    1. Cut 5 1/2” diameter holes through the roof and ceiling directly in line
    with the flue connection on top of the water heater. For a sloped roof,
    the roof hole may have to be enlarged to allow the roof jack to be
    installed vertically.
    2. Telescope down the flue pipe in the roof jack assembly to a length
    that will project at least 6” below the finished ceiling before installing
    the roof jack assembly.
    NOTE: Flue pipe joints have silicone seals that must remain in place. A
    soapy water solution sprayed around the seal area will enable the flue
    pipe and outer pipe below to telescope more freely.
    3. Telescope down the outer pipe of the roof jack assembly to a length
    that will project at least 2” below the finished ceiling before installing
    the roof jack assembly, see Figure 14.

    the heater to operate.
    CEMENTING PVC, ABS OR CPVC PIPE AND FITTINGS
    Read and observe all safety information printed on primer, cleaner, and
    cement containers.
    Primer, cleaner, and cements are extremely flammable. They are harmful
    or fatal if swallowed. The vapors are harmful. They may irritate eyes
    and skin and can be absorbed through the skin.
    Always store primer, cleaner, and cements in cool, dry, well ventilated
    places. Keep containers closed. Use them in well ventilated areas.
    Wear impervious clothing while handling. Do not smoke, eat, or drink
    while handling. Wash thoroughly after handling and before eating.
    Wear eye protection when handling. If swallowed, drink water, do not
    induce vomitting, and call a physician or poison control center
    immediately. If inhaled, get fresh air and seek medical attention if ill
    feelings persist. In case of eye and skin contact, immediately flush with
    plenty of water for 15 minuttes and seek medical attention if irritation
    persists. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
    All primers, cleaners, and cements must meet all local codes and
    applicable standards of the American Society For Testing Materials
    Standards.
    Before using primers, cleaners and cements, stir or shake, making
    sure contents are liquid. Do not use if found to be lumpy or jelly-like.
    1. Cut pipe ends squarely removing all burrs and dirt.
    2. Dry fit pipe and fittings to be connected for proper fit.
    3. Clean pipe and fitting with primer/cleaner.
    4. Apply a thin coat of cement to fitting, avoiding puddling inside.
    5. Apply a liberal coat of cement to pipe leaving no voids.
    6. QUICKLY assemble parts while cement is fluid! If you wait too long,
    recoat pipes.
    7. Push pipe completely into socket of fitting, turning as it goes until it
    bottoms.
    8. Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds. Then carefully clean
    off excess with a cloth. Allow connections a sufficient time to cure
    before distrurbing.

    WATER PIPING
    HOTTER  WATER  CAN  SCALD:
    Water heaters are intended to produce hot water.  Water heated to a
    temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish
    washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can scald and
    permanently injure you upon contact.  Some people are more likely to
    be permanently injured by hot water than others.  These include the
    elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped.  If
    anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or
    if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature
    water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions.  In
    addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies
    your hot water needs, a means such as a *mixing valve, shall be
    used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water
    heater, see Figure 2.  Valves for reducing point of use temperature by
    mixing cold and hot water are also available. Consult  a Qualified
    Installer or Service Agency.  Follow  manufacturer’s instructions for
    installation of the valves.  Before changing the factory setting on the
    thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in this manual.
    This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or
    component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
    Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment shall not be
    introduced into this system.
    Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line
    pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among
    others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check
    valves, back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems.
    When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no
    other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be
    closed.  As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed
    systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water.The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and
    increases the pressure of the water system.  If the relieving point of
    the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the
    valve will relieve the excess pressure.  The temperature-pressure
    relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal
    expansion.  This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected.
    It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a
    closed system have a by-pass and/or the system have an expansion
    tank to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water
    system.  Expansion tanks are available for ordering through a local
    plumbing contractor. 
     Contact the local water supplier and/or a service
    agency for assistance in controlling these situations.
    NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold
    water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-electric
    unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when
    connected to copper pipe.
    Figure 24 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to the
    water heater.  The water heater is equipped with 3/4 inch NPT water
    connections.
      
