porcelain-enameled vent cap assembly and the 6” (15.2 cm) vent wall assembly shown by Figure 94.

FIGURE94.

The water heater model designation on the rating plate will have a suffix “P” to indicate this alternate vent cap assembly.

The alternate installation instructions below will replace the itemized instructions in the manual as follows: Items 11 thru 15 on page 13 and items 14 thru 18 on page 16.

1.Making sure the arrow points “UP”, install the vent collar assembly through the wall, connecting it to the extension and/or elbow depending on which one was used.

FIGURE95.

2.Three wood screws are supplied to attach the collar to the exterior wall of the building. However, other types of screws may have to be substituted depending on the construction of the exterior wall.

NOTE: alternate screws used must not have a head larger than 3/8” (.95 cm).

The three screws must be placed at every other hole (120° apart) to secure the vent collar assembly to the outside wall.

FIGURE96.

16.Insert the 3” (7.6 cm) diameter flue extension pipe into the vent collar assembly (flared and notched end first). Lock the flue extension pipe to the flue elbow by rotating clockwise to lock studs to slots.

FIGURE97.

4.Connect the vent cap by sliding it over the 3” (7.6 cm) diameter extension pipe and O-ring.

NOTE: for ease of assembly of the vent cap to the 3” (7.6 cm) pipe a soap solution can be applied to the O-ring gasket.

FIGURE98.

5.The vent cap has six holes around the outer edge. The three larger ones are to fit over the three screws securing the vent collar assem- bly to the exterior wall. The three smaller ones will now be used to attach the vent cap assembly.

NOTE: screws are supplied. However, substitution may be necessary depending on the exterior wall material.

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 STAR® 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.
