Installation of Venting System Components
WARNING
When installing the EverHot® TGHE model series direct vent water heaters, use only EverHot vent/air intake system kits and components approved for use with the water heater. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency, or the gas supplier. Installation must meet all state and local codes regarding installation and location of vent systems for direct vent appliances. In the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition) and/or CSA B149.1 (latest edition), Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code must be followed. The maximum vent length, as stated in the in this manual, should never be exceeded. Follow the instructions below and all instructions located in this manual when installing a vent pipe system. Improper installation of vent piping, or failure to follow all installation instructions completely, can result in property damage, and/or death.
WARNING
Refer to the Bradford White EverHot TGHE series water heater Installation and Operation Instruction Manual for details concerning vent system termination positions/clearances, allowable vent pipe lengths, and in what position dip switch number 1 should be placed. If you do not understand how to configure your vent pipe system and/or which position dip switch number 1 should be placed in, please contact your Bradford White supplier for assistance.
WARNING
Make sure all the pipe connections are firmly pressed together so that the gaskets form a tight seal.
NOTICE
When mounting the water heater on an outside wall, be sure the vent/air intake pipe will exit between the wall studs. DO NOT cut through the wall studs for the vent/air intake pipe opening.
WARNING
Before installation inspect each vent component for damage and correct seal placement. Do not attempt to fix or install any damaged vent components.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or venting system.
Vertical venting must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and horizontal venting must be supported every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent pipe length.
