IMPORTANT
FOR THE INSTALLER AND USER OF
THIS GAS FIRED WATER HEATER
These instructions have been written for the proper installation and safe operation of this water heater. The installation must conform with one or more of the follow­ing as applicable:
Canadian Installation:
1. The latest edition of CAN/CGA B149.
2. Public Utility and/or local Codes
U.S. Installation:
1. Public Utility and/or local Codes
2. The latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54
WARNING
This water heater must be installed strictly in accordance with the detailed instructions enclosed and local building codes. It must be installed with a proper temperature and pressure relief valve which may release water in normal oper­ation. It is also possible that connections to the water heater, or the water heater itself may develop leaks. IT IS THERE- FORE IMPERATIVE that the water heater be installed so that any water is directed to an adequate drain in such a way that it cannot damage the building, furniture, carpeting or other property subject to water damage. THE COMPANY CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE for damage caused by water from the water heater, pressure relief valve or related fittings where adequate provision to drain such water has not been made. Closets without drains and carpeted areas are examples of unsuitable locations for any water heater.
The warranty on this water heater is in effect only when the heater is installed and operated in accordance with these instructions. The manufacturer of this heater will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to comply with these instructions.
IMPORTANT: Before starting the installation read
the rating plate on the heater. The gas listed must be the same as the gas supplied to the premises. A heater designed for Natural Gas must only be hooked up to a natural gas supply, and likewise, a heater designed for Propane Gas must only be hooked up to propane.
DO NOT PROCEED UNLESS GAS TYPE OF HEATER AND GAS SUPPLY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO BE THE SAME.
LOCATION
Location selected should be as close to the stack or chimney as practical and as centralized with the piping system as pos­sible. Heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures.
The water heater should be located so that the controls and drain are easily accessible. The heater should be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be provided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under the heater. Such pans should be a maximum 2” deep and have a minimum length and width at least two inches greater than the diameter of the water heater and should be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any water damage in connection with this water heater.
The water heater must be level on the floor surface.
Any enclosure surrounding the installation must allow an ade­quate supply of ventilation and combustion air to the water heater. Otherwise sufficient air must be drawn from outside the enclosure. Air may be drawn into the enclosure through an opening. The opening shall have a free area of 1 square inch per thousand BTU’s and be located below 18 inches and above 6 inches as measured to the floor.
Chemical vapour corrosion can occur anywhere that flue gases are carrying cleaning solvents, refrigerants, pool chem­icals, chlorine salts. The location of the water heater should not be near any of these chemicals.
Minimum clearances from the water heater and venting arrangement to combustible materials are: ( See also Fig. 1 and 2).

WATER PIPING
Pipes and fittings should be installed in compliance with the installation drawing. Makes sure the dip tube is in the cold water fitting and water connections are made correctly.
Have the installer show you where the water shut-off valve for the water heater has been installed so that you know where and how to shut the water off. It is recommended that such a valve be located in close proximity to the cold water inlet of the water heater. (See installation drawing, Figure 3).
Connect the cold water supply to the fitting marked “COLD” the hot water outlet to the fitting marked “HOT”. Do not apply heat to either of these fittings. It is imperative that no heat
be applied to these fittings as they contain a non-metallic tube. When marking these connections, always use a good
grade of pipe joint compound and be certain that all fittings are drawn up tight.
After piping has been installed, allow tank to fill up with water and check connections for leaks. To ensure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet until a constant flow of water is obtained.
Check your area for water hardness. Hard water conditions can shorten tank life or cause excessive maintenance. When hard water conditions exist water softening is the best answer to protect both the water heater and the appliances using hot water.
Pressure Build-up in a Water System
During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands, creating a pressure build-up in the water sys­tem. The water supply meter may contain a check valve or back-flow preventer, creating a closed water system. A method of controlling thermal expansion would then be required. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector for instructions to control the situation.
A temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed on the water heater (150 p.s.i maximum pressure setting. See Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve, below.)
Should the relief valve discharge water, a potentially dangerous situation may be indicated and must be inves­tigated. Have the operation of the heater checked by a
qualified service person.
