Installing the water heater

The water heater must be installed with the factory supplied draft hood in place.

Venting

Vent connectors must be attached

to the draft hood outlet to connect

the water heater to the gas vent or

chimney. The vent connectors must be

the same size (diameter) as the draft

hood or larger, never smaller.

For proper venting in certain

installations a larger vent connector

size may be needed. Consult the Vent

Tables in Appendix G of the latest

version of the National Fuel Gas Code

(ANSI standard Z223.1 or NFPA 54.)

Horizontal vent connectors must be

pitched upward to the chimney at least

1/4” per foot of length. Single wall

vent connectors must be at least 6”

from adjacent unprotected combustible

surface. Vent joints must be securely

fastened by sheet metal screws or

other approved method.

Test for spillage at the draft hood

relief opening after 5 minutes of main

burner operation. Use a flame of a

match or candle or smoke. The flame

or smoke should be pulled into the

draft hood’s relief opening(s).

DANGER: Failure to

install the draft hood and

properly vent the water

heater to the outdoors as

outlined in the Venting

section of this manual will

result in unsafe operation of

the water heater causing

bodily injury, explosion,

fire or death. To avoid the

risk of fire, explosion, or

asphyxiation from carbon

monoxide, NEVER operate

the water heater unless it is

properly vented and has

adequate air supply for

proper operation as

outlined in the Venting

section of this manual.

Insulation Blankets

Insulation blankets, available to the

general public, for external use on

gas water heaters are not necessary.

The purpose of an insulation blanket

is to reduce the standby heat loss

encountered with storage tank heaters.

This water heater meets or exceeds

the National Appliance Energy

Conservation Act standards with

respect to insulation and standby loss

requirements making an insulation

blanket unnecessary.

The manufacturer’s warranty does not

cover any damage or defect caused

by installation, attachment or use of

any type of energy saving or other

unapproved devices (other than those

authorized by the manufacturer) into,

onto or in conjunction with the water

heater. The use of unauthorized energy

saving devices may shorten the life of

the water heater and may endanger life

and property.

The manufacturer disclaims any

responsibility for such loss or injury

resulting from the use of such

unauthorized devices.

CAUTION: If local codes require

the application of an external

insulation blanket to this water

heater, pay careful attention to the

following so as not to restrict the

proper function and operation of the

water heater:

● DO NOT cover the operating or

warning labels attached to the water

heater or attempt to relocate them

on the exterior of insulation blanket.

 DO NOT apply insulation to the

top of the water heater. This will

interfere with the safe operation of

the draft hood.

 DO NOT cover the burner access

door, jacket door, gas control

(thermostat)/gas valve or pressure

and temperature relief valve.

 DO NOT apply insulation to the

bottom of the water heater or the

area where the combustion air inlet

openings are located. This area must

be unobstructed so as not to restrict

combustion air flow to the burner.

 Inspect the insulation blanket

frequently making certain it has not

sagged and is restricting the air flow

to the combustion air inlet openings

(perforation holes) located around

the lower perimeter of the water

heater jacket. This could result in an

unsafe operating condition.

WARNING: If local codes

require external application

of insulation blanket kits

the manufacturer’s

instructions included with

the kit must be carefully

followed.
