Locating Water Heater
• This water heater is not intended for out-
door installations.
• Keep distance between boiler and water
heater to a minimum to:
– reduce piping heat loss
– provide minimal friction loss
• Locate water heater so that any leakage from
the tank or water connections will not cause
damage to the area adjoining the water heater
or to lower floors in the structure.
– When such a location is unavoidable, a
suitable drain pan with adequate drainage,
should be placed under the water heater.
• The SMART Series Water Heaters are designed
for vertical installation only.
Recommended Clearances
• Water heater should be installed to allow
adequate clearance for servicing
• Zero clearance is permissible to any side of
the SMART Series water heater, but infor-
mation labels may be hidden.
• Recommended top or vertical clearance is 12”
minimum.
• Refer to boiler manual for boiler clearances
