WARNING
The vent-air intake system must be properly installed. Failure to properly
install the vent-air intake system could result in property damage,
personal injury or death.
Do not install any damaged vent-air intake system components. Contact
the manufacturer of the water heater for replacement parts.
IMPORTANT
When the following instructions specify, to seal a vent-air intake joint, use
only Loctite Ultra Blue 587 RTV Silicone sealant. A tube of Loctite Ultra
Blue 587 RTV Silicone sealant is supplied with every direct vent water
heater and each optional vent-air intake kit. Make sure that all joints are
completely sealed.
When drilling pilot holes for the #8 sheet metal screws through the five
(5) inch (12.7 cm) diameter components, be careful not to drill into the
inner three (3) inch (7.6 cm) diameter components.
