. Before Installation DANGER Checkup • Check the fixing brackets and vent pipe yearly for damage or wear. Replace if necessary. WARNING Precautions on Vent Pipe Replacement • The vent system will almost certainly need to be replaced when this appliance is being installed. Only use vent materials that are specified in this Installation Manual for use on this appliance. Refer to the "Vent Pipe Installation" section for details.
. Choosing Installation Site * Locate the appliance in an area where leakage from the unit or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
CAUTION • Avoid installation above gas ranges or stoves. • Avoid installation between the kitchen fan and stove. If oily fumes or a large amount of steam are present in the installation location, take measures to prevent the fumes and steam from entering in the equipment. Prohibited • Install in a location where the exhaust gas flow will not be affected by fans or range hoods. • Take care that noise and exhaust gas will not affect neighbors.
5. Installation Clearances WARNING Before installing, check for the following: Install in accordance with relevant building and mechanical codes, as well as any local, state or national regulations, or in the absence of local and state codes, to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 – latest edition for detailed requirements. Distance from combustibles Item Check Illustration • Maintain the following clearances from both combustible and non-combustible materials.
Clearance Requirements from Vent Terminations to Building Openings * All clearance requirements are in accordance with ANSI Z21.10.3 and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
6. Installation Securing to the wall Be sure to do • The weight of the device will be applied to the wall. If the strength of the wall is not sufficient, reinforcement must be done to prevent the transfer of vibration. • Do not drop or apply unnecessary force to the device when installing. Internal parts may be damaged and may become highly dangerous. • Install the unit on a vertical wall and ensure that it is level.
Filling the condensate trap with water DANGER When initial start up, make sure that you perform the following procedures. This is to prevent dangerous exhaust gases from entering the building. Failure to following procedure could result in severe personal injury or death. After installing the drain pipe, make sure that the area around the unit is well ventilated; open a window or a door if necessary. Then, operate the unit and verify that condensate is coming out of the drain pipe.
7. Vent Pipe Installation (Indoor Installation Only) WARNING Be sure to do CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING Follow all vent system requirements in accordance with relevant local or state regulation, or, in the absence of local or state code, in the U.S. to the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z233.1/NFPA 54 – latest edition. • Do not install the water heater when the inside/outside temperature is below 40°F (5°C).
Maximum Vent Length Adjustment DIP switch The unit can be adjusted to accommodate longer vent runs; refer to the below table to find the maximum vent length. Adjust the DIP switch according to the vent condition noted in the tables below. • Disconnect power to the water heater before changing the DIP switch. Failure to perform this step will result in a "733" code displayed on the Display Window and a cease in operation.
Venting Installation Instructions (General Information) Property damage, personal injury or death can result if these instructions are not followed. They are a guide for professional installers generally familiar with the installation and maintenance of heating equipment and related vent systems. ・Only manufacturer specified vent parts may be used for this equipment. * Information regarding certification of "Flexible vent pipe and connections".
WARNING This unit is suitable only for vertical vent. Vertical Vent Termination with Polypropylene N-Flex system Storm Collar • Terminate at least 6' (1.8m) from the combustion air Roof Flashing intake of any appliance, and 3' (0.9m) from any other building opening, gas utility meter, service regulator etc. • Enclose exterior vent systems below the roof line to limit Firestop/Support condensation and protect against mechanical failure.
Combustion Air Supply combustion air to the units as per the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Provide adequate combustion air so as to not create negative pressure within the builbing. • Provide two permanent openings to allow circulation of combustion air. • Make each opening 180 square inches if they provide indoor air, and 100 square inches for outdoor air. • If the unit is installed in a mechanical closet, provide a 24" (600mm) clearance in front of the unit to the door.
8. Gas Piping Follow the instructions from the gas supplier. CAUTION The guidelines and examples we have provided in this manual section are for reference only. The sizing and installation of the gas system for this water heater, as with any gas appliance, is the sole responsibility of the installer. The installer must be professionally trained to do such work and must always follow all local and national codes and regulations. Gas line sizing calculations must be performed for every installation.
WARNING Pressure Test The appliance and its gas connections must be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psig (3.5 kPa). We do not recommend pressure testing in excess of ½ psig (3.5kPa).

9. Water Piping Installation and service must be performed by a qualified plumber. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, this product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with the Massachusetts Plumbing and Fuel Gas Code 248 CMR Sections 2.00 and 5.00. Observe all applicable codes. This appliance is suitable for combination potable water and space heating applications. It cannot be used for space heating applications only.
Hot water piping • Do not use lead, PVC, iron or any piping which has been treated with chromates, boiler seal or other chemicals. • The longer the piping, the greater the heat loss. Try to make the piping as short as possible. • Use mixing valves with low water resistance. Use shower heads with low pressure loss. • If necessary, use a pump or other means to ensure that the supply water pressure to the inlet of the heater does not fall below 29 PSI when the maximum amount of water is being demanded.
Water Treatment If this water heater will be installed in an application where the supply water is hard, the water must be treated with either the Noritz H2Flow or ScaleShield or a water softener. Refer to the below tables for suggested treatment and maintenance measures to be taken based on the water hardness level. If this water heater will be installed in an application where the supply water is hard, Scale Build-up may cause damage to the Heat Exchanger.
the Heat Exchanger must be flushed. is set to "Flushing Mode". from an authorized Noritz wholesaler. 22 SBB809L_001_038_E_J.
