Venting
Make certain the flue baffle is in place and centered in the flue tube. Cut a 7
1/4 inch (18.5cm) diameter hole in the ceiling and roof directly above the flue of
the water heater. Center the water heater beneath the 7 1/4 inch (18.5cm)
diameter hole in the roof and ceiling for proper alignment of the flue tube and
roof jack vent. Apply non-hardening mastic on the roof, around the previously
cut hole, to form a weather seal with the flashing of the gas vent roof jack
assembly. Note: Only the roof jacks listed in Figure 5 can be used on this
water heater. Insert the 3 inch (7.62 cm) vent connector extension (shipped
telescoped) into the gas vent roof jack assembly and down onto the flue pipe
extruding from the top of the water heater. Fasten the 3 inch (7.62 cm) vent
connector to the flue pipe using the 3 inch (7.62 cm) clamp provided. After all
connections are made, apply a bead of silicone (supplied with vent kit) to all
vent seams and connections above the flue pipe (some kits may contain
silicone bands to seal vent joints).
WARNING
The vent system must be installed properly. Failure to properly install
the vent system could result in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
