toward maintaining the water heater’s efficiency. The acceptance of the venting
system is dependent upon full compliance with these installation instructions.
The 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.
