Installation
LOCATION
• 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 should be installed by a profesional. Improper installation may cause failure or
dangerous conditions such as gas leaking or explosion.
• Failure to have the water heater installed by a professional will void your warranty.
• The water heater cannot be installed in an un-vented bathroom, bedroom, basement, livingroom, closet,
outdoors, laundry room, stairway or an exit area. If installed in an exit area, it must be at least 16.5’ or
more away from the exit.
• Vent pipe should extend from the wall at least 2”. The terminal must be at least 1.64’ 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 not be installed in the same room with a gas stove.
• When determining the oor clearance, a clearance of 6” must be maintained between the vent pipe and
combustible material. A side wall clearance of 6” and a top clearance of 12” must be maintained.
• The vent pipe can be up to 32’ 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 PG. 23 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.
• This water heater MUST NOT be installed in a laundry room or in the same room as the washer/dryer.
Installation of the water heater in a laundry room or in the vicinity of a washer/dryer will void the warranty.
• 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 appliances should not be installed in a space where liquids which
give o amable vapors are to be used or stored. Such liquids include gasoline, LPG (butane or propane),
paint or adhesives and their thiners, 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.
• Raising the water heater will reduce BUT NOT eliminate the possibility of lighting the vapor of any
ammable liquids which may be improperly stored or accidentally spilled.
• If the water heater is installed in a garage, it should be installed so that the direct ignition system and main
burner are no less than 18” above the garage oor.
• Hot and cold water lines should be insulated to conserve water and energy.
• The water heater must be located so it is not subject to physical damage, for example, by moving vehicles,
area ooding, etc.