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
For protection against excessive pressure and/or temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must
be installed in the opening marked “T&P VALVE” - a design certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the requirements of Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z 21.22 - latest edition. Pressure rating of the valve must not exceed the working pressure shown on the rat­ing plate of the water heater. The discharge capacity must
be equal to or greater than the input to the water heater. Water heaters intended to be shipped to Canadian destinations may have the temperature and pressure relief valve factory installed. Any replacement valve must meet the latest edition of CAN 1-4.4, the Standard for “Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves.”
Relief valve piping must terminate 6 inches above a floor drain or external to the building. Do not thread, cap or plug the end of this discharge line. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. Do not connect discharge line directly to drain. See figure 3. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life or damage to property, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in the event of excessive temperature or pressure developing in the water heater. The function of the temperature and pressure relief valve is to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not directed to a drain as shown in Figure 3 or other suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage.
The discharge line:
1. Shall not be reduced by a coupling or any other restriction;
2. Must not be plugged, or blocked;
3. Must be of material capable of withstanding 210
o
F,
without distortion;
4. Must be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature and pressure relief valve and dis­charge lines;
5. Must terminate at an adequate drain; and
6. Must not have any valve installed between the relief valve and the water heater.
Page 3
Failure to install and maintain a new, properly listed temperature and pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claims which may result from excessive temperature or water pressure.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this water heater with the cold water inlet valve close. Manually operate temperature and pressure relief valve at least once a year. Standing clear of the outlet, (discharge water will be hot), lift and release the lever handle on the temperature and pressure relief valve to make sure the valve operates freely.
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER IF IT IS NOT COMPLETELY FILLED WITH WATER. TO MAKE SURE THE HEATER IS FILLED, OPEN THE HOT FAUCET OF TAP UNTIL A FULL FLOW OF WATER IS VISIBLE WITH NO AIR ESCAPING.
Page 5
The installation of this appliance must conform to applicable local codes and local authorities having jurisdictions.
Install the gas piping as indicated in Figure 2. Use only new pipe and fittings with sound, clean-cut pipe thread. Sealing compound must conform to the applicable code for pipe sealing compound approved for use with natural gas and propane. It is important to have a readily accessible manu­al shut-off valve in the gas line supplying the heater, close to the heater. A drip leg must be installed ahead of the gas control valve to help trap sediments and foreign material.
A ground-joint union must be installed ahead of the gas valve to permit easy removal of the unit.
Pipe sizing and the number of fittings used must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, Natural Gas Installation Code B.149.1 or Propane Gas Installation Code B149.2.
The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation.
All leak testing must be done with soapy water solution.
Table I Gas Supply Line Sizes (Inches)
(Based on pressure drop of 0.3 inches water column) Correct Gas Pipe Size for Heaters Operating on:
The maximum inlet gas pressure to the appliance must not exceed the gas pressure marked on the rating plate: 10.5” W.C. for natural gas and 13” W.C. for propane gas.
The minimum supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is 1” above manifold pressure. The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa)
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at least pressures equal to or, less then 1/2 psig(3.5kPA)
The input rating of the appliance should be checked against the actual input and the manifold pressure adjusted to give the correct input. In no case should the input exceed the rated input. Overfiring and damage to the appliance will result. High altitude installations require an input check since overfiring is more likely.

VENTING
To carry off the products of combustion, a vent pipe must be attached to the drafthood of the heater and connected to a chimney vent of adequate height and area. Venting connections should be made in accordance with all codes and ordinances which apply.
Ensure that the vent pipe is securely fastened to the draft hood and that the draft hood is properly attached to the heater. For a single heater installation the vent pipe must be sized no small­er than the flue size of the heater. Horizontal runs of vent pipe should be installed with a rise of at least 1/4” per foot of length. The vertical connector rise of vent pipe above the draft hood, before any fittings, should be as great as possible.
When more then one heater is installed and the vents are combined, the area of the horizontal manifold and common vent should be at least equal to the area of the largest single vent, plus 50% of the area of all other vents joining it (see Vent Size Chart below) (For example, to combine two 6” vents with a 5” vent, the area of the combined vent would be equal to 28 + 28/2+20/2 equals 52 square inches - use a minimum 9 inch common vent and manifold). Units with larger inputs must be vented below others. When using a common vent connector, it shall be at the highest practical level.
