FOREWORD
This design complies with the current edition of the ANSI Standard 
Z21.10.3 for gas water heaters Vol. III Storage Water Heaters 
with input ratings above 75,000 BTU per hour Circulating and 
Instantaneous. 
Detailed installation instructions are in this manual. These 
instructions will serve to provide the installer with a reference for 
the materials and method of piping suggested. IT IS ESSENTIAL 
THAT ALL WATER AND GAS PIPING AND THE ELECTRICAL 
WIRING BE INSTALLED AND CONNECTED AS SHOWN IN 
THE DIAGRAMS.
You should thoroughly read and understand this manual before 
installation and operation of this unit.
CHECK THE DIAGRAMS THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING 
INSTALLATION TO AVOID POSSIBLE ERRORS AND TO 
MINIMIZE TIME AND MATERIALS COST.
Particular attention should be given to the installation of 
thermometers at the locations indicated in the diagrams as these 
are necessary for checking the operation of the heater.
MAKE SURE THE GAS ON WHICH THE HEATER WILL 
OPERATE IS THE SAME AS THAT SPECIFIED ON THE HEATER 
MODEL AND RATING PLATE.
The factory warranty will be void if the unit(s) have been improperly 
installed or operated. 
In  addition  to  these  instructions,  the  water  heater(s)  shall  be 
installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force 
in the local area where the installation is to be made. These shall 
be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction 
should be consulted before installations are made.
To comply with NSF Standard 5 installation requirements the 
bottom  of  the  water  heater  must  be  sealed  to  the  oor  with  a 
silicone based sealant or elevated 6 inches above the oor.
In absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the 
latest editions.
In the United States:
The National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and the National 
Electric Code, NFPA 70.
In Canada:
The Installation Code CAN/CGA B149.1 and .2 (latest edition) and 
the Canadian Electric Code, CSA C22.1.
