Cutting The Opening Through The Outside Wall

After thoroughly reading the “Locating the New Water Heater” section of this manual and you have chosen a suitable water heater installation site, use Chart #1 to determine dimensions for the wall opening.

Cut a 6 1/4” (159 mm) diameter hole completely through the outside wall.

FIGURE14.

Water Heater Attitude

There is a certain amount of variance with regard to the direction the water heater faces.

Standing in front of the water heater (gas control facing you), set the 3” (76 mm) diameter elbow (slotted end) on the flue. This will give you a better understanding of the relation of the vent assembly to the opening in the wall and more importantly any possibility of interference of venting and water piping.

The direction of the water heater can now be made. Also consider the gas control valve to insure installation, lighting and maintenance accessibility are retained.

NOTE: Supplementary installation instructions are applicable only if this direct vent water heater is provided with the alternate brown porcelain-enameled vent cap and the 6” (152 mm) vent wall assembly show below, See pages 22 thru 24.

Standard Vent Kit - Installation #1

The opening through the wall should be cut at this time. If this has not been done, refer to “Cutting The Opening Through The Outside Wall ” section.

1.Lock the elbow to the straight 3” (76 mm) flue pipe. Set this assembly in place on the end of the water heater’s flue collar.

FIGURE15.

2.Mark the flue collar at the slots in the elbow. Using a #22 drill bit, drill holes into the flue collar at the two slots and secure the elbow to the flue collar using the screws provided.

NOTE: Make sure elbow is properly aligned to opening in the outside wall.
