 80;  ASTM-F441 or CSA B137.6), CPVC (SDR Series; 

ASTM-F442), ABS (Sch 40 DWV; ASTM D2661 or CSA B181.1), 

ABS (Sch 40 DWV cellular core; ASTM-F628). The fittings, other 

than the 

TERMINATION  should  be  equivalent  to  PVC-DWV 

fittings meeting ASTM D-2665 (Use CPVC fittings, ASTM F-438 

for  CPVC  pipe  and ABS  fittings, ASTM  D-2661/3311  for ABS 

pipe). If CPVC or ABS pipe and fittings are used, then the proper 

cement must be used for all joints, including joining the pipe to 

the Termination (PVC Material). If local codes do not allow the 

use of the PVC termination when a material other than PVC is 

used for venting, then an equivalent fitting of that material may 

be substituted if the screen in the PVC terminal is removed and 

inserted into the new fitting.

  PVC Materials should use ASTM D-2564 Grade Cement; CPVC 

Materials  should  use ASTM  F-493  Grade  Cement  and ABS 

Materials should use ASTM D-2235 Grade Cement.

  If  the  water  heater  is  being  installed  as  a  replacement  for  an 

existing power vented heater in pre-existing venting, a thorough 

inspection of the existing venting system must be performed prior 

to any installation work. Verify that the correct material as detailed 

above has been used, and that the minimum or maximum vent 

lengths and terminal location as detailed in this manual have been 

met. Carefully inspect the entire venting system for any signs of 

cracks or fractures, particularly at the joints between elbows and 

other fittings and the straight runs of vent pipe. Check the system 

for signs of sagging or other stresses in the joints as a result of 

misalignment of any components in the system. If any of these 

conditions are found, they must be corrected in accordance with 

the  venting  instructions  in  this  manual  before  completing  the 

installation and putting the water heater into service.

  note:

 

a.

  For  water  heaters  in  locations  with  high  ambient 

temperatures (above 100°F) it is recommended that CPVC or 

ABS pipe and fittings be used. 

B.

 A 22.5 degree elbow (2” vent 

pipe) or a 45 degree elbow (3” and 4” vent pipe) with an installed 

screen VENT TERMINAL must be used in all cases.

condensate

Condensate formation does not occur in all installations of power 

vented water heaters, but should be protected against on installations 

where it can form in the venting system. Condensation in the venting 

system of power vented water heaters is dependent upon installation 

conditions  including,  but  not  limited  to  ambient  temperature  and 

humidity of installation location, ambient temperature and humidity 

of venting space, vent discharge and slope, and product usage. In 

certain conditions, installations in unconditioned space or having 

long horizontal or vertical vent runs may accumulate condensate.  

In  these  conditions,  the  vent  pipe  should  be  sloped  downward 

away from the blower assembly (not less than 1/8” (3.2 mm) nor 

greater than 1/2” (12.7 mm) per foot maximum). If the vent piping 

is vented level or sloped upwards away from the blower assembly, 

then adequate means for draining and disposing of the condensate 

needs to be made by the installer (if condensate is detected).  If you 

have condensate, then a 3/8” drain hose can be connected to the 

built-in drain port of the rubber boot on the blower assembly.  For 

your convenience, the rubber boot is supplied with a removable cap 

on the built-in drain port.  Prior to operating the water heater, make 

sure the removable cap is installed on the drain port (if a drain hose 

is not needed).

Blower asseMBlY InstallatIon

1.  Check to make sure that the wire harness is attached to the gas 

valve and blower control box.

2.  Make sure no material is still attached to the outside or inside 

of blower assembly.

fIGure 15. Blower asseMBlY

3.  Make  sure  that  plastic  tubing  is  still  attached  to  the  pressure 

switch and fan housing.  Also make sure that wiring connector 

from motor to control box is securely attached.
