GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

To meet commercial water use needs, the temperature on

this water heater is adjustable up to 185°F (85°C). However,

water temperatures over 125°F (52° C) can cause severe

burns instantly or death from scalds. This is the preferred

starting point for setting the control for supplying general

purpose hot water.

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered

when setting the water temperature. The most energy

efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is

the lowest value that satisfies the needs consistent with the

application.

Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner

has shut off. To find the temperature of the hot water

being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet, and place

a thermometer in the hot water stream, and read the

thermometer.

The following chart details the relationship of water

temperature and time to scald injury and may be used as

a guide in determining the safest water temperature for

your applications.

The temperature of the water in the heater can be regulated

by setting the temperature on the display (see "User

Interface" section). To comply with safety regulations the

water heater temperature was adjusted to lowest setting

before the water heater was shipped from the factory. The

illustration information on "User Interface" section shows the

display and how to adjust the water temperature.

DANGER:

Hotter water increases the potential for hot water SCALDS.

NOTICE:

Mixing valves are recommended for reducing point of

use water temperature by mixing hot and cold water in

branch water lines. It is recommended that a mixing valve

complying with the Standard for Temperature Actuated

Mixing Valves for Hot Water Distribution Systems, ASSE

1017 be installed. See Water Connections for more details.

For additional information, contact a licensed plumber or

the local plumbing authority.

Natural Gas and Lique-

ﬁed Petroleum Safety

!

DANGER:

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS — Propane (LP) gas, must be

used with great caution.

• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas

making it hard to detect at nose level.

• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before

attempting ignition of the water heater. Use a soapy

solution to check all gas fittings and connections.

Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be

corrected.

• When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff near

the floor too.

• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications

and their installation should be in accordance with the

manufacturer's recommendations and local laws, rules,

regulations, or customs.

• It is recommended that more than one method be used

to detect leaks in LP applications.

IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:

• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself;

• DO NOT try to light any appliance;

• DO NOT touch any electrical switch;

• DO NOT use any phone in your building.

• Leave the building immediately and make sure your

family and pets leave also.

• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the

gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire

department.

• Stay away from the house (or building) until the service

call has been made, the leak is corrected and a qualified

agency has determined the area to be safe.

!

WARNING:

Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help

detection. Some people may not physically be able to smell or

recognize this odorant. If unsure or unfamiliar about the smell

associated with LP or natural gas, ask the gas supplier. Other

conditions, such as "Odorant Fade", which causes the odorant

to "fade" or diminish in intensity can also hide or camouflage

a gas leak.

5

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

!

DANGER:

Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are

different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will

not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. No attempt

should ever be made to convert a heater from natural gas to

LP gas. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury

or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel type not in

accordance with the unit's data plate. Propane for propane

units; natural gas for natural gas units. These units are not

certified for any other type fuel.

!

WARNING:

LP appliances should not be installed below-grade (for

example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibited by

federal, state, or local laws, rules, regulations or

customs.

Electrical Safety

DANGER:

• Shock Hazard – Make sure the electrical power to the

water heater is off to avoid electric shock that will result

in death or serious personal injury.

WARNINGS:

• For your safety, the information in this manual must

be followed to minimize the risk of fire, explosion, or

electric shock that can result in death, personal injury,

and/or property damage.

• Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must

comply with local codes or, in the absence of local

codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, Canadian Electrical

Code, CAN/CSA C22.1, Part 1.

CAUTIONS:

• Label all wires prior to disconnecting for service. Wiring

errors can cause dangerous and improper operation.

Verify correct operation after servicing.\

• For your safety, burner inspection and cleaning should

be performed only by qualified service personnel.

• Make certain the power to the water heater is OFF

before removing the unit cover panel. Exposed electrical

components and moving parts can cause personal

injuries.

• For your safety, DO NOT attempt repair of electrical

wiring, gas piping, remote control, burners, vent

connectors, or other safety devices. Refer repairs to

qualified service personnel.

INSTALLATION

Location

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 for US and CAN/CSA

B149 - Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code for Canada. A copy can be purchased from the American Gas Association, 400N.

Capitol Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 as ANSI standard C223.1 or National Fire Protection Association, 1 Batterymarch Park,

Quincy, MA 02269 as booklet NFPA 54. for US and Canadian Standards Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Mississauga, Ontario

L4W5N6 for Canada.

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 drain pan, adequately drained, must be installed under

the water heater.

