Installation & Service Manual
Installing vent and air piping
Use only cleaners, primers, and solvents that
are approved for the materials which are
joined together.
NOTICE
1. Work from the water heater to vent or air termination.
Do not exceed the lengths given in this manual for the
air or vent piping.
2. Cut pipe to the required lengths and deburr the inside
and outside of the pipe ends.
3. Chamfer outside of each pipe end to ensure even
cement distribution when joining.
4. Clean all pipe ends and fittings using a clean dry rag.
(Moisture will retard curing and dirt or grease will
prevent adhesion.)
5. Dry fit vent or air piping to ensure proper fit up before
assembling any joint. The pipe should go a third to
two-thirds into the fitting to ensure proper sealing after
cement is applied.
6. Priming and Cementing:
a. Handle fittings and pipes carefully to prevent
contamination of surfaces.
b. Apply a liberal even coat of primer to the fitting
socket and to the pipe end to approximately 1/2"
beyond the socket depth.
c. Apply a second primer coat to the fitting socket.
d. While primer is still wet, apply an even coat of
approved cement to the pipe equal to the depth of
the fitting socket along with an even coat of
approved cement to the fitting socket.
e. Apply a second coat of cement to the pipe.
f. While the cement is still wet, insert the pipe into
the fitting, if possible twist the pipe a 1/4 turn as
you insert it.
NOTE:
If voids are present,
sufficient cement was not applied and joint could
be
defective.
g. Wipe excess cement from the joint removing ring
or beads as it will needlessly soften the pipe.
PVC/CPVC
Table 2C
PVC/CPVC Vent Pipe, and Fittings
All CPVC and PVC vent pipes must be glued,
properly supported, and the exhaust must be
pitched a minimum of a 1/4 inch per foot
back to the water heater (to allow drainage
of condensate). Horizontal runs shall have
supports suitable for non-metallic vent
piping that do not clamp tightly onto vent,
allowing for vent expansion or contraction.
Supports shall be as close to joints and fittings
as practical and no more than 5 feet apart.
NOTICE
⚠
WARNING
The vent connection to the appliance must
be made with the starter CPVC pipe section
provided with the 285-500 models (starter
piece is factory installed on the 125-200
models) if PVC/CPVC vent is to be used.
The field provided vent fittings must be
cemented to the CPVC pipe section using
an “All Purpose Cement” suitable for PVC
and CPVC pipe. Use only the vent materials,
primer, and cement specified in Table 2C to
make the vent connections. Failure to follow
this warning could result in fire, personal
injury, or death.
⚠
WARNING
Insulation shall not be used on PVC or CPVC
venting materials. The use of insulation
will cause increased vent wall temperatures,
which could result in vent pipe failure.