The chimney vent must be extended at least two feet higher than any obstruction located within 10 feet.
Where a back draft exists, the cause must be determined and corrected. A flue cap on the chimney vent may correct the sit­uation. However, if the back draft cannot be corrected, if long horizontal vent pipe runs are necessary, or if a suitable flue cannot be obtained, a mechanical exhaust may be required to ensure proper venting and combustion.
Some local codes prohibit connecting a gas heater to a flue or chimney with coal or oil fired equipment. Therefore, these connections should be avoided. However, where a separate chimney is not available, the flue pipe from the water heater should enter the common flue or chimney at a point ABOVE the flue pipe from the coal or oil fired equipment.
Improper venting may result in poor combustion, sooting and serious damage to the heater.

FLUE DAMPER
Flue Damper Installation
For Models equipped with a flue damper, the following instructions must be followed. It is recommended to leave a minimum 24” clearance from the actuator side of the flue damper for service access.
S
tep 1:
Place flue damper on top pan into flue collector. The rail support must be screwed to the top pan. The three pre-drilled holes on the casing top must align with the three holes on the rail support. The rail support must fit flush with the casing top.
S
tep 2:
Install the draft hood which is supplied with the heater in the carton to the heater top. Fasten the draft hood with the four sheet metal screws supplied.
S
tep 3:
Remove junction box cover plugs. Remove flue damper cover. The wiring harness provided plugs into the four plug female molex con­nector (use strain relief connector provided). Molex plugs mate together one way only.
To manually set the damper in the open position, see diagram below.
Flue Damper Venting
The vent pipe (flue pipe) must be installed without restriction or reduction in size. Slope the horizontal run upwards to the chimney at least 1/4” per foot. Fasten all joints with sheet metal screws. (See Figure 4)
Venting must be inspected every three months for blockage and problems due to age of the vent piping.
Damper Position Indicator
The damper position indicator can be found on the flue collar of the flue damper. (See Figure 4).
Heater Wiring
Follow local codes for all electrical work. To reduce risk of shock or possible electrocution, the heater must be electrical­ly grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI / NFPA 70.
If any of the original wiring must be replaced use only type 105
o
C thermoplastic or equivalent.
NOTE: THE FLUE DAMPER MUST BE IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN APPLIANCE, PILOT AND OR MAIN BURNERS ARE ON. THIS SHOULD BE CHECKED BY THE INSTALLER BEFORE LEAVING.

AIR SUPPLY
Ensure that adequate ventilation is available to supply make-up air for proper combustion. Openings sufficient to provide one square inch of free area for each 1,000 BTU/hr. input rating of all appliances must be provided for this purpose. Where heaters are installed in a confined space, two openings - one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom each having a free area of one square inch for each 1,000 BTU/hr. input - shall be provided. Refer to standard CAN 1-B.149-1 or .2 or local codes for complete ventilation and combustion air requirements.
If an exhaust fan is in the same room as a heater, adequate air openings must be provided in the walls, otherwise, air may be drawn into the room through the chimney or flue causing poor combustion.
MECHANICAL POWER VENTING OPTION
Power venting is an option on your water heater. A power venter kit is available for every model. Please consult with the company for more details.

LP (PROPANE) GAS MODELS
LP. GAS IS HEAVIER THAN AIR.
Should there be a leak in the system, the gas will settle at FLOOR LEVEL. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of the gas.
Out Of Fuel
When your LP tank runs out of fuel, turn off gas at all gas appliances. After LP tank is refilled, all appliances must be re-lit according to the manufactures’ instructions.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Venting System Inspection
Every three months, when inspecting the burner flame, an inspection of the venting system should be made.
Check these points:
1. Are the draft hood relief openings free of obstruction?
2. Is the flue pipe securely attached?
3. Is the flue pipe cemented into the chimney or are cracks and loose cement visible?
CORRECT ANY DEFECTS IMMEDIATELY
Burner Maintenance
At least every three months, check the burner and pilot flames. The burner flames must be a soft blue flame with no yellow tips. Yellow tips indicate a carbonizing flame which can, depending on severity, deposit carbon (soot) on the combustion chamber and flue passages.
