ALL INSTALLATIONS

For ease of assembly the installation of the various kit combinations has been broken into individual sections. The two steps below are common to all installations. Once these have been performed, you need only to refer to the type installation that pertains to you.

Installation Using Vent Kits:

Cutting The Opening Through The Outside Wall

After thoroughly reading the “Locating the New Water Heater” section of this manual and you have chosen a suitable water heater installation site, use Chart #1 to determine dimensions for the wall opening.

Cut a 6 1/4” (159 mm) diameter hole completely through the outside wall.

FIGURE14.

Water Heater Attitude

There is a certain amount of variance with regard to the direction the water heater faces.

Standing in front of the water heater (gas control facing you), set the 3” (76 mm) diameter elbow (slotted end) on the flue. This will give you a better understanding of the relation of the vent assembly to the opening in the wall and more importantly any possibility of interference of venting and water piping.

The direction of the water heater can now be made. Also consider the gas control valve to insure installation, lighting and maintenance accessibility are retained.

NOTE: Supplementary installation instructions are applicable only if this direct vent water heater is provided with the alternate brown porcelain-enameled vent cap and the 6” (152 mm) vent wall assembly show below, See pages 22 thru 24.

Standard Vent Kit - Installation #1

The opening through the wall should be cut at this time. If this has not been done, refer to “Cutting The Opening Through The Outside Wall ” section.

1.Lock the elbow to the straight 3” (76 mm) flue pipe. Set this assembly in place on the end of the water heater’s flue collar.

FIGURE15.

2.Mark the flue collar at the slots in the elbow. Using a #22 drill bit, drill holes into the flue collar at the two slots and secure the elbow to the flue collar using the screws provided.

NOTE: Make sure elbow is properly aligned to opening in the outside wall.

Green Choice specifications

State Industries Green Choice is a remarkable initiative designed to promote energy efficiency and environmentally-friendly practices in the manufacturing sector. The program focuses on providing high-efficiency appliances and heating systems that are not only cost-effective but also reduce environmental impact. With a growing concern about climate change, State Industries aims to address these issues through innovations in technology and sustainable practices.

One of the main features of the Green Choice initiative is its commitment to producing ENERGY STARĀ® certified products. These appliances meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, helping consumers save money on energy bills while also decreasing their carbon footprint. By prioritizing energy efficiency, State Industries ensures that their products move the industry toward a more sustainable future.

Incorporating advanced technologies is central to the Green Choice initiative. The use of state-of-the-art insulation materials minimizes heat loss, while high-efficiency burners and heat exchangers maximize energy utilization in heating systems. These technological innovations lead to significant reductions in energy consumption, translating to both financial savings for consumers and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Another characteristic of Green Choice is the emphasis on using sustainable materials in manufacturing. State Industries strives to source materials that are either recyclable or derived from renewable resources. This commitment not only supports the economy but also minimizes waste and environmental degradation associated with traditional manufacturing processes.

Furthermore, State Industries prioritizes lifecycle analysis in the development of its products. This approach evaluates the environmental impact of a product from its conception through production, usage, and eventual disposal. By understanding the full lifecycle, State Industries can make informed decisions that enhance the sustainability of its offerings.

Consumer education is also a vital component of the Green Choice program. State Industries actively engages with customers to raise awareness about energy-efficient practices and the benefits of choosing sustainable products. By empowering consumers with knowledge, the initiative encourages responsible energy use and promotes a culture of sustainability.

In conclusion, State Industries Green Choice represents a holistic approach to manufacturing, focusing on energy efficiency, technological innovation, sustainable materials, and consumer engagement. This initiative not only helps to combat environmental issues but also fosters a market for eco-friendly products, paving the way for a more sustainable future. State Industries is setting a positive example in the industry by prioritizing ecological responsibility while delivering high-quality, efficient solutions to consumers.
