To meet commercial water use needs, the thermostat on this water
heater is adjustable up to 180°F. However, water temperatures over
125°F. can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds. This
is the preferred starting point for setting the control for supplying
general purpose hot water.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when
setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy
efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the
lowest that satisfies the needs consistent with the application.
The following chart details the relationship of water temperature
and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in
determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

FLAMMABLES
Flammable Vapors
Vapors from flammable
liquids will explode and
catch fire causing death or
severe burns.
Do not use or store flammable
products such as gasoline,
solvents or adhesives in the
same room or area near the
water heater.
Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater,
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of children's reach.
Water heater has a main
burner and pilot flame.
The pilot flame:
1. which can come on at
any time and
2. will ignite flammable
vapors.
Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the
floor and
4. can be carried from
other rooms to the pilot
flame by air currents.
Installation:
Do not install water heater
where flammable products will
be stored or used unless the
main burner and pilot flames
are at least 18" above the
floor. This will reduce, but not
eliminate, the risk of vapors
being ignited by the main
burner or pilot flame.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If owners
manual is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Be sure to read and understand the entire Use & Care Manual before attempting to install or operate this water heater. Pay par ticular attention
to the following General Safety Precautions. Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion, causing proper ty damage, bodily
injur y or death . Should you have any problems understanding the instructions in this manual, STOP, and get help from a qualified installer or
ser vice technician or the gas supplier.
Gasoline, as well as other flammable materials and liquids
(adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce,
are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle, use or store
gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials any-
where near or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure to
read and follow the warning label pictured below and other
labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings printed
in this manual. Failure to do so can result in property dam-
age, bodily injury, or death.
Failure to properly vent the water heater to the outdoors
as outlined in the Venting Section of this manual can result
in unsafe operation of the water heater. To avoid the risk
of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide,
never operate this water heater unless it is properly vented
and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be
sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at
initial start-up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to
Maintenance section of this manual for more information
regarding vent system inspections.
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS — Propane, or LP gas,
must be used with great caution.
• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas
making it hard to detect at nose level.
•
Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before
attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to
check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a
connection indicates a leak that must be corrected.
When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used
to detect leaks in LP applications.
IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself;
• DO NOT try to light any appliance;
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch;
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Leave the house immediately and make sure your family and pets leave also.
• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the
gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire
department.
• Keep the area clear until the service call has been
made, the leak is corrected, and a qualified agency has
determined the area to be safe.
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help
detection. Some people may not physically be able to
smell or recognize this odorant. If unsure or unfamiliar
about the smell associated with LP or natural gas, ask the
gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "Odorant Fade",
which causes the odorant to "fade", or diminish in intensity can also hide or camouflage a gas leak.
Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are
different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will
not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. No attempt
should ever be made to convert a heater from natural gas
to LP gas. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal
injury or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel
type not in accordance with unit data plate. Propane for
propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certified for any other type fuel.
LP appliances should not be installed below-grade (for
example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibited
by federal, state and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.

Introduction
WARNING
!
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
Read and Review this entire Manual with special emphasis
on the Venting Sections (Pages 8-12) and Operation Section
(Pages 14-17) prior to any installation work.
LOCAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions,
local codes, utility company requirements and/or, in the absence of local
codes, the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 in
the United States, or CGA/CAN B149 Installation Codes in Canada.
LOCATION
A. This water heater is of the direct vent design. All air for combustion
and all products of combustion are routed through the venting system,
directly from and to the outside of the building.
The water heater should be installed in a clean, dry location as close
as practical to the gas vent terminals. Long hot water lines should be
insulated to conser ve water and energy. The water heater and water
lines should be protected from exposure to freezing temperatures.
B. A gas fired water heater should not be installed in a space where liquids
which give off flammable vapors are to be used or stored. Such liquids
include gasoline, LP gas (butane and propane), paint or adhesives and
their thinners, solvents or removers. Because of natural air movement
in a room or other enclosed space, flammable vapors can be carried
some distance from where their liquids are being used or stored. The
open flame of the water heater’s intermittent pilot or main burner can
ignite these vapors causing an explosion or fire which may result in
severe burns or death to those in range, as well as proper ty damage.
For these reasons, installation of a gas fired water heater in a garage
is not desirable.
If a location in a garage is the only alternative, the gas water heater
should be installed so that the open flame of the pilot and main
burner are no less than 18 inches above the garage floor. The water
heater must be located or protected so it is not subject to physical
damage by moving vehicles or area flooding. Raising the gas fired
water heater will reduce BUT NOT eliminate the possibility of lighting the vapor of any flammable liquids which may be improperly
stored or accidentally spilled.
C. All models are cer tified for installation on combustible floors and in
alcoves. The minimum side and top clearance to walls and ceiling for
providing protection of combustible materials are shown on the water
heater’s rating label. A front clearance of 18 inches (46 cm) should be
provided for adequate inspection and servicing.
If the water heater must be installed on carpeting, place a metal or
wood panel beneath water heater extending beyond its full width and
depth at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) in all directions. If the water heater is
installed in an alcove, the entire floor must be covered by the panel.
The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage of
the tank or connections will result in damage to the area adjacent
to it or to lower floors of the structure. When such areas cannot be
avoided, it is recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the water heater. The pan MUST NOT
restrict the flow of combustion air flow to bottom of water heater.
NOTICE: Auxiliary catch pan installation MUST conform to the ap -
plicable local codes.
D. RESTAURANTS — If the water heater is to be installed in a restau-
rant or other location where the floor is frequently cleaned, it must be
elevated to provide at least six inches (15 cm) of clearance from the
floor to comply with NSF International recommendations.
E. CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES — The heater should not be installed
near an air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons. For example,
the air in beauty shops, dry cleaning establishments, photo processing
labs, and storage areas for liquid and powdered bleaches or swim pool
chemicals often contain such hydrocarbons. The air there may be safe
to breathe, but when it passes through a gas flame, corrosive elements
are released that will shorten the life of any gas burning appliance.
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from refrigeration
equipment are highly corrosive after passing through a flame. The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is due to a corrosive
atmosphere. (Refer to the Certificate of Limited Warranty for complete
terms and conditions.)

