4. Attach a hose to the water heater
drain valve and put the other end
in a floor drain or outdoors. Open
the water heater drain valve. Open
a nearby hot water faucet which
will relieve pressure in the water
heater and speed draining. The water
passing out of the drain valve may
be extremely hot. To avoid being
scalded, make sure all connections
are tight and that the water flow is
directed away from any person, see
Figures 2 and 5.
Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood where it connects
to the water heater. In most installations the vent pipe can be
lifted off after any screw or other attached devices are removed.
Dispose of the draft hood. The new water heater has a draft
hood which must be used for proper operation.
If you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper
water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approximately four inches
away from where they connect to the water heater, see Figure
6. This will avoid cutting off pipes too short. Additional cuts
can be made later if necessary. Disconnect the temperature-
pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is
drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the
drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnected
and ready to be removed.
FIGURE 5.
FIGURE 2.
Turn "OFF" the gas supply to the
water heater.
If the main gas line shut-off valve
serving all gas appliances is used,
also shut "OFF" the gas at each
appliance. Leave all gas appliances
shut "OFF" until the water heater
installation is completed, see
Figures 2 and 3.
2.
Turn "OFF" the water supply to
the water heater at the water shut-
off valve or water meter. Some
installations require that the water
be turned off to the entire house,
see Figures 2 and 4.
3. Check again to make sure the gas supply is "OFF" to the water
heater. Then disconnect the gas supply connection from the gas
control valve.
• Burn hazard
• Hotwater discharge.
FIGURE 3.
FIGURE 4.
FIGURE 6.
If you have galvanized pipes to the water heater, loosen
the two galvanized pipes with a pipe wrench at the union
in each line. Also disconnect the piping remaining to the
water heater, see Figure 7. These pieces should be saved
since they may be needed when reconnecting the new water
heater. Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief valve
drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect
the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The
water heater is now completely disconnected and ready
to be removed. Mineral buildup or sediment may have
accumulated in the old water heater. This causes the water
heater to be much heavier than normal and this residue, if
spilled out, could cause staining.
° Keep hands clear of drain valve
discharge.

ACCESS
This appliance has been design certified as complying with
American National Standard/CSA Standard for water heaters
and is considered suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating: All models are considered suitable for
water (potable) heating,
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled
are at highest riskforscald injury.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available.
Read instruction manual for safe
temperature setting.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated
to a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes
washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald
and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are
more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others.
These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state
law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap,
then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the
lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a *Mixing Valve, should be used at
the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware
stores. Follow mixing valve manufacturer's instructions for
installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting
on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section
in this manual, see Figure 26.
FACTS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE LOCATION
This manufactured home gas-fired water heater is for use in a
manufactured home. You should carefully choose an indoor location
for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important
consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for
the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is
for use only in manufactured homes and is not intended for
outdoor installation.
The installation oftMs water heater must be within an enclosure
so as to separate the appliance combustion system and venting
system from the interior atmosphere of the manufactured home.
There shall not be any door, removable access panel, or other
opening into the enclosure from the inside of the manufactured
home.
such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be
installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your
local hardware store. Such a drain pan must have a minimum length
and width of at least 2 inches (51 mm) greater that the water heater
dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must
not restrict combustion air flow.
Water heater life depends upon water quality, water pressure and
the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water heaters
are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may result in
property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped to a drain.
However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or prevented by
a leak detector or water shut-off device used in conjunction with a
piped drain pan. These devices are available from some plumbing
supply wholesalers and retailers, and detect and react to leakage
in various ways:
Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in
a new location, the following critical points must be observed.
1. An enclosure with an exterior access door incorporating a single
opening positioned a maximum of 6 inches above the lower edge
of the access door and which may incorporate either 1/4 inch wire
mesh or louvers. When 1/4 inch wire mesh is used, the size of
the opening must be a minimum of 20 square inches. When the
louvers are used, the free area must be a minimum of 20 square
inches, see Figure 8 page 9.
2. An optional enclosure incorporating a solid exterior access door,
when a 5 inch or 8 inch diameter, or 20 square inch minimum
equivalent free air opening is located in the floor of the enclosure.
The opening must be covered by a 1/4 inch wire mesh, see Figure
8 page 9.
Install water heater into closet so as to have 0 inches minimum
clearance at sides and back. Clearance of 4 inches is needed to
front to accommodate the gas control valve, see Figure 9. Be sure
to allow adequate clearance for servicing the water heater and for
access to the piping and temperature-pressure relief valve.
The water heater should be secured to the floor and to the wall of the
enclosure with the mounting brackets provided. For bracket location
refer to "Securing Water Heater to Floor and Wall" in the "Installing
the New Water Heater" section.
When a manufactured home is skirted, an air intake opening with a
minimum free area of 32 square inches must be provided in the skirt.
Other gas fired appliances in the home will require additional free air
openings; consult these manufacturers for correct sizing.
If the opening is covered by louvers or screen, the total free area
must be 32 square inches.
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or turn off the
incoming water to the water heater when leakage is detected.
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply
to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.
• Water supply shut-off devices that activate based on the water
pressure differential between the cold water and hot water pipes
connected to the water heater.
• Devices that will turn off the gas supply to a gas water heater
while at the same time shutting off its water supply.
Fire or Explosion Hazard
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
• Avoid all ignition sources ifyou smell LP gas or natural gas.
• Do not expose water heater control to excessive gas
pressure.
• Use only gas shown on rating plate.
. Follow conversion instructions listed in manual when
converting to opposite gas.
• Maintain required clearances to combustibles.
° Keep ignition sources away from faucets after
extended period of non-use.
Read instruction manual before
installing, using or servicing
water heater.
Property Damage Hazard
• All water heaters eventually leak
° Do not install without adequate drainage.
Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a
manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow
will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not
advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When
INSTALLATIONS IN AREAS WHERE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
(VAPORS) ARE LIKELY TO BE PRESENT OR STORED
(GARAGES, STORAGE AND UTILITY AREAS, ETC.): Flammable
liquids (such as gasoline, solvents, propane [LP or butane, etc.] and
other substances such as adhesives, etc.) emit flammable vapors
which can be ignited by a gas water heater's pilot light or main burner.
The resulting flashback and fire can cause death or serious burns to
anyone in the area. Even though this water heater is a flammable
vapors ignition resistant water heater and is designed to reduce
the chances of flammable vapors being ignited, gasoline and other
flammable substances should never be stored or used in the same
vicinity or area containing a gas water heater or other open flame
or spark producing appliance.
