-Vent length and no. of elbows-
 For best results, a vent system should be as short and straight as possible. 
 This water heater must be vented with approved concentric venting as described on page 13.
 Follow the vent pipe manufacturer's instructions and the instructions in this manual when install-
ing the vent pipe.
 Do not common vent this appliance with any other vented appliance. (Do not terminate vent inside 
a chimney. If the vent must go through the chimney, it must run through the top of the chimney and 
terminate with the roof termination listed on page 10. Install per the vent manufacturer's instructions.)
 When the horizontal vent run exceeds 5 ft (1.5 m), support the vent run at 3 ft (0.9 m) intervals with 
overhead hangers.
 The maximum length of exhaust vent piping must not exceed 43 ft (13.1 m) (deducting 5 ft (1.5 m) for 
each 87° elbow used in the venting system). Do not use more than 4 pieces of 87° elbows.
-DIP switch settings for vent length-
WARNING
 Adjust the appropriate DIP switches according to model and vent length as 
shown below. DO NOT adjust the other DIP switches.
 Turn off the power supply to the water heater before changing the DIP 
switch settings.
 Failure to observe these warnings could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning 
or death.
