WARNING

FLAMMABLE ITEMS, PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS OR ANY OTHER POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDOUS ARTICLES MUST NEVER BE PLACED ON OR ADJACENT TO THE HEATER. OPEN CONTAINERS OF FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE STORED OR USED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE HEATER.

Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure and the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain. However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by a leak detector or water shutoff device used in conjunction with a piped drain pan. These devices are available from some plumbing supply wholesalers and retailers, and detect and react to leakage in various ways:

•Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or turn off the incoming water to the water heater when leakage is detected.

•Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.

•Water supply shutoff devices that activate based on the water pressure differential between the cold water and hot water pipes connected to the water heater.

•Devices that will turn off the gas supply to a gas water heater while at the same time shutting off its water supply.

PROVIDE UNIT SUPPORT

Before locating the unit on the roof, make sure the strength of the roof and beams are adequate at that point to support the weight of

the unit full of water. (Full weight of approximately 1300 lbs. Add extra load and safety factors.) This is very important and the user's responsibility, see Figure 29. If you are uncertain as to the load bearing capability of the roof, consult a licensed structural engineering expert.

The unit should be placed on a solid level roof curb of adequate strength. A properly designed roof curb is provided through State Order Entry.

IMPORTANT: THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE EMPTY OF WATER DURING LIFTING. MAKE SUREALLFASTENERS ON THE BASE OF THE UNIT ARE IN PLACE DURING LIFTING.

The location of the unit on the roof should be such that exhaust gas is not located near any air intakes or ventilation ducts.

Provide a minimum of 36" on each side of the unit for servicing.

Plumbing connections for water are made from inside the building. Gas and electric connections are made from the rooftop. Remote control wiring passes through the leak-tight fitting in the base of the unit.

ROOF CURB

Assemble and install accessory roof curb in accordance with instructions shipped with curb.

IMPORTANT: THE GASKETING OF THE UNIT TO THE ROOF CURB IS CRITICAL FOR A WATER TIGHT SEAL. INSTALL GASKET SUPPLIED WITH THE ROOF CURB AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 30.

Curb should be level. Refer to Accessory Roof Curb Installation Instructions for additional information as required.
