GENERAL INFORMATION

This gas-fired water heater’s design is certified by CSA International under the

American National Standard Z21.10.1 and CSA 4.1-M, most current editions at

the time of manufacture.

This water heater must be installed in accordance with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-Latest

Edition) and/or in Canada CAN/CGA B149 Installation Codes (Latest Editions).

The warranty for this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is

installed, adjusted, and operated in accordance with these Installation and

Operating Instructions. The manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage

resulting from alteration and/or failure to comply with these instructions.

This water heater is not design certified for installation in a mobile home. Such

an installation may create a hazardous condition and will nullify the warranty.

Do not use this appliance if any external part has been submerged in water.

You should contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and

to replace any part of the control system including the combination gas control

which has been submerged in water.

Make sure that you check the rating plate and combination gas control on the

water heater to be certain that the type of gas being supplied corresponds with

the marking on the rating plate and combination gas control.

CAUTION

Incorrect operation of this appliance may create a hazard to life

and property and will nullify the warranty.

DANGER

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible, or

corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and its components for

possible damage. DO NOT install any water heater with damaged

components. If damage is evident then please contact the supplier where

the water heater was purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating

plate for replacement parts.

General Information continued-

A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. The removal of this anode, for

any reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active,

an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the

sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen, an

alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water

heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionally, the

water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any

bacteria.

INSTALLATION

Locating The Water Heater

DO NOT install the water heater in any location where gasoline or

flammable vapors are likely to be present.

Water heaters in residential garages must be installed and located, or

protected, to avoid physical damage. For other installations refer to local

codes. In the absence of local codes, the water heater must be installed

in compliance with the National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1- Latest

Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code

(Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code (Latest

Edition).

The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing

this water heater, read the installation section of these instructions. After

reading these installation and operating instructions, select a location for the

water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to gas and water

supply lines. DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be

subjected to freezing temperatures. Make sure the cold water pipes are

not located directly above the gas control so that condensate during

humid weather does not drip on the controls.

WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or

injury, do not store materials against the water heater or vent-air intake

system. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by

children) with the water heater and vent-air intake components. UNDER

NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS

GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE

VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM

OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE

WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.

Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-

Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating

and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical

compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning

solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool

chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals. These

materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to

reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED

BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE

WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE

HAS OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE

COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.

To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:

a) Sealed to the floor with

sealant, in a smooth

and easily cleanable

way, or

b) Installed with an

optional leg kit that

includes legs and/or

extensions that provide

a minimum clearance

of 6” beneath the water

heater.

WARNING

Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas are heavier than air

and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements,

crawl spaces, closets, and areas below ground level will

serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before

lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure

to smell next to the floor.

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any

telephone in your building.

Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s

telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire

department.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS

CORRECTED!

Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-

The water heater must be located close enough to the outside wall to keep the

venting distance within the maximum distance described in the installation

instructions. Read the venting section in this installation instruction manual

before locating the water heater.

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or

water line connections and the combination temperature and pressure relief

valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to

lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable

drain pan adequately piped for proper drainage must be installed under the

water heater. The drain pan, as described above, can be purchased from your

plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain.

The piping must be at least 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter and pitched for proper

drainage.

It is recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4) inches (10.2 cm) be

provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the

combination temperature and pressure relief valve.

This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and weather.

Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced,

anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake.

See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be

obtained from DSA Headquarters Office, 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100,

Sacramento, CA 95811.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE

NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:

Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have

an odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in the detection

of the gas.

Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg”

smell.

Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the

odorant to diminish in intensity, or “fade”, and not be as

readily detectable.

If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way

unsure of the presence of gas, immediately contact your gas

supplier from a neighbor’s telephone.

Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier, or

plumbing professional, for more information.

Minimum Clearances

This installation must allow access to the front of the water heater and

adequate clearance must be provided for servicing and operating this water

heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or non-

combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on carpeting, it

must be installed on top of a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full

width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches (7.6 cm) in any

direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or closet, the entire

floor must be covered by the panel. The minimum clearances to combustibles

for this water heater are: zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the sides and rear, five (5)

inches (12.7 cm) from the front of the jacket, zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the vent

connector and fifteen (15) inches (38.1 cm) from the jacket top. Increase

distances to provide clearance for servicing.

The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited

in local codes or the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI

Z223.1.73.4e and 7.8a, b as follows:

1. Do not terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where condensate or

vapor could create a nuisance or hazard or cause property damage.

2. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or vapor could cause

damage or could be detrimental to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other

equipment.

3. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or walkways where

condensate or vapor can cause nuisance or hazard.

4. The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12” (25.4 cm) above expected snowfall level

to prevent blockage of vent termination.

Venting continued-

Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as

“vent connectors”. Required clearances from combustible materials must be

provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF

WATER HEATER and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code and

local codes.

All vent pipes and terminals are to have a 1” minimum clearance to

combustibles. DO NOT use the placement of insulation or other materials in the

required clearance spaces surrounding the venting to combustible material

unless otherwise specified.

NOTICE

In locations where sustained outside air temperatures are below freezing, it is

possible for the vent terminations to accumulate ice build-up due to adverse local

climate conditions (prevailing wind direction, wind speed, termination orientation,

etc.). The optional concentric vent terminal is more resistant to this ice build-up.

In more severe temperature conditions, an optional manufacturer approved air

intake relief device is available and may be installed, per the instructions, to

prevent nuisance shut down of the water heater. The air intake relief device may

be installed with the concentric vent termination or the standard separate vent

terminations. Consult the concentric vent and/or the air intake relief device

instructions for installation requirements.

WARNING

Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire due to joint separation

or pipe breakage.

This water heater must be properly vented and connected to an

approved vent system in good condition. DO NOT operate water heater

with the absence of an approved vent system. A clean and

unobstructed vent system is necessary to allow noxious fumes that

could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward

maintaining the water heater’s efficiency. The acceptance of the

venting system is dependent upon full compliance with these installation

instructions.

Venting system must not pass through rated fire separations.

The venting system must be free to expand and contract. This venting

system must be supported in accordance with these instructions.
