Installing the water heater

This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility company

requirements, and/or in the absence of local codes, use the latest edition of the American National

Standard/National Fuel Gas Code. A copy can be purchased from either the American Gas Association,

400 N. Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 as ANSI standard Z223.1 or National Fire Protection

Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 as booklet NFPA 54.

Location

The water heater should not be

located in an area where leakage

from the tank or connections will

result in damage to the area adjacent

to the heater or to lower floors of the

structure.

When such areas cannot be avoided

it is recommended that a suitable

catch pan, adequately drained, must

be installed under the water heater.

The pan must not restrict air flow

to the combustion air inlet openings

(perforation openings) located around

the lower perimeter of the water

heater.

Catch pan kits are available from

the store where the water heater

was purchased, or any water heater

distributor.

Make certain the floor underneath

the water heater is strong enough to

sufficiently support the weight of the

water heater once it is filled with water.

A gas fired water heater or any other

appliance should not be installed in

a space where liquids which give off

flammable vapors are to be used or

stored. Such liquids include gasoline,

LP gas (butane or propane), paint or

adhesives and their thinners, solvents

or removers.

When installed in a closet, DO

NOT block or obstruct any of the

combustion air inlet openings located

around the perimeter of the water

heater. A minimum of 1” is required

between these combustion air inlet

openings and any obstruction.

Because of natural air movement

in a room or other enclosed space,

flammable vapors can be carried some

distance from where liquids which give

off flammable vapors are to be used

or stored. The open flame of the water

heater’s pilot or main burner can ignite

these vapors and create a shut down

condition of the water heater which

will not allow the water heater to ignite

until examined by a Qualified Service

Technician.

FVIR certified gas water heaters can be

installed on a residential garage floor

without the use of an 18-inch stand in

accordance with the National Fuel Gas

Code, NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1, unless

otherwise directed by State and Local

code requirements. The water heater

must be located so it is not subject

to physical damage, for example, by

moving vehicles, area flooding, etc.

● The water heater should be installed

as close as practical to the gas vent

or chimney.

● Long hot water lines should be

insulated to conserve water and

energy.

● The water heater and water lines

should be protected from exposure

to freezing temperatures.

● DO NOT install the water heater in

bathrooms, bedrooms, any occupied

rooms normally kept closed, or in

unprotected outdoor areas.

● Minimum clearance from

Combustible construction:

If the clearances stated on the

Instruction/Warning Label, located on

the front of the heater differ, install

the water heater according to the

clearances stated on the label.

● If the water heater is installed in

an alcove or closet, the entire floor

must be covered by a wood or metal

panel.A minimum of 24” clearance

from the front and top should be

available for adequate inspection and

servicing.

● The water heater may be installed on

combustible floors, but not directly

on carpeting. If the water heater

must be installed on carpeting, place

a metal or wood panel beneath the

water heater, extending beyond its

full width and depth at least 3” in all

directions.

WARNING: Combustible

construction refers to

adjacent walls and ceilings

and should not be confused

with combustible or

flammable products and

materials. Combustible

and/or flammable products

and materials should never

be stored in the vicinity of

this or any gas appliance.
