Location Requirements

The water heater design has been tested by CSA 

International and complies with ANSI Z21.10.1, Section 

2.35 Flammable Vapors Resistance.  In garage installation 

avoid damage to your water heater by installing a vehicle 

stop as shown in figure below.  Check state and local 

codes for requirements prior to installation.

Important:

  The water heater should be located in 

an area where leakage of the tank or connections will 

not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water 

heater or to lower floors of the structure. 

Due to the 

normal corrosive action of the water, the tank will 

eventually leak after an extended period of time. 

Also any external plumbing leak, including those 

from improper installation, may cause early failure 

of the water tank due to corrosion if not repaired. 

A qualified service technician should be contacted 

for repairs.

  A suitable metal drain pan should be 

installed under the water heater as shown below, to 

help protect the property from damage which may 

occur from condensate formation or leaks in the piping 

connections or tank. The pan must limit the water level 

to a maximum depth of 1-3/4” (4.45 cm) and be at least 

two inches (5 cm) wider than the heater and piped to an 

adequate drain. Locate the water heater near a suitable 

indoor drain. Outside drains are subject to freezing 

temperatures which can obstruct the drain line. The 

piping should be at least 3/4” (1.91 cm) ID and pitched 

for proper drainage. Under no circumstances will the 

manufacturer or seller of this water heater be held liable 

for any water damage which is caused by your failure to 

follow these instructions.

 

The water heater should be located in an area not sub-

ject to freezing temperatures. Water heaters  located in 

unconditioned spaces (i.e., attics,  basements, etc) may 

require insulation of the  water piping and drain piping 

to protect against freezing. The drain and controls must 

be easily accessible for operation and service. Maintain 

proper clearances as specified on the data plate.

 

Figure 1: Garage Installation 

Do not store or use gasoline or other 

flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity 
of this or any other appliance. Storage of or 
use of gasoline or other flammable vapors 
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other 
appliance can result in serious injury or death

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Can result in serious injury or death

This water heater is not certified for installation in mobile 

homes.

Note:

 In the State of California, the water heater must be 

braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during an 

earthquake. Contact local utilities for code requirements in 

your area or call 1-800-999-9515 and request instructions.

Site Location

 

Select a location near the center of the water piping 

system. The water heater must be installed   indoors 

and in a vertical position on a level surface. DO NOT 

install in bathrooms, bedrooms, or any occupied room 

normally kept closed. 

Note:

 The water heater may be 

installed in a closet with a door off a bedroom or bath-

room providing the units are installed and vented per 

the manufacturer’s instructions.

 

Consider the inlet and exhaust vent system piping  

when selecting the water heater location.  The venting 

system must be able to run from the water heater to 

the termination with a minimal length and number of 

elbows.  Input rates are reduced as vent system length 

increases.  The venting system must comply with the 

requirements  set forth in the venting section of this 

manual.

 

Locate the water heater near the existing gas piping. 

If installing a new gas line, locate the water heater to 

minimize the pipe length and elbows.

Important:

  Air for combustion and ventilation must not 

come from a corrosive atmosphere.  Any failure due to cor-

rosive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from war-

ranty coverage.

Note:

  The water heater must be installed according to all 

local and state codes or in absence of the local and state 

codes with the “National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1 

(NFPA 54)-current edition.  Canadian installations must be 

performed in accordance with CAN/CSA-B149.1-current 

edition. 

1-3/4” (4.45 cm) Max.
