This appliance is power vented and uses room air. Note: Electrical power is required to operate the power exhaust. Proper air supply to the appliance is essential. If installed near a clothes dryer it is very important that the dryer be properly vented. Failure to properly vent a dryer could result in a gradual accumulation of lint on the water heater fin coils and burners, leading to a dangerous condition of vent blockage and poor, unsafe combustion. 3. Your hot water lines should be kept short to save energy. It is always best to have hot water lines insulated. WARNING:DONOTINSTALLIN ANAREAWHERE IT COULD FREEZE. This heater is neither designed for nor approved for outside installation. Drain the heater entirely if freezing temperatures are anticipated in area where heater is installed by disconnecting both the inlet and outlet water connections from the heater (disconnect the outlet flex line from where it connects to the copper heat exchanger). Additionally, remove the drain plug under the water valve. See Fig 1. Fig. 1 - Water heater drain plug WARNING: Flammable materials, gasoline, pressurized containers, or any other items or articles that are potentially fire hazards must NOT be placed on or adjacent to the heater. The appliance area must be kept free of all combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. 6 720 607 017 COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS The 425 EF water heater holds cold water in its copper heat exchanger and brass water valve when not in use. Because of this, any cold air that comes in through the unit’s vent pipe is capable of freezing these components. This Installation Manual specifies the vent length requirements and the amount of combustion air required for this unit. When all requirements are followed, the unit will operate properly and safely. However, there may still be a risk of freezing due to negative draft if all the combustion appliances in the area are not being supplied with a sufficient amount of make-up air. A wood stove or furnace may pull combustible air through the 425 EF vent pipe, leaving the cold infiltrating air capable of freezing the cold water in the 425 EF heat exchanger. To prevent this the FXHOOD horizontal vent terminator, which is supplied separately with the water heater, needs to be installed on the end of the horizontal vent run (see page 9). The FXHOOD is a CSA approved vent terminator for the 425 EF and has a built in back draft flapper. Observe the following instructions concerning combustion air. Appliances located in unconfined spaces: a) An unconfined space is one whose volume is greater than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour of the combined rating of all appliances installed in the space. That would be 6500 cubic feet for the 425 EF alone. b) In unconfined spaces in buildings of conventional frame, masonry, or metal construction, infiltration is normally adequate to provide air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gasses. Air Vents 425 EF (10 . X 10 . in. each) Appliances located in confined spaces: The confined space must be provided with two permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches of the top and one commencing within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum free area of one square inch per: — 1000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from inside the building. — 2000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by horizontal ducts. — 4000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by direct openings or vertical ducts. Or the confined space must be provided with one permanent opening or duct that is within 12 inches of the ceiling of the enclosure. This opening must have a minimum free area of one square inch per: — 3000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by a direct opening or vertical duct. Louvers, grills and screens have a blocking effect. If the effective free area is not known, assume it is 20 % to 25% of the total opening for wood louvers and 60 % to 75% for metal louvers. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code for complete information. In buildings of tight construction all air should be taken from outside. This product is not approved for manufactured homes (mobile home), recreational vehicles (RV) or boats. Reference ANSI Z21.10.3. This product is neither designed or approved for outside installations. CLEARANCES The 425 EF is design certified for installation on a combustible wall and for installation in an alcove or closet with the minimum clearances to combustible and non combustible construction listed below A. Top 12 inches (305 mm) B. Front 4 inches (102 mm) C. Back 0 inches* D. Sides 4 inch (102mm) E. Bottom 12 inches (305 mm) * On a combustible wall surface the unit should be mounted away from the wall to provide adequate clearance of the vent pipe. Clearance from the vent pipe is dependent upon the clearance rating of the venting material used. See VENTING section. 425 EF Air Vents (5 .