    FIGURE 24.
    T & P VALVE AND PIPE INSULATION
    Remove insulation for T&P Valve and pipe connections from carton.
    Fit pipe insulation over the hot water line. Make sure that the insulation
    is against the top cover of the heater.
    Fit T&P Valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does
    not interfere with the lever of the T&P valve. 
    						
    							15
    Secure all insulation using tape.
                                    
    FIGURE 25.
    WATER PIPING PRESSURE TEST
    This section is only for the manufacturer installing the water heater
    when the installation is to comply with H.U.D. Standards.
    When testing the water ways, H.U.D. Standards state:
    “Water distribution system. All water piping in the water distribution
    system shall be subjected to a pressure test. The test shall be made by
    subjecting the system to air or water at 100 psi for 15 minutes without
    loss of pressure. When air pressure is used, the water heater
    shall not be connected during the test”.
    NOTE: If water piping system is to be air pressure tested, the water
    heater must be disconnected from the water piping system. Failure to
    disconnect the water heater during air pressure testing of water piping
    system could result IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR
    PROPERTY DAMAGE.
       
    FIGURE 26.
    TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
    This heater is provided with a properly certified combination
    temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
    The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that
    maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of
    materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic
    Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 •
    CSA 4.4, and the code requirements of ASME.
    If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, but
    not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve
    certified as indicated in the above paragraph.
    The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed
    the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater
     (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water
    heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate.
    For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be
    removed from its designated opening nor plugged.
    The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into
    the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve.  Position the
    valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit
    only  at any distance below the structural floor.  Be certain that no
    contact is made with any live electrical part.  The discharge opening
    must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.
    Excessive length, over 30 feet (9.14 m), or use of more than four
    elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of
    the valve, see Figure 27.
    No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve
    and the tank.  Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless
    a 6 inch air gap is provided.  To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or
    property damage, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water
    in quantities should circumstances demand.  If the discharge pipe is not
    connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may
    cause property damage.
    The Discharge Pipe:
    • Shall not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or
    have any reducing couplings or other restrictions.
    • If water piping system is to be air pressure tested, the water
    heater must be disconnected from the water piping system.
    • Failure to disconnect the water heater during air pressure
    testing of the water system could result in DEATH, SERIOUS
    BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
    • Temperature-pressure relief valve
    must comply with ANSI Z21.22
    and ASME code.
    • Properly sized temperature-relief
    valve must be installed in opening
    provided.
    • Can result in overheating and
    excessive tank pressure.
    • Can cause serious injury or death. 
    						
    							16
    • Shall not be plugged or blocked.
    • Shall be of material listed for hot water distribution.
    • Shall be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the
    temperature-pressure relief valve, and the discharge pipe.
    • Shall terminate at an adequate drain.
    • Shall not have any valve between the relief valve and tank.
    The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at
    least once a year.  Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is
    in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve
    discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause
    any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be
    extremely hot.
    If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and
    continues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet to
    the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the
    temperature-pressure relief valve with a new one.
    FIGURE 27.
    FILLING THE WATER HEATER
    Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water.  To
    prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be filled with water.  Water
    must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON” gas to the
    water heater.
    To fill the water heater with water:
    1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to the right
    (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water
    heater.
    2. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater.
    NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when
    the water heater is in use.
    3. To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the
    nearest hot water faucet.  Allow water to run until a constant flow
    is obtained.  This will let air out of the water heater and the piping.
    4. Check all water piping and connections for leaks.  Repair as needed.
    GAS PIPING
    Make sure the gas supplied is the same type listed on the model rating
    plate.  The inlet gas pressure must not exceed 10.5” W.C. for natural
    gas and 13” W.C. for propane (L.P.) gas.  The minimum inlet gas pressure
    shown on the rating plate is that which will permit firing at rated input.
    If the gas control valve is subjected to pressures exceeding 1/2 pound
    per square inch (3.5 kPa), the damage to the gas control valve could
    result in a fire or explosion from leaking gas.
    If the main gas line Shut-off serving all gas appliances is used, also
    turn “off” the gas at each appliance.  Leave all gas appliances shut
    “off” until the water heater installation is complete.
    A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water heater.  Consult
    the current edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
    and your gas supplier concerning pipe size. 
    						
