Bradford-White Corp EFR160T120, ULTRA HIGH EFFICIENCY GAS WATER HEATER Vertical Installation

CONCENTRIC VENT TERMINAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

WARNING

Improper installation, adjustment, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, or death. Consult a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier for information or assistance.

This kit must be used only for terminating this water heater. Do not use this termination kit for any other appliance. Using this kit on other appliances and/or water heaters can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

DO NOT operate this water heater until the installation and assembly of this kit is complete and the piping completed. Failure to complete installation before operation can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Before beginning any installation, be sure the main electrical disconnect switch is in the OFF position. Electrical shock can cause personal injury or death.

DO NOT operate this water heater with the rain cap removed or recirculation of combustion products may occur. Water may also collect inside larger combustion-air pipe and flow to the burner assembly. Failure to follow this warning could result in product damage, or improper operation, personal injury or death.

CAUTION

DO NOT use field-supplied couplings to extend pipes. Airflow restriction will occur and the water heater pressure switches may cause intermittent problems.

Vertical Installation:

1.Become familiar with concentric vent kit part no. 239-44069-02. Refer to the previous section on determining the maximum venting distance and pipe diameter required for the installation. For venting with 3 inch (7.6 cm) and 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter pipe, use a bell reducer to reduce to the 2 inch (5.1 cm) diameter vent size to connect to the 2 inch (5.1 cm) vent terminal connections.

2.Determine the best location for the termination kit.

3.Cut the recommended 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter hole.

4.Partially assemble vent kit by performing the following:

a.Cement concentric Y fitting to larger diameter pipe. (See Figure 20).

b.Cement rain cap to smaller diameter pipe. (See Figure 21).
