SECTION IV: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED
TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING, GAS SUPPLY AND ELECTRICAL
WORK ARE REQUIRED.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
• Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an odorant added by t
he gas supplier
that aids in detection of the gas.
• Most people recognize this odor as a ‘‘sulfur’’ or ‘‘rotten egg’’ smell.
• Other conditions, such as ‘‘odorant fade’’ can cause the odorant to diminish in intensity, or ‘‘fade’’,
and not be as readily detectable.
• If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way unsure of the presence of gas, immediately
contact your gas supplier from a telephone in another building.
• Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing professional for more information.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and w ill remain at floor level if there is a leak.
Basements, craw l spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of
leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
This w ater heater must be located in an area w here leakage of the tank, water line connections, or the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water
heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must
be installed under the water heater. The drain pan depth must be suitable for draining and collecting water,
and have a minimum length and width of at least four (4) inches (10.0 cm) measured from the jacket of the
water heater. The drain pan, as described above, can be purchased from your plumbing professional. The
drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. The piping must be at least ¾ inch (2.0 cm) in diameter and
pitched for proper drainage.
Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury there must be no materials stored
against the water heater and proper care must be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by children)
with the water heater components.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH
AS GASOLI
