Figure 3 B - Moving Water Heater To Its Final Installed Location.

Move the water heater to its final installed location. Make certain clearances from combustible material are observed. The maximum distance from center of water heater to outside wall should not be longer than 90”.

For a second or more direct vent unit, the distance between vent terminals must have a minimum of 1 foot.

INSPECT SHIPMENT –– There may be hidden damage caused by transit. Check to be certain all parts of the venting system, as shown in Figures 3A through 3M, are present. Inspect the upper and lower air inlet boxes, rear air tube and all parts of the venting system.

CAUTION

If there are any damaged parts, DO NOT install this water heater. Report any shortage to your distributor or damage to your carrier.

Note: The four fasteners that are required to secure the vent terminal to the exterior wall are not provided. These should be screw type (not nails) chosen for the type of construction and obtained locally.

CAUTION

Cut edges of corrugated (flex) pipe are extremely sharp. Wear gloves when handling.
