Location
The water heater should not be located in
an area where leakage from the tank or
connections will result in damage to the
area adjacent to the heater or to lower
floors of the structure.
When such areas cannot be avoided it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan,
adequately drained, must be installed
under the water heater.
The water heater must be centered in the
catch pan.
The pan must not restrict air flow to the
combustion air inlet openings (perforation
openings) located around the lower
perimeter of the water heater.
Catch pan kits are available from the store
where the water heater was purchased, or
any water heater distributor.
Make certain the floor underneath the water
heater is strong enough to sufficiently
support the weight of the water heater once
it is filled with water.
A gas fired water heater or any other
appliance should not be installed in a space
where liquids which give off flammable
vapors are to be used or stored. Such
liquids include gasoline, LP gas (butane
or propane), paint or adhesives and their
thinners, solvents or removers.
DO NOT block or obstruct any of the
combustion air inlet openings located
around the perimeter of the water heater.
A minimum of 1”(2.5 cm) is required
between these combustion air inlet
openings and any obstruction.
DO NOT obstruct or block the
Flammable Vapour Sensor.
Because of natural air movement in a room
or other enclosed space, flammable vapours
can be carried some distance from where
liquids which give off flammable vapours
are to be used or stored. The open flame of
the water heater’s pilot or main burner can
ignite these vapours.
FVIR certified gas water heaters must be
installed in accordance with the CAN/
CSA B149.1 - Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, for installation in
Residential Garages, unless otherwise
directed by Province and Local code
requirements. The water heater must be
located so it is not subject to physical
damage, for example, by moving vehicles,
area flooding, etc.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the
water heater in a location where it may
be subjected to ambient temperatures
exceeding 125°F (52°C).
●
The water heater should be installed
so as to minimize the length of plastic
vent pipe and the number of vent
connection fittings required. (Refer to
the “INSTALLATION” Section of this
manual.)
●
Long hot water lines should be insulated to
conserve water and energy.
●
The water heater and water lines should
be protected from exposure to freezing
temperatures.
●
DO NOT
install the water heater in
bathrooms, bedrooms, any occupied
rooms normally kept closed, or in
unprotected outdoor areas.
●
Minimum clearance from combustible
construction:
If the clearances stated on the
Instruction/Warning Label, located on the
front of the heater differ, install the water
heater according to the clearances stated
on the label.
●
If the water heater is installed in an
alcove or closet, the entire floor must
be covered by a wood or metal panel. A
minimum of 24” (61 cm) clearance from
the front and top should be available for
adequate inspection and servicing.
●
The water heater may be installed on
combustible floors, but not directly on
carpeting. If the water heater must be
installed on carpeting, place a metal or
wood panel beneath the water heater,
extending beyond its full width and depth
at least 3”(7.6 cm) in all directions.
Installing the water heater
This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility company
requirements, and/or in the absence of local codes, use the latest edition of CAN/CSA B149 - Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code. A copy can be purchased from the Canadian Standards Association, 5060
Spectrum Way, Mississauga, Ontario L4W 5N6.
The auxiliary catch pan
installation MUST conform to
local codes.
!
WARNING: Combustible
construction refers to
adjacent walls and ceilings
and should not be confused
with combustible or
flammable products and
materials. Combustible
and/or flammable products
and materials should never
be stored in the vicinity of
this or any gas appliance.