    							17
    There must be:
    • A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas supply line
    serving the water heater, and
    • A drip leg (sediment trap) ahead of the gas control valve to help
    prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the gas control valve.
    • A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union between the shut
    off valve and control valve to permit servicing of the unit.
    Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before lighting the water
    heater.  Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame.  Rinse
    off soapy solution and wipe dry.
    When installed at elevations above 5,000 feet (1524 m), input rating
    should be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet  (305 m)
    above sea level which requires replacement of the burner orifice in
    accordance with National Fuel Gas Code ANSI  Z223.1/NFPA 54. Contact
    your local gas supplier for further information.
    Failure to replace the standard orifice with a high altitude orifice when
    installed could result in improper and inefficient operation of the
    appliance, producing carbon monoxide gas in excess of safe limits,
    which could result in serious injury or death. Contact your gas supplier
    for any specific changes which may be required in your area.
    Use pipe joint compound or teflon tape marked as being resistant to the
    action of petroleum [Propane (L.P.)] gases.
    The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing
    the appliance in operation.
    The appliance and its individual Shut-off valve shall be disconnected
    from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that
    system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 pound per square inch
    (3.5 kPa).  It shall be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
    closing its individual manual Shut-off valve during any pressure testing
    of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
    1/2 pound per square inch (3.5 kPa).
    Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater
    can be accomplished by either of the two methods shown in
    Figures 28, 29 and 30.
    SEDIMENT TRAPS
    A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water
    heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The sediment
    trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nipple in the bottom outlet
    or other device recognized as an effective sediment trap. If a tee fitting
    is used, it shall be installed in conformance with one of the methods of
    installation shown in Figures 28,29 and 30.

    ALTERNATIVE SEDIMENT TRAP LOCATION
               
    FIGURE  30.
    Contaminants in the gas lines may cause improper operation of the gas
    control valve that may result in fire or explosion.  Before attaching the
    gas line be sure that all gas pipe is clean on the inside.  To trap any dirt
    or foreign material in the gas supply line, a drip leg (sometimes called a
    sediment trap) must be incorporated in the piping.  The drip leg must be
    readily accessible.  Install in accordance with the “Gas Piping” section.
    Refer to the current edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
    NFPA 54.

      to “OFF”
    and call the gas supplier.
    Step 15. Check for gas leaks with only pilot flame burning using soapy
    water solution, not a match or open flame. Check for gas
    leaks at fittings “F” and “G”, see Figure 35  page 19 and at
    fittings “J”, see Figure 32 page 19.
    Step 16.Make sure temperature adjustment dial is turned
    clockwise ( 
      ) in its lowest position, see Figure 31
    page 19.
    Step 17. Replace outer door.
    Step 18. At arm’s length away turn gas control knob to the full “ON”
    position. WARNING:  D o  not use gas control knob to
    regulate gas flow. Turn temperature adjustment dial
    counterclockwise ( 
     ) until gas flows to main burner and
    ignites.
    Step 19. With a soapy water solution, not a match or open flame,
    check for gas leaks at gas connection “H”, see Figure 32
    page 19. If gas leak occurs, turn off immediately by shutting
    off gas cock at inlet to control, or by turning gas control
    knob 
     to “PILOT” pushing down and turning to “OFF”.
    Repair gas leak as necessary, and repeat Steps 9 through
    19.
    Step 20. At arm’s length away, set the thermostat to desired setting.
    The mark ( 
     ) HOT indicative of approx. 120°F (49°C) is
    preferred starting point. Some local laws may require a lower
    starting point. If hotter water is desired see the “Temperature
    Regulation” section in this manual.