1. The burner air openings (primary air) may need clean ing. Observe if lint and dust have accumulated.
2. With a small brush, clear away lint and dust which may have accumulated. Observe if any debris has fallen on the burner which obstructs the burner ports. See Figure 5 for a view of a comparison of a good flame. If in doubt, consult a competent serviceman or your local gas company.
3. Turn thermostat dial up to turn burner “ON”
4. Loosen the air shutter retaining screw.
5. With a screw driver, lightly tap the air shutter and move it in the more open direction (Figure 5)
6. If yellow flame disappears, tighten the screws, taking care not to move air shutter again.
7. When flames appear normal (Figure 5) replace burner access cover.
8. Turn thermostat down to the previous setting.
Tank Clean-Out
A) A clean-out opening is provided for periodic cleaning of
the tank. Gas must be shut off and the heater drained before opening the clean-out.
B) To clean heater through the clean-out opening, proceed
as follows:
- remove outer door from side of the side of the casing.
- peel back the insulation covering the clean-out flange.
- remove the six (6) hex head screws securing the tank clean-out plate and remove the plate.
- remove lime, scale or sediment using care not to damage the glass lining of the tank.
- inspect the clean-out gasket, if it shows sign of wear a new gasket is required.
- install the clean-out plate. Be sure to draw plate up tight by tightening screws securely.
- position the insulation, and replace outer door.
NOTE:
In some areas where there is a lot of lime in the water, the tank should be cleaned more frequently, otherwise the heater will develop excess scale on the bottom and cause a banging, rumbling or boiling noise and will affect the recovery, operation and life of the heater.

NOTE:
While moving the air shutter dust particles will be dis­turbed and drawn into the burner causing a bright, lumi­nous flame. This is temporary and must not be confused with a yellow tipped, carbonizing flame. Carbonizing flames are often called “candling” flames because they look like flames from a burning candle

GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING
As a precaution against fire, and to maintain an adequate flow of combustion air to the heater:
- Keep the appliance area clear and free from com­bustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapours and liquids.
- Keep any ventilation and combustion air openings unobstructed.
- do not pile cartons, papers or combustible materials on top or around the heater. Maintain clearances to combustible construction unobstructed.
TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
The temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P valve) is a part of the safety equipment on the water heater. In order to keep the T&P valve functioning properly, operate the valve at least once a year by lifting the manual lever until water dis­charges from the overflow pipe.
CAUTION: The water flowing from the valve will be HOT. Keep hands and feet away from the stream of water. Take care that discharging water does not damage any flooring, carpeting or other parts of the building which may be damaged by water.
See also section on T & P valve in the “installation Section”
WATER TEMPERATURE REGULATION
The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest temperature position when shipped from the factory. The temperature of the water can be selected by setting of the temperature dial on the front of the gas control. The normal setting corresponds to approx­imately 130
o
F.
GAS CONTROL
The gas control is equipped with an energy cutoff switch, E.C.O., which functions as a high limit safety switch. When the water temperature exceeds the fixed cutout temperature, the switch will cycle open. This will interrupt the pilot valve cir­cuit and stop all gas flow through the control.
Two types of E.C.O. limits are manufactured:
1. Recycling
2. Non recycling.
The recycling E.C.O. switch will open when water temperature exceeds fixed cutoff temperature. When the temperature in
the tank cools sufficiently (approximately 120
o
F) the switch will close. This will re-establish the electrical circuit and permit the pilot to function through E.C.O. If recycling of the E.C.O. occurs, it indicates that a problem exists in the heater or installation which must be corrected.
The non-recycling E.C.O. switch will open when water temper­ature exceeds fixed cutoff temperature. It will not close circuit again when the water temperature cools. When this contact opens, it indicates that a problem exists in the heater which must be corrected before a new control is used in the water heater. If single cycle energy cutoff switch opens contact, the control must be replaced.
For gas control replacement, contact your local gas utility, or a qualified service person. The replacement control must be an identical model to the control which has been removed.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
TEMPERATURE
Set temperature as low as possible to provide an adequate supply of hot water. This will reduce heat loss and extend the life of the glass lining. Every “notch” on the dial of the gas con­trol corresponds to approximately a 10oincrement in water temperature.
