This water heater is a Powered Direct Vent Gas Water Heater where all air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and all flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere. The venting system consists of separate combustion air intake and flue exhaust pipes. Venting may be run horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof through 3” (7.6 cm) or 4” (10.2 cm) diameter pipe for models with input ratings under 200,000 Btu/hr. Models with input ratings over 200,000 Btu/hr. (check the model nameplate) must use 4” (10.2 cm) diameter pipe only. The water heater is supplied with a screened intake and exhaust 90° elbow referred to as the exhaust vent or combustion air intake terminal (see figure 5). Consult the venting table in this section for the maximum venting distances with 3” (7.6 cm) and 4” (10.2 cm) pipe.
Note: The combustion air intake must be piped to the outdoors as outlined in the following instructions in order for this appliance to be a direct vent water heater.
