Drain Pan on Horizontal Models

and Vertical Square Models

1250 Gallons and Larger

The lower pan of the horizontal water heater jacket or vertical square water heater jacket is specially constructed to function as a drain pan. A water discharge opening is located in either end of the pan. The discharge opening(s) used must be piped to a suitable floor drain. If only one discharge opening in the jacket pan is piped to a floor drain, the unused opening must be plugged. This jacket pan provides an extra margin of protection against water damage on vertical square or horizontally constructed models.

6.The floor on which the appliance is installed must be capable of supporting the total weight of the water heater when

completely filled with water. Combustible floor locations may be used. Maintain required clearances from combustible surfaces.

7.The appliance must not be installed on carpet.

8.The appliance must be installed indoors where it is protected from exposure to wind, rain and weather.

9.Locate the appliance as close as possible to the point of major hot water usage, the water piping and branch electrical circuit wiring.

10.Insulate water piping to control heat loss and possible condensation.

11.The appliance must be located in an area that is not subject to freezing. The ambient temperature of the space where the appliance is installed must not go below 32° F (0° C) or above 104° F (40° C).

CAUTION:

This water heater, as well as all water heaters will eventually leak. Installation of the water heater should be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank, piping or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations can not be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the water heater. Drain pans may be fabricated or purchased from your plumbing wholesaler. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater.
