• Installation distances may vary by local code. It is the installer’s responsibility to verify
installation requirements.
• Make sure before installation that the gas type you will use is the same type on the data
plate.
• The water heater unit should be installed by professionals. Improper installation may
cause failure or dangerous conditions such as gas leaking or explosion.
• Water Heater cannot be installed in an UN-VENTED bathroom, bedroom, basement, living
room, closet, outdoor, stairway or an exit area. If installed in an exit area, it must be at
least 16.5 ft. or more away from the exit.
• Vent pipe should extend from the wall at least 2”. The terminal must be at least 1.64 ft.
away from obstruction, and must be well vented.
• Vent pipe should slope 3° downward, to avoid condensing water and protect from rain
entering.
• Vent pipe should avoid direct, strong wind because the downdraft will cause malfunction.
• The water heater should be installed far from any blockage, and with plenty of enough
space for installation and maintenance. Adequate clearances for servicing must be
provided.
• The water heater should not be installed in the same room with a gas stove .
• When determining the oor clearance, a clearance of 6 inches must be maintained
between the vent pipe and combustible material. A side wall clearance of 6 inches and a
top clearance of 12 inches must be maintained.
• The vent pipe can be up to 32 ft. in length with one elbow.
• The vent pipe should be installed with a ame retardant wall thimble. Owner must refer to
vent manufacturer’s instructions and specications. Z-Flex information can be found at
www.novaex.com, please refer to page 19 for additional links. Installation guidelines for
venting provided by NovaFlex, who is solely responsible for venting installation accuracy.
• The power socket connecting the water heater should be grounded properly with a GFCI
circuit protector.
• The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage of the heat exchanger
or connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to it or to lower oors of the
structure.When such areas cannot be avoided it is recommended that a suitable catch
pan, adequately drained, must be installed under the water heater. The pan must not
restrict combustion airow.
• The water heater should be installed as close as practical to the vent termination to
minimize vent length and the number of elbows required for venting.
• A gas red water heater or any other appliance should not be installed in a space where
liquids which give o ammable vapors are to be used or stored. Such liquids include
gasoline, LP gas (butane or propane), paint or adhesives and their thinners, solvents or
removers.
• The water heater should be installed far from heat sources, ammable and dangerous
materials. Because of natural air movement in a room or other enclosed space, ammable
vapors can be carried some distance from where their liquids are being used or stored. The
open ame of the water heater’s main burner can ignite these vapors causing an explosion
or re which may result in severe burns, death or property damage.