The auxiliary drain pan installation MUST conform with local

codes.

The water heater must be positioned in the drain pan as shown.

Ensure that the condensate-tee is located inside the drain pan.

The recommended minimum drain pan sizes are 28" diameter for

50Gal and 32" diameter for 75Gal water heaters

Drain 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.

This 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, thinners, solvents

and/or combustible removers.

WARNING:

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

main burner can ignite these vapors creating a shut down

condition which will not allow the water heater to ignite.

Rheem Water Heating FVIR certified gas water heaters can

be installed on a residential garage floor without the use of

an 18 in. (46 cm.) stand in accordance with the National Fuel

Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, 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.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT install the water heater in a location where

it may be subjected to ambient temperatures exceeding 125°F

(52°C).

• The water heater should be installed so as to minimize the

length of plastic vent and combustion air-inlet pipe and the

number of vent and combustion air-inlet connection fittings

required.

• See Vent and Combustion Air-Inlet Section for vent system

requirements.

• Hot water lines should be insulated to conserve water and

energy.

• Protect the water heater and water lines from exposure to

freezing temperatures.

• DO NOT install this water heater outdoors.

• Minimum clearances from combustible construction:

"Front" Clearance dimension is measured from the water heater

jacket to the closet door.

"Top" clearance dimension is measured from the jacket top of

the water heater to the ceiling.

NOTICE:

For proper operation and maintenance, a minimum

clearance of 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) must be provided from

the combination temperature and pressure relief valve to

any wall or object.

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.

DRAIN PAN

INSTALLATION

If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting,

the water heater shall be installed on a metal or wood

panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the

water heater by at least 3 in. (7.6 cm) in all directions or, if

the water heater is to be installed in an alcove or closet, the

entire floor must be covered by a wood or metal panel.

CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES

The air in beauty shops, dry cleaning establishments,

photo processing labs, and storage areas for liquid and

powdered bleaches or swimming pool chemicals often

contain halogenated hydrocarbons.

An air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons may

be safe to breathe, but when it passes through a gas

flame corrosive elements are released that will shorten

the life of any gas burning appliance.

Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from

A/C and refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive after

passing through a flame.

The water heater warranty is voided when failure of the

heater is due to operation in a corrosive atmosphere.

THERMAL EXPANSION

Determine if a check valve exists in the inlet water line.

It may have been installed in the cold water line as a

separate back flow preventer, or it may be part of a

pressure reducing valve, water meter or water softener.

A check valve located in the cold water inlet line can

cause what is referred to as a ”closed water system”.

A cold water inlet line with no check valve or back flow

prevention device is referred to as an ”open” water

system.

As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an

increase in the pressure within the water system. This

action is referred to as ”thermal expansion”. In an ”open”

water system, expanding water, which exceeds the

capacity of the water heater, flows back into the city main

where the pressure is easily dissipated.

A ”closed water system”, however, prevents the

expanding water from flowing back into the main supply

line and the result of ”thermal expansion” can create

a rapid, and dangerous pressure increase in the water

heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase

can quickly reach the safety setting of the relief valve,

causing it to operate during each heating cycle. Thermal

expansion, and the resulting rapid, repeated expansion

and contraction of components in the water heater and

piping system can cause premature failure of the relief

valve and possibly the heater itself. Replacing the relief

valve will not correct the problem!

The suggested method of controlling thermal expansion is

to install an expansion tank in the cold water line between

the water heater and the check valve. The expansion tank

is designed with an air cushion built in that compresses

as the system pressure increases, thereby relieving the

over pressure condition and eliminating the repeated

operation of the relief valve. Other methods of controlling

thermal expansion are also available. Contact your installing

contractor, water supplier, or plumbing inspector for

additional information regarding this subject.

WATER CONNECTIONS

Refer to illustration on page 12 for suggested typical

installation. The installation of unions or flexible connectors

is recommended on the hot and cold water connections

so that the water heater may be easily disconnected for

servicing if necessary. If flexible water connections are

used, they must comply with the standard for flexible Water

Connectors, ASME A112.18.6/CSA-B125.6. The HOT and

COLD water connections are clearly marked on the water

heater. Install a shutoff valve in the cold water line near the

water heater.

IMPORTANT

All models are equipped with front and side panels, it is

recommended that the hot and cold water piping have a

minimum vertical height of 10 inches (25.4 cm) from the

top of the water heater before transitioning into any elbow.