HIGHER SETTING INCREASES
THE RISK OF SCALD INJURY
In households with children or invalids and elderly, select a lower temperature setting. To reduce the risk of scalding, valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. Consult a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.
EXPOSURE TO WATER
TAMPERING
Tampering with the thermostat, gas valve, igniter control or temperature and pressure relief valve is DANGEROUS and voids all warranties. Only qualified personnel should service these components.
IMPORTANT
Should the water heater be subjected to flooding, fire or other unusual condition, turn off gas at the manual gas shut-off valve and water at the inlet valve to the heater. Do not put the heater in operation until a qualified gas technician has inspected and replaced any part of the gas control system that has been underwater.
Page 18
Page 17
CATHODIC PROTECTION
Depending on the model, two or three magnesium anodes are factory installed inside the tank to provide corrosion protection and to extend tank life. Permanent removal of the anode(s) for any purpose will void the warranty.
Read the warranty attached to this water heater for a full explanation of the time period that parts and the heater are warranted.
It is advisable to inspect the condition of the anode(s) at certain intervals. A two year period may be a guide to begin with. The life of the anode depends on many factors and can differ greatly from one location to another.
To remove and anode, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the gas off at the inlet to the heater.
2. Turn water off at the cold water inlet valve.
3. Open a nearby HOT water tap.
4. Drain approximately two pails full of water from the heater.
5. Remove the vent pipe and the draft hood. Remove the hot and cold water connections.
6. Lift up the other casing top and the insulation under it.
7. Lift up the inner flue collector. NOTE: the flue collector has a lip extending out on the circumference which can be used for lifting.
8. With a 1-1/6” hex socket wrench, loosen the anode from the fitting in the tank top.
NOTE: The anodes have been factory installed using a power tool. It will be necessary for a second person to restrain the heater. A few sharp blows on the handle of the socket wrench will loosen the anode adapter.
If an impact wrench (power driven) is available, this is an easy way to remove an anode.
9. Lift the anode up and inspect. There should be at least 3/8” to 1/2” of anode diameter left. The surface may be rough, full of pits and crevices, but this is normal.
If there is less than approximately 3/8” diameter left, the anode needs to be replaced.
10. Apply a good grade of pipe dope to the threads of the anode adaptor and screw securely into the tank top.
11. Replace the flue collector. Make sure it seals all around the circumference.
12. Replace the insulation and the casing top.
13. Re-connect hot and cold water lines.
14. Replace the draft hood and the vent pipe. NOTE: If the vent pipe shows signs of corrosion or damage, replace it with new material. See section on “Venting”
15. Open the cold water inlet valve and fill the tank.
16. Check for leaks.
17. To relight burners, follow “Lighting Instructions”
DISHWASHING MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
The heater may be operated to supply the 180oF sanitizing rinse water required by the public health code for dishwashing machines. In such installations, the heater should be located as close as possible to the dishwasher. If the distance between the dishwasher and heater is greater than 5 ft. the pipes should be insulated and recirculation of the 180
o
F water should be provided. The circulation flow rate should be enough to provided 180oF to the dishwasher, however, the rate should be low to minimize turbulence inside the water heater.
Flow pressures to the dishwasher above 25 or below 15 pounds per square inch will not produce a proper rinse spray. If flow pressure to the dishwasher is high a pressure reducing valve should be used in the 180
o
F line to deliver water at 20 pounds per square inch for the rinse cycle. If the flow is too low a pressure booster should be installed.
MULTIPLE HEATERS IN SINGLE SYSTEM
When two or more water heaters are installed into a single sys­tem, the following precautions must be taken to ensure that each heater is able to deliver it’s full rated capacity of hot water for maximum system efficiency.
1. Gas supply piping must be large enough (see table 1)
2. The combined flue pipe must be large enough. see local codes.
3. The water connections must be properly manifolded.
WATER ODOR PROBLEMS
When the area water trace mineral content is high. The odor of the water may be strong. Replacing the water by draining it completely and flushing then refilling it may help. Chlorination and replacement of magnesium anode with aluminum anode may help if the problem persists.
CAUTION
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water sys­tem served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that a hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliances connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is opened.
