MINIMUM CLEARANCES
WARNING
Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions
may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the
warranty.
This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this
water heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or
non-combustible floor. If the water heater is to be installed directly on
carpeting, it shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel extending
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. The minimum clearances
to combustibles for this water heater is: zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the sides
and rear, four (4) inches (10.2 cm) from the front of the jacket, zero (0) inch (0
cm) from the plenum, zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the air intake elbow and
telescopic tubes and twelve (12) inches (30.5 cm) from the direct vent-air
intake terminal. (See Figure 1).
OPTIONAL DIRECT VENT-AIR INTAKE TERMINAL GUARD
WARNING
The direct vent-air intake terminal is HOT while the water heater is
in operation. Do not touch. Keep children, combustibles, gasoline
and other liquids having flammable vapors away.
It is recommended that a vent-air intake terminal guard be installed when the
vent-air intake terminal is located where it can be touched accidentally, or
accessed by children. (See Figure 2).
A chain link or louvered fence may be used instead of the vent-air intake
terminal guard. Maintain proper clearances as specified in this instruction
manual to the vent-air intake terminal. (See Figure 3).