This vertical height is needed in order to provide adequate

clearance for Side Panel installation and removal.

To gain access to the hot and cold water connections

the side panels need to be removed. The side panels are

secured on the top of the water heater with fastening

pegs (see illustration). Pull the side panels either

outwards or upwards to release panels from pegs.

RELIEF VALVE

The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed 150

psi (1,034 kPa), the maximum working pressure of the water

heater as marked on the rating plate.

The Btu/h rating of the relief valve must equal or exceed the

Btu/h input of the water heater as marked on its rating plate.

Position the outlet of the relief valve above a suitable open

drain to eliminate potential water damage. Piping used

should be of a type approved for hot water distribution.

The discharge line must be no smaller than the outlet

of the valve and must pitch downward from the valve to

allow complete drainage (by gravity) of the relief valve and

discharge line.

The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or

concealed and should be protected from freezing. No valve

of any type, restriction, or reducer coupling should be

installed in the discharge line.

TO FILL THE WATER HEATER

Make certain that the drain valve is closed, then open the

shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.

Open each hot water faucet slowly to allow the air to vent

from the water heater and piping.

A steady flow of water from the hot water faucet(s) indicates

a full water heater.

9

GAS SUPPLY

The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not

exceed 10.5" wc (2.6 kPa) for Natural gas and 13.0" wc

(3.2 kPa) for L.P. gas. The minimum inlet gas pressure

(with main burner on) is shown on the rating plate. Check

to see if high or low gas pressure is present and then

contact the gas company for correction.

The branch gas supply line to the water heater should

be clean properly sized steel pipe or other approved gas

piping material.

A union or ANSI design certified semirigid or flexible gas

appliance connector should be installed in the gas line

close to the water heater. The National Fuel Gas Code

(NFGC) mandates a manual gas shut off valve: See (NFCG)

for complete instructions.

If flexible connectors are used, the maximum length shall

not exceed 36 in. and must meet the requirements in ANSI

Z21.24/CSA 6.10 - Connectors for Gas Appliances.

Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas piping

must be of the type resistant to the action of LP gas. Use

compound sparingly on male threads only.

Where a sediment trap is not incorporated as part of the

appliance, a sediment trap shall be installed downstream

of the equipment shutoff valve as close to the inlet of

the appliance as practical at the time of the appliance

installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting

with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet or other device

recognized as an effective sediment trap. See Figure.

DO NOT use excessive force (20Ft. Lbs.) in tightening the

pipe joint at the gas control (thermostat) inlet, particularly

if teflon pipe compound is used, as the valve body may be

damaged.

For purposes of input adjustment, the minimum inlet

gas pressure (with main burner on) is shown on the

water heater rating plate. If high or low gas pressure are

present, contact your gas supplier for correction.

A ground joint union and manual shutoff valve should be

installed in the gas line near the water heater so that the

burner assembly may be easily removed. The shut-off

valve must be readily accessible for turning on or off.

LEAK TESTING

The water heater and its gas connections MUST be leak

tested at normal operating pressure before it is placed in

operation. Turn ON the manual gas shut-off valve near the

water heater. Use a soapy water solution to test for gas

leaks at all connections and fittings. Bubbles indicate a

gas leak that must be corrected. The water heater factory

connections to the gas valve should also be leak tested

after placing the water heater in operation.

!

WARNING:

NEVER use open flame to test for gas leaks, as bodily

injury or property damage could result.

INSTALLATION

PRESSURE TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM

The water heater and its individual gas shut-off valve

MUST be disconnected from the gas supply piping

system during any high pressure testing of that system at

pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (14” WC. 3.5 kPa).

The water heater MUST be isolated from the gas piping

system by closing the manual gas shut-off valve during

any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at pressures

equal to or less than 1/2 psi (14” WC / 3.5 kPa).

CONDENSATE

The exhaust elbow/condensate trap is shipped pre-installed

with the heater. Pour the neutralizer into the exhaust tee

before vent pipe installation. Make sure that the neutralizer is

at the bottom as shown in the figure on next page.

This is a condensing high efficiency appliance and has a

condensate removal system. The exhaust tee incorporates

a condensate trap and must be filled with water before

operating the water heater. Pour about 1 cup of water into

the exhaust tee.