Installation
WARNING
!
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect
caused by installation, or attachment, or use of any special attachment such as energy saving devices (other than those authorized
by the manufacturer) into, onto, or in conjunction with the water
heater. The use of such unauthorized devices may shorten the
life of the water heater and may endanger life and property. The
manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such loss or injury
resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices.
1. INSPECT SHIPMENT — for possible damage. The manufacturer’s
responsibility ceases upon delivery of goods to the carrier in good
condition. Any claims for damage, shortage in shipments, or non delivery must be filed immediately against carrier by consignee.
2. THERMAL EXPANSION — Determine if a check valve exists in the
inlet water line. It may have been installed in the cold water line as a
separate back flow preventer, or it may be part of a pressure reducing valve, water meter or water softener. A check valve located in
the cold water inlet line can cause what is referred to as a ”closed
water system”. A cold water inlet line with no check valve or back
flow prevention device is referred to as an ”open” water system.
As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an increase
in the pressure within the water system. This action is referred to as
”ther mal expansion”. In an ”open” water system, expanding water
which exceeds the capacity of the water heater flows back into the
city main where the pressure is easily dissipated.
A ”closed water system”, however, prevents the expanding water
from flowing back into the main supply line, and the result of ”thermal
expansion” can create a rapid, and dangerous pressure increase in
the water heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase can
quickly reach the safety setting of the relief valve, causing it to operate during each heating cycle. Thermal expansion, and the resulting
rapid, and repeated expansion and contraction of components in the
water heater and piping system can cause premature failure of the
relief valve, and possibly the heater itself. Replacing the relief valve
will not correct the problem!
The suggested method of controlling thermal expansion is to install an
expansion tank in the cold water line between the water heater and the
check valve. The expansion tank is designed with an air cushion built in
that compresses as the system pressure increases, thereby relieving
the over pressure condition and eliminating the repeated operation of
the relief valve. Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are also
available. Contact your installing contractor, water supplier, or plumbing
inspector for additional information regarding this subject.
If a recirculation line is installed, the return connection should be made
to a tee close to the inlet connection on the water heater. A check valve
should always be installed in the recirculation line to prevent cold water
from entering.
WATER CONNECTIONS — This water heater may be connected indi-
vidually, in multiples with others, or with an external hot water storage
tank.
Inlet water connections are made to the lower coupling on the heater,
and outlet water connections are made to the upper coupling.
Each water heater is supplied with the necessary components (Diffuser
tubes) to make the water connections that will ensure proper performance. The components are supplied in a bag attached to the water
heater. If special instructions are required for any specific water heater,
they will be included in the bag.
Cap or plug unused connections. Use only clean, new galvanized steel,
copper or approved plastic pipe for water connections. Local codes
or regulations shall govern the exact type of material to be used. The
installation of unions on the inlet and outlet water lines and a shut-off
valve in at least the cold water inlet line is recommended, so the water
heater may be easily disconnected for servicing. Dielectric unions are
not required for protection of water heater.
When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water require-
ments for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve
is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed
plumber or the local plumbing authority for fur ther information.
Thermometer(s) should be installed so that they indicate the tempera-
ture of the water at or near the outlet of the water heater and storage
tank(s) if provided. See Fig. 4 on page 7.
3. RELIEF VALVE — A new factory installed combination pressure and
temperature relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief Valves
and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems,
ANSI Z21.22, or Standard CAN1-4.4, Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves is provided
with the water heater. No valve is to be placed between the relief valve
and the water heater. For a circulating tank installation, the separate
storage tank(s) must have similar protection. The pressure rating of the
relief valve must not exceed 150 psi (160 psi for ASME models), the
maximum working pressure as marked on front of the water heater.
The Btu/h rating of the relief valve must equal or exceed the Btu/h input
of the water heater as marked on its rating plate.
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open drain. The
discharge line must pitch downward from the valve to allow complete
draining (by gravity) of the relief valve and discharge line, and be no
smaller than the outlet of the valve. The end of the discharge line
should not be threaded or concealed and should be protected from
freezing. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling should be
installed in the discharge line. Local codes shall govern the installation
of relief valves.
4. GAS SUPPLY — The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not
exceed 10.5” w.c. (2.6 kPa) for Natural gas. For purposes of input adjustment, the minimum inlet gas pressure (with main burner on) is shown on
the rating plate. Check to see if high or low gas pressure is present and
then contact the gas company for correction.
The gas line should be of adequate size to prevent undue pressure
drop. Sizing based upon Table 1 (on pg. 13) is recommended. No additional allowance is necessary for an ordinary number of fittings.
A ground joint union and manual shutoff valve should be installed in
the gas line near the water heater so that the burner assembly may
be easily removed. The shut-off valve must be readily accessible for
turning on or off. See Fig. 4 on page 7.
A sediment trap must be installed at the bottom of the gas line. See
Fig. 4 on page 7.
LEAK TESTING — The water heater and its gas connections MUST
be leak tested at normal operating pressure before it is placed in operation. Turn ON the manual gas shut-off valve near the water heater.
Use a soapy water solution to test for gas leaks at all connections and
fittings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected. The water
heater factory connections to the gas valve should also be leak tested
after placing the water heater in operation.

