10. Installation
CAUTION Injury
Incorrect installation can result in severe
injuries and material losses.
Prior to installation ensure you have adequate
space for the work to be carried out.
Handle components with sharp edges
carefully.
The sheet steel casing of the water heater is
not designed to withstand heavy forces.
Handle and install the water heater with care.
10.1 Installation location
DANGER Explosion
Never install the water heater in rooms where
it is at risk from explosions as a result of dust,
gases or vapors.
WARNING Injury
The room where the water heater is to be
installed must have a load-bearing floor. There
is a risk of the water heater breaking through
the floor if the substrate has insufficient load-
bearing capacity. The wet weight of the water
heater is approx. 950 lb (430 kg).
If the floor offers inadequate load-bearing
capacity, there is a risk of the water heater
breaking through the floor, resulting in a risk
to life.
Risk of frost damage
Install the water heater only in an area free
from the risk of frost. When the water heater
is not in use and there is a risk of frost, the
water inside the water tank can freeze and
damage the tank.
- Never install the water heater in areas where the
air temperature regularly drops below 42 °F (6 °C)
or rises above 108 °F (42 °C).
- To prevent nuisance through operating noise, never
install the water heater in the vicinity of bedrooms.
Prevent noise emissions towards a neighbor.
- Allow adequate space around the water heater for
installation, maintenance and cleaning tasks.
With internal installations, also observe the following:
- The available floor area in the installation room
must be at least 10' x 10' - 100 ft² (6 m²). The room
volume must not be less than 500 ft³ (13 m³).
- The water heater must not be restricted by walls
and ceilings. The required minimum clearances
are specified in chapter "Positioning the water
heater/positioning conditions" (see chapter 10.5,
"Positioning the water heater")..
- Observe that the room temperature will drop by 2
to 6 °F (1to3 °C) as a result of the water heater
operation.
- When installing the water heater in a furnace
room, ensure that the furnace operation will not be
impaired.
- To keep line runs as short as possible, we
recommend that the water heater is installed near
the kitchen or bathroom.
10.2 Shipping inspection
