SEDIMENT TRAPS

 

VENTING

A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the gas inlet of the water heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet or other device recognized as an effective sediment trap.

Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper operation of the gas control valve that may result in fire or explosion. Before attaching the gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside. To trap any dirt or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping. The drip leg must be readily accessible. Install in accordance with the “Gas Piping” section. Refer to the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54) or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CSA B149.1).

Filling the Water Heater

Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the water heater.

To fill the water heater with water:

1.Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water heater.

2.Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.

NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when the water heater is in use.

3.To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the water heater and the piping.

4.Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as needed.

VENT PIPE TERMINATION

The first step is to determine where the vent pipe will terminate. See Figures 19, 20, and 21. The vent may terminate through a sidewall as shown in Figure 19 or through the roof as shown in Figures 20 and 21.

The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited in local codes or the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1, 12.9.1 through 12.9.4) or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CSA-B149.1).

Instructions on proper installation through a sidewall are provided in Figures 15A, 15B, 15C, and 15D.

Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearances are maintained from plumbing and wiring.

Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as “vent connectors”. Required clearances from combustible materials must be provided in accordance with information in this manual under Facts to Consider About Location and INSTALLING THE WATER HEATER, and with the National Fuel Gas Code and local codes.

Power Vent/Power Direct Vent Gas Models specifications

State Industries offers a range of power vent and power direct vent gas models that cater to various residential and commercial heating needs. These models are designed for efficiency, safety, and convenience, making them a popular choice among consumers seeking reliable water heating solutions.

One of the standout features of State Industries' power vent models is their ability to vent directly through walls or roofs, enabling installation in locations where traditional venting methods may pose challenges. This flexibility makes them ideal for homes without suitable chimney access. The power vent system employs a fan to push exhaust gases out, ensuring efficient operation even in cases where vertical venting is not feasible.

The power direct vent models take this a step further by utilizing sealed combustion technology. This means they draw air for combustion from outside the home, which significantly reduces the risk of backdrafts and improves indoor air quality. The dual-venting system of these models also enhances their efficiency, as it allows for better control of air flow and exhaust.

State Industries incorporates advanced technologies in their gas models, including electronic ignition systems that eliminate the need for a standing pilot light. This feature not only enhances energy efficiency but also adds convenience for users. Moreover, these models come equipped with LED indicators that provide real-time status updates, enabling users to monitor their units easily.

Durability and reliability are hallmarks of State Industries products. The tanks are constructed with high-quality materials and feature protective coatings that inhibit corrosion, ensuring a long lifespan. In addition to this, many models are backed by extended warranties, providing peace of mind for consumers.

Energy efficiency is a critical characteristic of these gas models, with many units meeting or exceeding energy efficiency standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This results in lower utility bills and a reduced environmental impact. With adjustable temperature settings, users can optimize their water heating experience while conserving energy.

In conclusion, State Industries' power vent and power direct vent gas models stand out for their flexibility in installation, advanced technologies, and energy-efficient operation. Whether for residential or commercial use, these models offer high performance and reliability, ensuring that users enjoy a consistent and efficient hot water supply.
