FOREWORD

These designs comply with the latest version of the American National Standard for Gas Water Heaters, Volume III, ANSI Z21.10.3 as an automatic circulating tank water heater, and automatic storage water heaters.

Detailed installation diagrams are found in this manual. These diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials and methods of piping necessary. It is highly essential that all water, gas piping and wiring be installed as shown on the diagrams.

Particular attention should be given to the installation of thermometers at the locations indicated on the diagrams as these are necessary for checking the proper functioning of the heater.

In addition to these instructions, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.

In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the latest editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and the National Electric Code, NFPA 70. The former is available from the Canadian Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131, and both documents are available from the National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
