WARNING

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

WARNING

Failure to have required clearances between water heater and combustible material will result in a fire hazard.

If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning establishments, or self-service laundries with dry clean- ing 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 Code, ANSI Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA 54 for specifics provided concerning air required.
