13. Reinstall the air intake chamber gasket (removed
in step 7) on the back lower portion of the air
intake chamber box (Figure 79).
14. Install the air intake chamber box to the
combustion chamber pipe. Using a small amount

pressure switch by pushing the tubing onto the
connector until the end of the tubing pushes to the
shoulder of the connector.
18. Check the air hose tubing connection to the
pressure switch to ensure the tubing has not
loosened up or pulled off.

water heater. Plug in the electric connection from
the transformer to the electric outlet (Figure 75).
