Installation Checklist

Water Heater Location

Water 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 (For new installations). Located as close to the gas piping, vent pipe system and 120VAC outlet as possible.

□

□

Located indoors and in a vertical position. Protected from freezing temperatures.

Proper clearances from combustible surfaces maintained and not installed directly on a carpeted floor.

□

□

Provisions made to protect the area from water damage. Metal drain pan installed and piped to an adequate drain.

Sufficient room to service the water heater. See Clearances and Accessibility section of this manual.

□

□

Water heater not located near an air moving device.

Is the installed environment dirty (excessive amounts of lint, dirt, dust, etc.)? If so, the air intake chamber louvers located on the side of the water heater will need to be cleaned periodically. Refer to the maintenance section of your water heater’s manual for information on cleaning the “Air Intake Chamber Screen”.

Combustion Air Supply and Ventilation

Check for sufficient combustion air supply. Insufficient air for the combustion of gas will result in a inferior burner flame “yellow- lazy”, thereby allowing smoking and carbon formation (sooting) to build up in the combustion chamber.

Is the water heater installed in a closet or other small, enclosed space? If so:

□Are there openings for make-up air to enter and exit the room/area?

□Are the openings of sufficient size? Remember, if there are other gas-fired or air-consuming appliances in the same room, you need more make-up air. Refer to the Location Requirements section of this water heater manual for specific requirements.

Fresh air not taken from areas that contain negative pressure producing devices such as exhaust fans, dryers, fireplaces, etc.

□Is there a furnace/air handler in the same room space as the water heater? If so, has a return air duct system been attached that exits the room? If so, check for leaks on the air duct system. If no air duct system is present, correct immediately by contacting a local Heating, Ventilation, Air- Conditioning & Refrigeration (HVAC-R) authorized service provider.

□Fresh air supply free of corrosive elements and flammable vapors.

□Ductwork is the same cross-sectional area as the openings.
