Typical Installation Air Requirements WARNING Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas • Water heater must be vented to outdoors. • Vent must be installed by a qualified technician using the installation instructions.
Vent Pipe System This water heater uses a non-direct, single-pipe vent system to remove exhaust gases created by the burning of fossil fuels. Air for combustion is taken from the immediate water heater location or is ducted in from the outside (see "Air Requirements" and "Vent and Exhaust Connections") This water heater must be properly vented for the removal of exhaust gases to the outside atmosphere.
Installation 1. Pierce a 16mm (5/8 in.) dia. hole into the flue pipe 300mm to 450mm (12 to 18 in.) from the breech connection of the water heater. Remove one of the securing nuts from the pipe of the safety switch. Tighten the other securing nut onto the pipe as far as possible. 2. Insert the threaded pipe end into the pierced hole, then install the securing nut, which was removed in step 1, and tighten securely. Caution: Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater when wiring safety switch. 3.
Water Supply This appliance has been design certified as complying with CSA Standard for water heaters and is considered suitable for Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating. The water heater should not be subjected to excessive water pressure fluctuations and should not be subjected to an operating pressure greater than 80 psi. If this occurs, a pressure-reducing valve with a bypass should be installed in the cold-water inlet line.
This unit must NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with a nonpotable water heating appliance. All models are suitable for combination potable water and space heating applications. installation of the valves (see Figure 8). Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Water Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.
Temperature And Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve The Discharge Line/Driptube: WARNING CAUTION Water Damage Hazard Explosion Hazard • Temperature-pressure relief • Temperature-pressure relief valve discharge pipe valve must comply with ANSI Z21.22-CSA4.4 and ASME code. • Properly sized temperaturepressure relief valve must be installed in opening provided. • Do not plug, block, or cap the discharge line. • Failure to follow this warning can result in excessive tank pressure, serious injury or death.
1. Locate the slit running the length of the T&P relief valve insulation. 2. Spread the slit open and fit the insulation over the T&P relief valve (see Figure 9). Apply gentle pressure to the insulation to ensure that it is fully seated on the T&P Relief Valve. Once seated, secure the insulation with duct tape, electrical tape, or equivalent. Important: The insulation and tape must not block the discharge opening or hinder access to the manual relief lever (Figure 9).

reaction between this rod and the water. The most common complaint associated with the anode rod is a “rotten egg smell” produced from the presence of hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. Do not remove this rod permanently as it will void any warranties, stated or implied. A special anode can be ordered if water odour or discolouration occurs. This rod may reduce, if not eliminate, water odour problems.
Caution! The water being drained can be extremely hot! The drain hose should be rated for at least 93°C (200°F). If the drain hose does not have this rating, open the cold water supply valve until the water flow is no longer hot. Close the cold water supply valve and resume. 6. Open the water heater drain valve and allow all the water to drain from the tank. 7. Flush the tank with water as needed to remove sediment. 8. Close the drain valve.
