Installation of Venting System Components
WARNING
Refer to the Bradford White EverHot TG series water heater Installation and Operation Instruction
Manual for details concerning vent system termination positions/clearances, allowable vent pipe
lengths, and in what position dip switch number 1 should be placed. If you do not understand how to
configure your vent pipe system and/or which position dip switch number 1 should be placed in,
please contact your Bradford White supplier for assistance.
WARNING
All joints in the vent/air intake piping must be taped with aluminum tape at the completion of the
venting system installation to prevent any possible leakage into the room. Make sure all the pipe
connections are firmly pressed together so that the gaskets form a tight seal.
NOTICE
When mounting the water heater on an outside wall, be sure the vent/air intake pipe will exit
between the wall studs. DO NOT cut through the wall studs for the vent/air intake pipe opening.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the
water heater or venting system.
Vertical venting must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and horizontal venting must be
supported every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent pipe length.
WARNING
Before installation inspect each vent component for damage and correct seal placement. Do not
attempt to fix or install any damaged vent components.

TG model series direct vent water heaters, use only EverHot vent/air
intake system kits and components. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