This water heater generates condensate and requires a drain

to be located in close proximity to allow condensate to drain

safely. The drain line and fittings should be installed per

installation instructions.

Be sure the condensate runs freely to the drain and does not

accumulate in the condensate trap or the condensate line. In

cold climates, precautions may need to be taken to ensure

that the condensate drain lines do not freeze. A water proof

heat tape may be used to prevent freezing of condensate

lines.

• Condensate is mildly acidic and should be collected and

disposed per local codes. Certain local codes require

condensate to be neutralized before it is disposed. This

water heater comes with a pre-packaged neutralizer bag.

Pour the neutralizer in the exhaust-tee prior to installing

vent pipes. Make sure the neutralizer is at the bottom of the

exhaust-tee.

• Use only PVC, CPVC pipe or flexible tubing suitable for use

with flue condensate as drain line. If flexible tubing is used

ensure that there are no bends or twists and has gradual

slope to condensate drain.

• The drain line (along its entire length) must be at least the

same diameter as the drain of the condensate trap (1/2”).

• The drain line must be short as possible and have a

downward slope towards the condensate drain. If suitable

slope is not provided, the drain line can get blocked and will

cause improper operation of the water heater. If a downward

slope cannot be provided, a condensate pump should be used

to pump condensate to a suitable drain.

• The end of the drain line should be open to the atmosphere.

The end should not be under water.

• DO NOT connect the drain line directly to the sewer drain.

• DO NOT connect the drain line with drains from other

appliances.

• DO NOT drain condensate into the water heater drain pan.

• DO NOT drain condensate over public way, walkway or other

areas where it will create slippery condition, which could lead

to personal injury.

HIGH ALTITUDE

Input rating of this water heater is based on sea level

operation. At higher elevations the actual input rate may

be lower than the value listed on the rating label due to the

derating of Natural Gas and LP Gas.

!

WARNING:

Failure to install a water heater suitable for the altitude

at the location it is intended to serve, can result in

improper operation of the appliance resulting in property

damage and/or producing carbon monoxide gas, which

could result in personal injury, or death.

WIRING

A Correct polarity 120V 50/60 Hz power supply with

suitable disconnect means, must be connected to the

black and white leads provided. The maximum current

draw by these models is 7 Amps. The water heater, when

installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance

with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with

the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 in the United

States, or CSA C22.1 Electrical Code, in Canada. Improper

grounding or polarity may result in abnormal operation of

the heater.

INSTALLATION

VENT AND COMBUSTION AIR INLET

NOTE: This unit can be vented either as a direct vent or power

vent configuration.

NOTE: Power vent installations are Category IV.

!

WARNING:

DO NOT connect this water heater to an existing vent

or chimney; it must be vented separately from all other

appliances, using only approved venting materials.

!

WARNING:

Failure to properly vent the water heater to the outdoors

as outlined above and in the following section can result in

unsafe operation of the water heater causing bodily injury,

explosion, fire or death.

!

DANGER:

To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from

carbon monoxide, NEVER operate the water heater unless

it is properly vented and the vent and combustion air inlet

systems are properly installed as detailed in the "Vent and

Combustion Air-Inlet" section of this manual.

The vent and combustion air inlet pipes must overlap a

minimum of 1/2 in. (1.3 cm) at each joint. It is important that

the vent and combustion air inlet pipes engage fully into any

pipe fitting and be kept in that position until the adhesive

has fully cured. DO NOT drill or punch holes in the plastic

pipe or fittings.

IMPORTANT

Where state and/or local codes require vent terminations,

as specified in this Use and Care Manual to be certified

to the UL 1738 Standard for Venting Systems for Gas-

Burning Appliances, Categories II, III, and IV, contact the

Manufacturer’s National Service Department (see last page).

NOTICE:

This unit can be vented using only the below

recommended pipe material. Use only 2, 3, or 4 inch

diameter pipe.

Refer to local codes for restrictions on the use of PVC, CPVC,

PP or ABS pipe and fittings. All exhaust venting materials for

products installed in Canada must meet ULC-S636.

NOTE: For the State of Massachusetts, use only plastic piping,

fittings and vent terminations as spedified in the manual

which are approved by the Massachusetts Board of State

Examiner of Plumbers and Gas for venting of appliances (see

link below):

NOTICE:

Use of PVC cellular core (ASTM-F891), ABS Schedule 40, DWV

cellular core (ASTM –F628), or Radel® (polyphenylsulfone) in

non-metallic venting systems is prohibited.

The unit may be vented horizontally through a wall or vertically

through the roof. Pipe runs must be adequately supported along

both vertical and horizontal runs. Maximum unsupported span

is recommended to be no more than 3 feet. It is imperative that

the first hanger be located on the horizontal run immediately

adjacent to the first 90-degree elbow from the vertical rise or at

the blower outlet. The support method used should isolate the vent

pipe from floor joists or other structural members to help prevent

the transmission of noise and vibration. DO NOT support, pin, or

otherwise secure the venting system in a way that restricts the

normal thermal expansion and contraction of the chosen venting

material.

If the water heater is being installed as a replacement for an

existing power vented or power direct vented water heater, a

thorough inspection of the existing venting system must be

performed prior to any installation work. Verify that the correct

materials, as detailed above, have been used and that the

minimum or maximum vent length and terminal locations, as

detailed in this manual, have been met. Carefully inspect the entire

venting system for any signs of cracks or fractures, particularly at

the joints between elbows or other fittings and the straight runs of

vent pipe. Check the system for signs of sagging or other stresses

in the joints as a result of misalignment of any components in

the system. If any of these conditions are found, they must be

corrected in accordance with the venting instructions in this

manual before completing the installation and putting the water

heater into service.

Additional installation information for The Common wealth of

Massachusetts is located on the back page of this manual.

VENT PIPE CONNECTION

Refer to "Vent Pipe Connection Locations" Figure, for connecting

the vent pipe to the water heater. These models can be vented

either as a direct vent or as a power vent water heater.

NOTICE:

If the unit is installed as a power vent water heater, the vent

terminal with screen must still be installed on the inlet air side.

INSTALLATION

Before starting the vent installation, careful planning of the

routing and termination of vent and air inlet pipes can reduce

installation times. The length of the vent and air inlet pipes

should be kept to a minimum. Refer to the venting charts in

Table 1 for the pipe sizes and the total equivalent length of

pipe that can be used. DO NOT exceed the equivalent length of

pipe in the charts.

Depending on the size of pipe selected for venting the water

heater, it may be necessary to use a fitting for stepping up

to connect to the water heater. DO NOT step down pipe size

below the 2" pipe size. All models are shipped with 2" vent

terminals with screen. If another size of pipe is used for

venting the unit, the proper vent terminal must be installed.

When the unit is vented as a direct vent, through a side wall,

the vent terminals must be on the same exterior wall mounted

horizontally and maintain a minimum distance between the

centers of 15" (38.1 cm).

JOINING PIPES AND

FITTINGS

All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers, and procedures,

must conform to American National Standards Institute and

American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM)

standards in the U.S. For Canada, all pipe, fittings, solvent

cement, primers, and procedures must conform to ULC-S636

and vent manufacture specifications.

CEMENTING JOINTS

NOTICE:

All pipe, fittings, solvent cement, primers and procedures

must conform to American National Standards Institute and

American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM)

standards.

All joints in the vent piping must be properly sealed. Use of the

following material is recommended:

PVC materials should use ASTM D-2564 grade cement.

CPVC materials should use ASTM F-493 grade cement.

ABS materials should use ASTM D-2235 grade cement.

(ABS is not allowed in Canada)

Cleaner-Primer and Medium Body Solvent Cement

1. Cut the pipe end square, removing all jagged edges and

burrs. Chamfer the end of the pipe, and, then, clean the

fitting socket and pipe joint area to remove all dirt, grease,

and moisture.

2. After checking pipe and socket for proper fit, wipe the

socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of

primer to the inside surface of the socket and the outside of

the pipe. DO NOT allow the primer to dry before applying the

cement.

3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket. Quickly

apply a heavy coat to the pipe end. Insert the pipe into the

fitting with a slight twisting motion until it bottoms out.

NOTICE:

Cement must be fluid; if not, re-coat.

4. Hold the pipe fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered

socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.

5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow

15 minutes for drying before handling. Cure time will vary

according to fit, temperature, and humidity.

NOTICE:

Stir the solvent cement frequently while using. Use a

natural bristle brush or the dauber supplied with the can.

The proper brush size is one inch.

FOR PROPER

INSTALLATION

CAUTIONS:

• DO NOT use solvent cement that has become curdled,

lumpy or thickened.

• DO NOT thin solvent cement. Observe shelf precautions

printed on the containers.

