Location Requirements

IMPORTANT:

This water heater must be installed strictly in accordance with the instructions enclosed, and local electrical, fuel and building codes. It is possible that connections to the water heater, or the water heater itself, may develop leaks. IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE that the water heater be installed so that any leakage of the tank or relat- ed water piping is directed to an adequate drain in such a manner that it cannot damage the building, furniture, floor covering, adjacent areas, lower floors of the structure or other property subject to water damage. This is particular- ly important if the water heater is installed in a multi-story building, on finished flooring or carpeted surfaces. GSW WILL NOT ASSUME ANY LIABILITY for damage caused by water leaking from the water heater, pressure relief valve, or related fittings. Select a location as centralized within the piping system as possible. In any location selected, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under the water heater. This pan must limit the

How and where to obtain combustion and ventilation air supply; See “Air Requirements”.

Routing and support of the vent piping.

Position of water supply and placement of water piping for hot and cold water; See “Water Supply”.

Floor drain and service.

In Earthquake Zones

Note: The water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during an earthquake. Contact local utilities for code requirements in your area.

Note: REVIEW SAFETY WARNINGS FOUND IN THE FRONT OF THIS MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING

Clearances and Accessibility

Specific clearance locations are shown in Figure 3. A mini- mum of 600mm (24 in.) of front clearance shall be provided for inspection and service. We recommend that 0.9m (36 in.) above be maintained for serviceability.

Locate the water heater such that all controls are easily accessible.

Clearance to combustibles varies by model. Refer to rating plate to confirm clearances.

Heaters with a volume of 19 gallons through 50 gallons and 60 gallon (standard input) must have the following minimum clearances to combustibles:

Front

102mm (4 in.)

Sides and Rear

25mm (1 in.)

Top

203mm (8 in.)

Flue

152mm (6 in.)

JW6058 and G6058 (high input) series heaters must have the following minimum clearances to combustibles:

Front

127mm (5 in.)

Sides and Rear

25mm (1 in.)

Top

203mm (8 in.)

Flue

152mm (6 in.)

water level to a MAXIMUM depth of 45mm (1 3/4 in.) and have a diameter that is a minimum of 50mm (2 in.) greater than the diameter of the water heater. Suitable piping shall connect the drain pan to a properly operating floor drain. When used with a fuel-fired heater, this drain pan must not restrict combustion air flow.

Note: Before installing this water heater, consideration and planning must be given to the following details:
