INSTALLATION

Locating The Water Heater

DO NOT install the water heater in any location where gasoline or

flammable vapors are likely to be present.

Water Heaters in residential garages must be installed so that all

burner(s) and burner ignition device(s) are located not less than 18

inches

(46 cm)

above the floor and must be located or protected to

avoid physical damage. For other installations refer to local codes.

In the absence of local codes, the water heater must be installed in

compliance with the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1

- (Latest

Edition) and/or in Canada,

CAN/CGAB149 Installation Codes

(Latest

Editions).

The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing
this water heater, read the installation section of these instructions. After

reading these installation and operating instructions, select a location for the

water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to gas and water
supply lines.

DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could

be subjected to freezing temperatures

Make sure the cold water

pipes are not located directly above the gas control so that

condensate during humid weather does not drip on the controls

Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating
and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical

compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning

solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals,
calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals. These materials

are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to reveal

their presence.

NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED BY

EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE

WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE

HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY

CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.

The water heater must be located close enough to the outside wall to keep the

venting distance within the maximum distance described in the installation

instructions. Read the venting section in this installation instruction manual
before locating the water heater.

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or
water line connections and 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 adequately piped for proper drainage must be installed under the

water heater. The drain pan must not restrict combustion air flow. 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)

provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the

combination

emperature and pressure relief valve.

MINIMUM CLEARANCES

This installation must allow access to the front of the water heater and adequate
clearance must 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 must be
installed on top of a metal or wood panel 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 must be
covered by the panel. The minimum clearances to combustibles for this water

heater are: zero (0) inch

(0 cm)

from the sides and rear, five (5) inches

(12.7

cm)

from the front of the jacket, zero (0) inch

(0 cm)

from the vent connector

and fifteen (15) inches

(38.1 cm)

from the jacket top.

VENTING

This venting section is divided into two parts. Part I will cover

venting specifications for 48 Gal - 65,000 BTU (181.7 L - 19.1 kW/

Hr), 65 Gal -65,000 BTU (246.1 L - 19.1 kW/Hr), and 75 Gal -

WARNING

Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas are 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.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your

building.

• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the

gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!

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