• For applications below 32°F (0°C), use only low

temperature type solvent cement.

• Appropriate solvent and cleaner must be used for the

type of vent pipe used (PVC, CPVC, PP, or ABS).

DANGER OF FIRE OR

BODILY INJURY

Solvent cements and primers are highly flammable. Provide

adequate ventilation and do not assemble near a heat source

or open flame. DO NOT smoke. Avoid skin or eye contact.

Observe all cautions and warnings on material containers.

Minimum and Maximum Vent Lengths

Important information for all installations:

1) The minimum required venting is what is required to safely extend the inlet and outlet vent pipes

outside of the building.

2) Each 90° elbow (standard or long sweep elbow) reduces the

equivalent vent length as shown.

3) Each 45° elbow reduces the equivalent vent length by 2 1/2 feet (0.8m).

4) DO NOT mix pipe sizes for venting these models, use only one size of pipe for all venting.

5) All vent terminations (horizontal or vertical) should be a minimum of 24 inches (61cm) and a maximum

of 36 inches (91 cm) apart, as measured from center to center of terminals.

Exceeding the maximum equivalent vent lengths may cause the water heater to malfunction or cause a

lock-out condition.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: The intake and exhaust connections are set-up with 2" Schedule 40 pipe size. An adapter may be used to increase pipe size to 3"

and 4" along the length of the vent and air intake. Vent and air intake pipes should always be set-up to the same size. The vent length

calculations should be based upon termination size.

Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of flex

vents.

All power direct models can use 2 in. concentric venting only as listed in

the above chart.

2 inch concentric vent can only be used with 2 inch rigid piping.

DO NOT mismatch concentric vent terminations with different rigid

piping as it may cause the heater to malfunction or cause a lock-out

condition unless specifically mentioned.

INSTALLATION

Direct Vent Installation

Check to make sure flue gases DO NOT recirculate into the air

intake terminal when using direct venting. If the water heater is

having service issues, flue recirculation may be a contributing

factor.

Even when the minimum vent terminal separation distances

are followed, recirculation may still occur, depending upon the

location outside the building, the distance from other buildings,

proximity to corners, weather conditions, wind patterns, and

snow depth.

Periodically check to make sure that flue recirculation is not

occurring. Signs of flue gas recirculation include frosted or

frozen intake terminals, condensate in the intake terminal and

venting system, oxidation, or white chalk material on the flame

sensor or igniter shield. Correction to flue recirculation may

involve angling the intake away from the exhaust terminal,

increasing the distance between them, or using inside air for

combustion. Check to be sure the intake and exhaust terminals

are not obstructed, especially during periods of below freezing

weather.

All intake and exhaust venting components must have the

same diameter size. DO NOT use a different size on the intake

and exhaust venting.

Be sure the condensate runs freely to a drain and does

not accumulate inside the water heater. In cold climates,

precautions may need to be taken to insure that the condensate

drain does not freeze. Make sure the condensate trap or drain

loop is installed to prevent flue gases from being discharged

into the room. Refer to the "Venting" section of this manual for

complete instructions on venting and condensate drainage.

Stress levels in the pipe and fittings can be significantly

increased by improper installation. If rigid pipe clamps are

used to hold the pipe in place, or if the pipe cannot move freely

through a wall penetration, the pipe may be directly stressed,

or high thermal stresses may be formed when the pipe heats

up and expands. Install accordingly to minimize such stresses.

Follow the below procedure to vent through the wall.

1. Cut two holes for the pipe to pass through. The hole diameter

should be 2.5" (6.4 cm) for 2" pipe, 3.5" (8.9 cm) for 3" pipe.

Vent terminals must maintain a horizontal distance apart in

the range of 24" min. (61 cm).

2. Use the proper PVC cement (primer and adhesive) to secure

the exhaust vent and air intake terminals provided with the

water heater to the plastic pipes. The distance between

the back edge of the exhaust vent terminal and the exterior

wall must be 6 inches (12.7 cm) more for the exhaust vent

terminal than the air intake terminal. Use the proper cement

or sealant and assembly procedures to secure the vent

connector joints between the terminal and the blower outlet.

Provide support brackets every 3 feet (.91 m) of horizontal

vent beyond the intake terminal.

Min. 24"

Inlet Outlet

Additional considerations in the following pages.

DO NOT install vent terminals under any patio or deck.

