Installation Instructions (cont'd)

AWARNING

A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the cor- rect amount of air for combustion. Do not install in a con-

fined area such a closet, unless you provide air as shown in the "Locating The New Water Heater" section. Never obstruct the flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at all, call your gas company. Failure to provide the

proper amount of combustion air can result in a fire or explo- sion and can cause DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE.

_,WARNING

If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self-service laundries with dry cleaning equipment, it is imperative that the water heater or water heaters be installed so that combustion and ventilation

air be taken from outside these areas. Refer to the "Locating The New Water Heater" section of this manual and also the

latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Cede, ANSI Z223.1, also

referred to as NFPA 54 for specifics provided concerning air required.

Combustion Air and Ventilation

When determining the installation location for apower vent

water heater, snow accumulation and drifting shouldbe consid- ered in areas where applicable.

VENTING CLEARANCES

0" clearance for 3" PVC, ABS or CPVC Schedule 40 vent piping from combustible surfaces.

12" m'n'mum from the ground, 9" ceiling overhangs. Figure 2.

The Power Vent outlet terminal shall terminate at least 36" above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet. Figure 3a.

The Power Vent outlet terminal shall terminate at least 9" below, 9"

horizontally from or 9" above any door, window or gravity air inlet into the building. Figure 3a.

18" minimum in all directions from any obstruction that may interfere. Figure 3b.

18" minimum from other gravity or natural appliance outlet vents when directly above or 135 ° to either side of center line. Figure 3c.

36" minimum from any outlet vents when directly below or 45 ° to either side of center line. Figure 3c.

36" minimum in all directions from any other forced air appliance outlet vent. Figure 3c.

The location selection must provide clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater. Figure 4.

Vent termination must not be within 4 feet of any items such as gas meters, gas valves or other gas regulating equipment.

The venting system must be installed in a manner which allows inspection of the installation of the venting pipes and joints as well

as periodic inspection after installation as required by ANSI Standards.

_,WARNING

Vent terminationmustnot be within4 feet of any items suchas gasmeters,gasvalvesor other gasregulating equipment.
