1 Warning

For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable, combustible or corrosive vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Warning: Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correct combustion air supply and flue pipe installation are very important. If a gas appliance is not installed correctly, fatal accidents can result, such as carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.

Warning: Exhaust gas must be vented to outside using stainless steel vent material suitable for category III vent systems and temperatures up to 480°F. Vent piping must be sealed gas-tight to prevent possibility of flue gas spillage, carbon monoxide emissions and risk of fire, resulting in severe personal injury or death. Approved vent terminators must be used when penetrating to the outside.

Warning: Place the heater in a location where water leaks will do NO DAMAGE to adjacent areas or lower floors.

Warning: Field wiring connections and electrical grounding must comply with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or in Canada, all electrical wiring must comply with the local codes and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Part 1.

Warning: Shock hazard: line voltage is present. Before servicing the water heater, unplug power supply cord from outlet. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury or death.

Warning: The heater must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures equal to or more than 0.5 psig.

Warning: The appliance should be located in an area where leakage of the heater or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.

Warning: The maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed the value specified by the manufacturer and that the minimum value listed is for the purposes of input adjustment.

Warning: If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

Warning: Keeping appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Warning: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Warning: Precautions must be taken prior to manually operating the relief valve to avoid contact with hot water coming out of the relief valve and to prevent water damage.

Caution: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can use improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.

Please follow these instructions. Failure to follow instructions may result in:

B Damage or injury. B Improper operation. B Loss of warranty.

If you are unable to perform the tasks required to install this heater properly, please contact a locally licensed plumber or gas technician.

3.3 Venting

3.3.1 Vent material

Establish vent clearances that comply with the vent manufacturer's specifications. In all cases, follow local codes. See Table 2.

Common installation practice is to determine the venting/intake system layout and penetration and then work back to the heater.

Warning: Do not reduce the vent (exhaust and combustion) pipe sizes and do not common vent with any other vented appliance or stove.

Warning: Failure to vent the exhaust gases to the outside with sealed stainless steel vent pipe (AL29-4C) may result in dangerous flue gases filling the structure in which it is installed.

Warning: Do not mix vent pipe or joining methods from different manufacturers.

Warning: Approved terminators must be used for inlet and exhaust vent systems to prevent rain from entering the appliance. Failure to do so may result in damage to the appliance. This failure is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

Caution: The vent system must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with these instructions. If improperly installed, a hazardous condition such as explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning could result. Bosch Water Heating will not be responsible for improperly installed appliances.

Warning: In areas where outside temperatures routinely come close to freezing, sealed combustion operation is required. Use separate terminations for combustion and vent, which must be installed on the same wall or roof surface, however never facing the direction of prevailing winds. Failure to do so may result in heat exchanger freezing up and bursting. This failure is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

Table 2 Venting Specifications

6 720 608 542

Installation instructions

Horizontal venting systems only:

An optional stainless concentric vent/air intake termination can be used to provide only one penetration point through the exterior wall (see Fig. 8, 9 & 10). The concentric vent/air intake kit can be ordered from your local wholesaler. (Part# ESHCK). Note: Vent piping and

terminal used with concentric vent/air intake kit must be from the same vent pipe manufacturer. The appliance can also be installed with separate air intake and exhaust piping (see Fig. 15

Fig. 8 Concentric kit part # ESHCK

Fig. 9 Concentric kit vent assembly

Fig. 10 Concentric kit installation

3.3.2 Venting Specifications

Install appliance as close to point of vent termination as possible. The exhaust piping must vent directly to the outside of the structure. Horizontal sections of vent must pitch upward towards termination ¼" for every foot of horizontal length, to prevent the pooling of condensate, and be supported at 4 foot intervals with overhead hangers. Exception: horizontal run between last elbow and termination must pitch down to termination 1/4" per foot. Note: For horizontal terminations, venting must terminate once it penetrates to the outside of the structure. There must be no sections of vent pipe exposed to the outdoors other than the termination. Note: Listed thimbles or collars are necessary where venting passes through wall and ceiling partitions. If the vent system passes through combustible areas where the vent clearance requirements cannot be maintained, it is permissible to chase straight sections of sea led 3 inch single wall vent through 4 inch (or greater) T ype-B vent. The distance to combustibles using this chase technique is 1 inch 1). Note: Type-B vent must never be used as the actual exhaust vent system for the appliance, as it is not gas tight and illegal for use with this appliance. This will create a serious health hazard and void the warranty.

For specific questions concerning vent material, specifications, usage or installation, please contact the vent manufacturer directly.

Installation instructions

3.3.5 Condensate drain installation Note: Do not install condensate drain in areas where it

may freeze.

1. Install condensate drain as close to heater as possible.

2. Use 3/8" ID high temperature silicone tube to connect to condensate drain port. Do not use copper piping for any portion of the condensate drain.

3. Form a condensate trap by means of a 3" loop partially filled with water.

4. To increase the tube length, connect to end of the high temperature silicone tubing with vinyl tubing, PVC or CPVC pipe. Do not reduce the internal diameter at any point.

5. Dispose of condensate according to local codes.

3.3.6 Fan speed adjustment

IMPORTANT! Installation adjustment:

After installing the water heater, the fan speed values for minimum power (P2) and maximum power (P1) may need adjustment due to variations in altitude and vent pipe length. Failure to make necessary adjustments to fan speed values may result in improper operation of the appliance.

First calculate the total equivalent vent length. Use this value to determine the appropriate fan speed values, found in Table 12 and make any necessary adjustments. After changing fan speed values proceed to Section 6.4 to confirm CO2 values are within specified ranges.

Total equivalent vent length calculation

B Determine the total length of all straight sections of

vent pipe and enter in table 10, line 1.

B Count the number of 90° elbows used and enter that

value in line 2. (Do not count terminals and first elbow used on intake and exhaust).

B Count the number of 45° elbows used and enter that

value in line 3.

B Repeat steps 1 through 3 for air intake pipe and enter

those values in the intake section of table 10.

B Add line 4 from Exhaust to line 4 of Intake and enter

result in line 5. This is the total equivalent vent length.

Example

Exhaust

• 7 - 3' straight sections

• 1 - 1' straight section = Total straight pipe length 22’

• 2 - 90° elbow.

Intake

• 5 - 3' straight sections =

Total straight pipe length 15’

• 1 - 90° elbows.

Example

Note: Do not count terminals and first elbow used on intake and exhaust.
