VENTING

WATER LINE CONNECTIONS

WARNING

THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION ON VENTING MUST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOID CHOKED COMBUSTION OR RECIRCULATION OF FLUE GASES. SUCH CONDITIONS CAUSE SOOTING OR RISKS OF FIRE AND ASPHYXIATION.

Heater must be protected from freezing downdrafts.

Remove all soot or other obstructions from the chimney that will retard a free draft.

Type B venting is recommended with these heaters. See table 3

TECHNICAL DATA VENTING.

This water heater must be vented in compliance with all local codes, the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI- Z223.1) and with the Category I Venting Tables.

In Canada, venting shall conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CGA B149.1-00 installation code.

If any parts of the vent system are exposed to ambient temperatures below 35 degrees F (2 degrees C) they must be insulated to prevent condensation.

•Do not connect the heater to a common vent or chimney with solid fuel burning equipment. This practice is prohibited by many local building codes as is the practice of venting gas fired equipment to the duct work of ventilation systems.

•Where a separate vent connection is not available and the vent pipe from the heater must be connected to a common vent with an oil burning furnace, the vent pipe should enter the smaller common vent or chimney at a point above the large vent pipe.

MULTIPLE HEATER MANIFOLD

Figure 9 and table 3 should be used for horizontally manifolding two or more heaters. Also see MULTIPLE-UNIT INSTALLATIONS of MECHANICAL VENTING section for induced draft applications.

This manual provides detailed installation diagrams (see pages 16-22 of this manual) for typical methods of application for the water heaters.

The water heater may be installed by itself, or with a separate storage tank, on both single and two-temperature systems. When used with a separate storage tank, the circulation may be either by gravity or by means of a circulating pump. When a circulating pump is used it is important to note that the flow rate should be slow so that there will be a minimum of turbulence inside the heater.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water system, contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

WATER (POTABLE) HEATING AND

SPACE HEATING

1.All piping components connected to this unit for space heating applications shall be suitable for use with potable water.

2.Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall NEVER be introduced into this system.

3.This unit may NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.

4.When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required for domestic water purposes, a tempering valve must be installed. Please refer to installation diagrams on pages 16 through 22 in this manual for suggested piping arrangements.

CAUTION

A closed system will exist if a check valve (without bypass), pressure reducing valve (without bypass), or a water meter (without bypass) is installed in the cold water line between the water heater and street main (or well).

Excessive pressure may develop in such closed systems, causing premature tank failure or intermittent relief valve operation. This is not a warranty failure. An expansion tank or a similar device may be required in the inlet supply line between the appliance and the meter or valve to compensate for the thermal expansion of the water.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

The system installation must conform to these instructions and to the local code authority having jurisdiction. Good practice requires that all heavy piping be supported.

 

THERMOMETERS (Not Supplied)

 

Thermometers should be obtained and field installed as shown

 

in the installation diagrams.

 

Thermometers are installed in the system as a means of

 

detecting the temperature of the outlet water supply.

 

RELIEF VALVE

 

This water heater is equipped with a combination temperature-

 

pressure relief valve that complies with the standard for relief

 

valves and automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply

 

system, ANSI Z21.22, for Canada see CAN/CSA 149.1-00. FOR

 

SAFE OPERATION OF THE WATER HEATER, THE RELIEF

VALVE(S) MUST NOT BE REMOVED OR PLUGGED.
