3 INST ALLING YOUR GAS W A TER HEA TER Important Information About This W ater Heater This gas water heater was manufactured to voluntary safety standards to reduce the likelihood of a flammable vapor ignition incident. New technology used in meeting these standards makes this product more sensitive to installation errors or improper installation e[...]

4 Location Requirements The Flame Lock™ Safety System is designed to reduce the risk of flammable vapor-related fires. The patented system protects your family by trapping the burning vapors within the water heater combustion chamber through the special flame-trap. The burning vapors literally “burn themselves out” without escaping back into [...]

5 IMPORT ANT : 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 lea[...]

6 Gas Supply Gas Requirements IMPORT ANT : Read the data plate to be sure the water heater is made for the type of gas you will be using in your home. This information will be found on the data plate located near the gas control valve/thermostat. If the information does not agree with the type of gas available, do not install or light. Call your de[...]

7 Combustion Air Supply and V entilation IMPORT ANT : Air for combustion and ventilation must not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any failure due to corrosive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from warranty coverage. The following types of installation (not limited to the following) will require outdoor air for combustion due to chemical exp[...]

8 Unconfined Space A water heater in an unconfined space uses indoor air for combustion and requires at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input for all gas appliances. The table below shows a few examples of the minimum square footage (area) required for various BTUH inputs. 30,000 45,000 60,000 75,000 90,000 105,000 120,000 135,[...]

10 V ent Pipe System This water heater uses a non-direct, single-pipe vent system to remove exhaust gases created by the burning of fossil fuels. Air for combustion is taken from the immediate water heater location or is ducted in from the outside (see “Combustion Air Supply and V entilation”). This water heater must be properly vented for the [...]

11 Chimney Connection IMPORT ANT : Before connecting a vent to a chimney , make sure the chimney passageway is clear and free of obstructions. The chimney must be cleaned if previously used for venting solid fuel appliances or fireplaces. Also consult local and state codes for proper chimney sizing and application or , in the absence of local and s[...]

12 W ater System Piping Piping Installation Piping, fittings, and valves should be installed according to the installation drawing (Figure 13). If the indoor installation area is subject to freezing temperatures, the water piping must be protected by insulation. W ater supply pressure should not exceed 80% of the working pressure of the water heate[...]

13 Please note the following: • The system should be installed only with piping that is suitable for potable (drinkable) water such as copper , CPVC, or polybutylene. This water heater must not be installed using iron piping or PVC water piping. • Use only pumps, valves, or fittings that are compatible with potable water . • Use only full flo[...]

14 T emperature and Pressure Relief V alve For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed in the opening marked “T & P RELIEF V AL VE” (see Figure 15A). This valve must be design certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection [...]

15 Special Applications Combination Space Heating/Potable W ater System Some water heater models are equipped with inlet/outlet tappings for use with space heating applications. If this water heater is to be used to supply both space heating and domestic potable (drinking) water , the instructions listed below must be followed. • Be sure to follo[...]

16 W ater Heater Location W ater heater location is important and can affect system performance. Please check the following: □ Installation area free of corrosive elements and flammable materials. □ Centrally located with the water piping system. Located as close to the gas piping and vent pipe system as possible. □ Located indoors and in a v[...]

17 OPERA TING YOUR W A TER HEA TER FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE LIGHTING TO TURN OFF GAS T O APPLIANCE A. This appliance has a pilot which is lighted by a piezoelectric igniter . When lighting the pilot, follow these instructions exactly . B. BEFORE LIGHTING smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some[...]

18 L.P .G. (Bottled Propane) Models Liquefi ed petroleum gas is over 50% heavier than air and in the occurrence of a leak in the system, the gas will settle at fl oor level. Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of gas. Befo[...]

19 Operational Conditions Condensation Moisture from the products of combustion condenses on the tank surface and the outside jacket of the water heater and forms drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces. This will produce a “sizzling” or “frying” noise. NOTE: This condensation is normal and should not be confused[...]

20 MAINTENANCE OF YOUR W A TER HEA TER Draining and Flushing It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may build up during operation. The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. T o drain the tank, perform the following steps: 1. T urn off the gas to the wa[...]