To help prevent moisture from freezing on walls and under eaves,

DO NOT locate outlet vent terminal on the side of your home with

prevailing winter winds.

DO NOT terminate vent pipe directly on brick or masonry

surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal backing plate behind

vent. (See Figure above.)

DO NOT locate vent terminal too close to shrubbery, since flue

gases may damage them.

Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within 6 feet

(1.83 m) of vent terminal.

All painted surfaces should be primed to lessen the chance of

physical damage. Painted surfaces will require maintenance.

Make sure that all vent pipes exposed to cold conditions (attics,

crawl spaces, etc.) have the proper slope and support to keep

moisture from accumulating in the vent pipes. NOTE: Insulating

of non-metallic vent materials is prohibited.

This water heater requires its own separate venting system.

DO NOT connect the exhaust vent to an existing vent pipe or

chimney.

Moisture in the flue gas will condense as it leaves the vent

terminal. In cold weather this condensate can freeze on the

exterior wall, under the eaves, and on surrounding objects. Some

discoloration to the exterior of the building is to be expected;

however, improper location or installation can result in severe

locations with extended amounts of time with temperatures

under 40°F. (4°C.) and/or prevailing wind toward the outlet

vent, make sure that the outlet vent terminal is at least 2 feet

(0.61 m) away from anything that can be damaged by the

condensate.

HORIZONTAL VENT

INSTALLATION

Once the vent terminal location has been determined, make a

hole through the exterior wall to accommodate the vent pipe.

The vent pipe must exit the exterior wall horizontally only (See

Typical Horizontal Vent Installation Figure on this page).

Insert a small length of vent pipe through the wall, and connect

the coupling as shown in Typical Horizontal Vent Installation

Figure. Connect the vent terminal as shown to the vent pipe on

the exterior of the building. Seal any opening around the vent

pipe or fittings with mortar or silicone caulk as shown in Typical

Horizontal Vent Installation Figure.

Complete the rest of the vent pipe installation to the water

heater’s vent connector fitting on the blower outlet. If necessary,

support the horizontal run of pipe as previously mentioned.

VERTICAL VENT

INSTALLATION

Once the vent terminal location has been determined, make

a hole through the roof and interior ceiling to accommodate

the vent pipe. Complete the vent pipe installation to the water

heater’s vent connector fitting on the blower outlet. Support

vertical or horizontal runs as previously mentioned.

Install adequate flashing where the vent pipe passes through

the roof. Determine the vent terminal height and cut the vent

pipe accordingly. Refer to Vertical Vent Terminal Location Figure

for the proper vent terminal height. Connect the vent elbow onto

the vertical pipe through the roof. Connect a short piece of vent

pipe (approximately 3" (7.6 cm) long) to the elbow, and, then,

join the vent terminal to the short piece of vent pipe.

VENT INSTALLATION – Before proceeding, make certain

you understand the procedure and cautions covered in the

section “Joining Pipes and Fittings.”

POWER VENT INSTALLATION – Power venting is where the

indoor air is used and the exhaust is vented to the outside.

Venting may be run horizontally through an outside wall or

vertically through a roof through using either 2" (5.1 cm),

3" (7.6 cm), 4" (10.2 cm) diameter PVC, ABS, CPVC or PP.

This water heater is supplied with a screened intake elbow

and exhaust coupling referred to as the air intake terminal

and the exhaust vent terminal.

NOTE: Flexible PP vent kit is available for Power Vent

configurations, in 2" and 3" diameters. These kits should

be used for vertical venting only.

NOTICE:

Use of PVC cellular core (ASTM-F891), ABS Schedule

40 DWV cellular core (ASTM –F628), or Radel®

(polyphenylsulfone) in non-metallic venting systems is

prohibited.

In a horizontal application, it is important that condensate

not be allowed to buildup in the exhaust vent pipe. To

prevent this from happening, the pipe should be installed

with a slight upward slope of ¼” per foot. The vent system

must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and every 3

feet of horizontal run of vent pipe length.

Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers

and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or

venting system.

Follow local or National gas codes or latest edition of ANSI standard Z223.1 or CAN/CSA B149 and Propane installation code

• DO NOT terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance hazard

or cause property damage.

• DO NOT locate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental to the

operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.

• DO NOT locate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or walkways where condensate or vapor can cause nui sance or

hazard.

• DO NOT locate the vent termination in proximity to plants/shrubs.
