1/2 psi (14” w.c.) for LP gas. High Altitude Ratings of gas appliances are based For installations above 5,999 feet, please on sea level operation and need not be contact your local distributor or place of changed for installations at elevations purchase for a high altitude model. up to 5,999 feet. 11 Installing the water heater. The water heater must be installed with the factory supplied draft hood in place. Customer Service Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Installation Instructions Safety Instructions ! DANGER: Failure to install the draft hood and properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting section of this manual will result in unsafe operation of the water heater causing bodily injury, explosion, fire or death. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, NEVER operate the water heater unless it is properly vented and has adequate air supply for proper operation as outlined in the Venting section of this manual. Venting Vent connectors must be attached to the draft hood outlet to connect the water heater to the gas vent or chimney. The vent connectors must be the same size (diameter) as the draft hood or larger, never smaller. For proper venting in certain installations a larger vent connector size may be needed. Consult the Vent Tables in Appendix G of the latest version of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI booklet Z223.1 or NFPA booklet 54.) Horizontal vent connectors must be pitched upward to the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of length. Single wall vent connectors must be at least 6. from adjacent unprotected combustible surface. Vent joints must be securely fastened by sheet metal screws or other approved method. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use a flame of a match or candle or smoke. The flame or smoke should be pulled into the draft hood’s relief opening(s). ! WARNING: If local codes require external application of insulation blanket kits the manufacturer’s instructions included with the kit must be carefully followed. Insulation Blankets Insulation blankets, available to the general public, for external use on gas water heaters are not necessary. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters. This water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements making an insulation blanket unnecessary. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect caused by installation, attachment or use of any type of energy saving or other unapproved devices (other than those authorized by the manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water heater. The use of unauthorized energy saving devices may shorten the life of the water heater and may endanger life and property. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices. ! CAUTION: If local codes require the application of an external insulation blanket to this water heater, pay careful attention to the following so as not to restrict the proper function and operation of the water heater: . Do not cover the operating or warning labels attached to the water heater or attempt to relocate them on the exterior of insulation blanket. . Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater. This will interfere with the safe operation of the draft hood. . Do not cover the burner access door, jacket door, gas control (thermostat)/gas valve or pressure and temperature relief valve. . Do not apply insulation to the bottom of the water heater or the area where the combustion air inlet openings are located. This area must be unobstructed so as not to restrict combustion air flow to the burner. . Inspect the insulation blanket frequently making certain it has not sagged and is restricting the air flow to the combustion air inlet openings (perforation holes) located around the lower perimeter of the water heater. This could result in an unsafe operating condition. 12 Safety Instructions Installation Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service 13 Typical vertical piping arrangement Typical horizontal piping arrangement Heat Traps For increased energy efficiency, some water heaters have been supplied with factory installed 3/4” NPT heat traps in the hot outlet line and cold water inlet line. These heat traps may require a minimum of one (1) 90° 3/4” NPT elbow and may require an additional 90° 3/4” NPT elbow or a 3/4” coupling depending on your installation needs. See illustration of nipples and heat traps on page 25. During Installation of this water heater… DO ¦ DO check inlet gas pressure to ensure that it is within the range specified on the rating plate. ¦ DO provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation as discussed in the Use an...
