INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Cement must be fluid; if not, re-coat.
4. Hold the pipe fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered
socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.
5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow
15 minutes for drying before handling. Cure time will vary
according to fit, temperature, and humidity.
NOTICE:
Stir the solvent cement frequently while using. Use a natural
bristle brush or the dauber supplied with the can. The proper
brush size is one inch.
FOR PROPER INSTALLATION
CAUTIONS:
• DO NOT use solvent cement that has become curdled,
lumpy or thickened.
• DO NOT thin solvent cement. Observe shelf
precautions printed on the containers.
• For applications below 32°F (0°C), use only low
temperature type solvent cement.
• Appropriate solvent and cleaner must be used for the
type of vent pipe used (PVC, CPVC, PP, or ABS).
DANGER OF FIRE OR BODILY
INJURY
Solvent cements and primers are highly flammable. Provide
adequate ventilation and do not assemble near a heat source
or open flame. DO NOT smoke. Avoid skin or eye contact.
Observe all cautions and warnings on material containers.
Minimum and Maximum Vent Lengths
Important information for all installations:
1) The minimum required venting is what is required to safely extend the inlet and outlet vent pipes
outside of the building.
2) Each 90° elbow (standard or long sweep elbow) reduces the
equivalent vent length as shown.
3) Each 45° elbow reduces the equivalent vent length by 2 1/2 feet (0.8m).
4) DO NOT mix pipe sizes for venting these models, use only one size of pipe for all venting.
5) All vent terminations (horizontal or vertical) should be a minimum of 24 inches (61cm) and a
maximum of 36 inches (91 cm) apart, as measured from center to center of terminals.
Exceeding the maximum equivalent vent lengths may cause the water heater to malfunction or cause a
lock-out condition.
