Venting
VENT DAMPERS = Any vent damper, whether it is operated
thermally or otherwise must be removed if its use inhibits proper
drafting of the water heater.
Thermally Operated Vent Dampers: Gas-fired water heaters
having thermal efficiency in excess of 80% may produce a
relatively low flue gas temperature. Such temperatures may
not be high enough to properly open therma!ly operated vent
dampers. This would cause spillage of the flue gases and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Vent dampers must bear evidence of certification as complying
with the current edition of the American National Standard
ANSI Z21.68 (ANSI Z21.66 & 67, respectively, cover electrically
and mechanically actuated vent dampers). Before installation
of any vent damper, consult your local Sears Service Center or
the local gas supplier for further information.
Breathing Hazard - Carbon Mono×ide Gas
Vent dampers must be certified
in accordance with ANSI Z21 _68_
Vent damper must permit proper
drafting of water heater,
• Install properlysizedventing.
Do not install without venting
outdoors.
. Do notinstallwithoutdrafthood.
If common vented install in
accordance with NFPA 54
Be alert for obstructed or detedoo
rated vent system to avoid
serious iniun:/or death.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or
death Always read and understand instruction manual.
To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the
correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additions or
deletions of other gas appliances on a common vent with this
water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water
heater. Consult your gas supplier if any such changes are
planned.
For proper venting in certain installations, a larger diameter
vent pipe may be necessary. Consult your !ocal Sears Service
Center or gas supplier to aid you in determining the proper
venting for your water heater from the vent tables in the current
edition of the National Fue! Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
Periodically check the venting system for signs of obstruction
or deterioration and replace if needed.
The combustion and ventilation air flow must not be obstructed.
The water heater with draft hood installed must be connected
to a chimney or listed vent pipe system, which terminates to
the outdoors. Never operate the water heater unless it is vented
to the outdoors and has adequate air supply to avoid risks of
improper operation, explosion or asphyxiation.
For proper draft hood attachment, the draft hood legs may
be angled slightly inward.
Place the draft hood legs in the receiving hobs on the top of
the water heater. The legs wil! snap in the holes to give a
tight fit. Secure two legs to top with sheet metal screws.
Place the vent pipe over the draft hood. With the vent pipe in
position, drill a small hob through both the vent pipe and
draft hood. Secure them together with a sheet metal screw.
See Figure 17.
Obstructed or deteriorated vent systems may present serious
health risk or asphyxiation.
DRAFT HOOD
HGURE17.
The vent pipe from the water heater must be no less than the
diameter of the draft hood outlet on the water heater and must
slope upward at bast 1/4 inch per linear foot (21 mm per meter).
See Figure 18.
