Prior to the Installation of the EverHot Direct Vent System
The EverHot TGHE series water heaters have two adjustable wall mounting support brackets fitted on the
top and bottom of the water heater casing. When installing a “Standard Vent Discharge Kit” to vent
directly out the wall to the back of the water heater, these brackets should be adjusted so that the water
heater is moved out the maximum 2” (5.1 cm) away from the wall. Before cutting the vent terminal to the
required length, ensure that the distance the water heater is away from the wall has been accounted for.
Horizontal Direct Vent Installations
Whenever possible, install the EverHot TGHE series water heater on or near an outside wall for the
shortest vent with the least number of elbows. The standard vent kit available for this water heater
consists of one 90 vent discharge adapter and a horizontal vent termination kit. This kit is for venting
directly through an outside wall.
Figure 9. Standard Vent Kit – Horizontal Direct Vent Installations
For installations on interior walls, venting components may be purchased from the venting suppliers listed
in this manual to extend the venting distance using extension tubes and elbows. Use the formula and
venting table shown previously in this manual to calculate the total equivalent distance of vent pipe. Do
not exceed the maximum of 41 equivalent feet (12.5 m). Refer to the parts list at the end of this manual,
as well as the Venting System Installation Instructions supplied with the venting for available venting
components and detailed instructions on fitting the components together.
