National Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CGA
B149.1) in Canada, when installing this product.
1. Select an interior location for the installation. Each
installation is unique; therefore, take the time to fi nd the
best location for the water heater.
a. Install the water heater near locations that use hot
water, such as bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room
faucets.
b. Select a location that minimizes the length of the
water pipe.
c. If the distances are long or if the faucet or appliance
requires “instant” hot water, we recommend running
a recirculation line back to the water heater from the
furthest fi xture. Insulate the hot water supply and
recirculation lines.
d. Select a location away from foot traffi c and away
from areas where dust, debris, chemical agents, or
other combustible materials could accumulate.
e. Allow suffi cient space for service and maintenance
access to all gas, water, and drain connections.
f. Make sure the location meets all building code
requirements.
IMPORTANT
Reduce the maximum equivalent length by 5 feet
per 90° elbow and by 2 feet per 45° elbow. Intake
and exhaust venting pipes have the same allowable
lengths. Do not exceed these set limits.
EXAMPLE: A 3” vent line or fresh air intake line
(Model GX200) with the six 90 degree elbows
would be limited to a length of 70 feet in a twin
pipe configuration
3. Locate the unit close to a drain and near gas and water
connections.
The water heater produces a signifi cant amount of
condensate during normal operation and should be
located near a suitable drain where damage from
a possible leak will be minimal. Installing the water
heater in a location without a drain will void the
warranty and Hubbell will not be responsible for
any resulting water damages that may occur as a
result. For additional information, refer to the Install
Condensate Drain section.
The water heater should be located in an area where
leakage from the unit or water pipes will not result in
damage to the area around the appliance or to lower
fl oors of the structure. When such locations cannot
be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain
pan, adequately drained, be installed under the water
heater. The pan must not restrict combustion air fl ow.
g. Make sure the wall surface the water heater is
mounted onto will support the weight of the unit.
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The Hubbell .. 200 and GX250 water heaters weigh 90 lbs. The
GX200P and GX250P weigh 98 lbs.
2. Minimize the distance that the exhaust gas vent and
fresh air intake must travel to an exterior wall.
a. The exhaust vent outlet must not be located next to
a walkway, near soffi t vents, crawl space vents, or
other areas where condensate (water vapor) could
cause damage or create a hazard.
b. The fresh air inlet vent must be located at least 12”
from the exhaust vent.
c.
Contaminated or dirty air drawn into the intake
pipe can damage the water heater. The Hubbell
warranty does not cover damage caused by
airborne contaminants.

PREPARATION BEFORE INSTALLATION
4. Locate the water heater and all water pipes in an area
where the ambient temperature always remains above
freezing.
NOTICE
In cold climates, if there is a power failure, the unit’s
freeze protection system will not operate, and can
result in water freezing inside the heat exchanger.
To prevent damage to the water heater, turn OFF the gas
supply and inlet
completely drain the unit.
Damage caused by freezing water is not covered by the
Hubbell warranty.
a. When the water heater is connected to an electrical
power supply, it will automatically prevent the water
inside the unit from freezing.
b. The unit’s freeze protection system will not prevent
the water in surrounding pipes from freezing.
water valve. Open the drain valve and
5. Select an appropriate location for the combustion air
and exhaust pipes to exit the house. Use the diagram
and chart on the next page to make this determination.
High Elevation Installations
For operation at elevations above 2,000 feet, Hubbell
model ratings should be reduced by 4% for each 1,000
feet above sea level.
Water Quality
Potable water is defined as drinkable water supplied from
utility or well water in compliance with EPA secondary
maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR part 143.3) as
shown in the table below. If your water contains
contaminants higher than outlined by EPA, then water
treatment is recommended and additional maintainence
may be required. If you suspect that your water is
contaminated in any way or water heater errors occur,
discontinue use of the water heater and contact an
authorized technician or licensed professional.

GAS CONNECTION
WARNING
FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
To avoid serious injury or even death, the gas line
installation and the gas line inlet pressure test
must be done by a licensed professional.
Always match the water heater with the type of gas supplied to the
unit (natural gas or LP gas). The water heater is factory preset for
natural gas.
Make sure the gas line pressures are within normal limits. Pressures
outside normal limits can result in poor performance and hazardous
operating conditions.
1.
Determine if the Hubbell water heater will use natural
gas (factory preset) or LP (propane) gas.
a. To convert the unit to propane, refer to the Propane
(LPG) Conversion section in this manual.
b. Make sure your gas supply matches the rating decal
located on the side of the water heater.
2. Make sure the gas pressure meets the requirements
for the unit, as shown in the tables.
b. Measure the length of the gas supply line from the
gas meter to the water heater or other appliances
requiring gas.
c. Use the Gas Pipe Sizing tables in this manual or
refer to the gas line manufacturers sizing information
to determine the correct diameter for the supply pipe.
d. The diameter of the gas lines, shown in the
illustration, will vary according to the specifi c
installation requirements.
NOTE: Always clean the inside of the gas line of
any dirt or debris before connecting the piping to
the unit.
4. Install a gas union connection with a short piece of 3/4”
NPT pipe.
5. Following local building codes, install a manual shut-off
valve.
