8 Unconfined Space A water heater in an unconfined space uses indoor air for combustion and requires at least 50 cubic feet for each 1,000 BTUH of the total input for all gas appliances. The table below shows a few examples of the minimum square footage (area) required for various BTUH inputs. 30,000 45,000 60,000 75,000 90,000 105,000 120,000 135,[...]

9 All Air from Outdoors Outdoor fresh air can be provided to a confined area either directly or by the use of vertical and horizontal ducts. The fresh air can be taken from the outdoors or from crawl or attic spaces that freely communicate with the outdoors. Attic or crawl spaces cannot be closed and must be properly ventilated to the outside. Duct[...]

10 V ent 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 “Combustion Air Supply and V entilation” section). This water heater must be properly vented [...]

11 Chimney Connection IMPORT ANT : Before connecting a vent to a chimney , make sure the chimney passageway is clear and free of obstructions. The chimney must be cleaned if previously used for venting solid fuel appliances or fireplaces. Also consult local and state codes for proper chimney sizing and application or , in the absence of local and s[...]

12 W ater System Piping Piping, fittings, and valves should be installed according to the installation drawing (Figure 13). If the indoor installation area is subject to freezing temperatures, the water piping must be protected by insulation. W ater supply pressure should not exceed 80% of the working pressure of the water heater . The working pres[...]

13 Please note the following: • The system should be installed only with piping that is suitable for potable (drinkable) water such as copper , CPVC, or polybutylene. This water heater must not be installed using iron piping or PVC water piping. • Use only pumps, valves, or fittings that are compatible with potable water . • Use only full flo[...]

14 For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed in the opening marked “T & P RELIEF V AL VE” (see Figure 15A). This valve must be design certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of the production of listed equipment or[...]

15 Special Applications Combination Space Heating/Potable W ater System Some water heater models are equipped with inlet/outlet tappings for use with space heating applications. If this water heater is to be used to supply both space heating and domestic potable (drinking) water , the instructions listed below must be followed. • Be sure to follo[...]

16 W ater Heater Location W ater heater location is important and can affect system performance. Please check the following: □ Installation area free of corrosive elements and flammable materials. □ Centrally located with the water piping system. Located as close to the gas piping and vent pipe system as possible. □ Located indoors and in a v[...]

Make sure the viewport is not missing or damaged. (See Figure 23) Make sure the tank is completely filled with water before lighting the pilot. Check the data plate near the gas control valve/the[...]

18 Checking the Draft After successfully lighting the water heater , allow the unit to operate for 15 minutes and check the draft hood relief opening for proper draft. Make sure all other appliances in the area are operating and all doors are closed when Burn Hazard Do not touch vent. Doing so can result in burns. W ARNING White Rodgers Gas V alve [...]

19 The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest temperature when it is shipped from the factory . Water temperature can be regulated by moving the temperature dial to the preferred setting. The preferred starting point is 120°F . Align the index bar on the thermostat with the desired water temperature as shown in Figure 19. There is a hot water scald [...]

20 Operational Conditions Condensation Moisture from the products of combustion condenses on the tank surface and the outside jacket of the water heater and forms drops of water which may fall onto the burner or other hot surfaces. This will produce a “sizzling” or “frying” noise. NOTE: This condensation is normal and should not be confused[...]

21 MAINTENANCE OF YOUR W A TER HEA TER Draining and Flushing It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may build up during operation.
