INSULATION
Insulation blankets, available to the
general public, for external use on
gas water heaters are not necessary.
The purpose of an insulation blanket
is to reduce the standby heat loss
encountered with storage tank heaters.
This water heater does not store
water making an insulation blanket
unnecessary.
The manufacturer’s warranty does not
cover any damage or defect caused
by installation, attachment or use of
any type of energy saving or other
unapproved devices (other than those
authorized by the manufacturer) into,
onto or in conjunction with the water
heater.
The use of unauthorized energy saving
devices may shorten the life of the
water heater and may endanger life and
property.
The manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility for such loss of injury
resulting from the use of such
unauthorized devices.
Inlet Pipe and Outlet Pipe Installation
Use pressure resistant pipe to connect the inlet and
the outlet water pipes of the water heater and the local
water pipe (make sure to place the rubber ring). Before
connecting the inlet water pipe, ush the inside of the
pipe.
Hot and Cold Pipe Insulation Installation
For increased energy eciency, use pipe insulation.
Please install the insulation, according to the
illustrations below, making sure to insulate all the way
to the top. Do not cover any drain or pressure valve(s).
DURING INSTALLATION OF THIS WATER HEATER:
DO check inlet gas pressure to ensure that it is within the range specied on the rating plate.
DO provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation as discussed in the Use and Care Manual and the
National Gas Code (CAN/CGA B in 149 Canada).
DO maintain proper clearances to combustibles as specied by applicable code.
DO ensure that the fuel terminal location complies with the guidelines found in the Use and Care Manual and
National Fuel Gas Code (CAN/CGA B 149 in Canada).
DO NOT block or restrict air intake opening located on the back side of the water heater.
DO NOT remove the front cover unless absolutely necessary. This should only be done after being
examined by a qualied service technician.
DO NOT install this product where standing water may occur.