PRESSURE TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM — The water
heater and its manual gas shut-off valve MUST be dis connect ed from the gas supply piping system during any h ig h pressure
testing o f t h a t sy s t e m at pr e s s u r e s i n exc ess o f 1/ 2 ps i

The water heater MUST be isolat ed from the gas piping system
by closing the manual gas shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at pressures equal to or les s than
1/2 psi (14” w.c. / 3.5 kPa).
5. VENTING —
The water heater must be vented to the outdoors as described
in these instructions. DO NOT connect this water heater to an
existing Vent or Chimney it must be vented separately from all
other appliances.
The unit may be vented horizontally through a wall or vertically through
the roof. Pipe runs must be adequately supported along both vertical
and horizontal runs. Maximum unsupported span is recommended to
be no more than 4 feet. It is imperative that the first hanger be located
on the horizontal run immediately adjacent to the first 90-degree elbow
from the vertical rise or at the blower outlet in the case of a horizontal
blower position. Support method used should isolate the vent pipe from
floor joists or other structural members to help prevent the transmission
of noise and vibration. Do not support, pin or otherwise secure the venting system in a way that restricts the normal thermal expansion and
contraction of the chosen venting material.
If the water heater is being installed as a replacement for an existing
power vented water heater, a thorough inspection of the existing venting
system must be performed prior to any installation work. Verify that the
correct materials, as detailed above have been used, and that the minimum or maximum vent length and terminal locations as detailed in this
manual have been met. Carefully inspect the entire venting system for
any signs of cracks or fractures, particularly at the joints between elbows
or other fittings and the straight runs of vent pipe. Check the system for
signs of sagging or other stresses in the joints as a result of misalignment
of any components in the system. If any of these conditions are found,
they must be corrected in accordance with the venting instructions in this
manual before completing the installation and putting the water heater
into service.
VENT PIPE CONNECTION —
Failure to properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as outlined
above and in the following section can result in unsafe operation of
the water heater causing bodily injury, explosion, fire or death.
To avoid the risk of fire, explosion or asphyxiation from carbon
monoxide, NEVER operate this water heater unless it is properly
vented and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. The
vent pipe must overlap a minimum of ½" on each connection. It is
important that the vent pipe engages fully into any pipe fitting and
be kept in that position until the adhesive has fully cured. DO NOT
drill or punch holes in the plastic pipe or fittings.
NOTI C E : This unit can be ven t e d u s ing only the fo l l owin g
recommended pipe material. Use only 3- or 4-inch diameter pipe.
The blower assembly is preinstalled at the factory, so all that is required
for connecting the vent system is attaching the vent pipe to the blower
and the PVC Tee. Before starting the vent installation, careful planning
should be given to the routing and termination of the vent pipe. The length
of the vent pipe (inlet and outlet) should be kept to a minimum. Also, see
page 10 & 12 for vent terminal placement. The GP100-150 & GP100-200
model can be vented using either 3 inch or 4 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe
and fittings.
To use 3 inch PVC, you can connect directly to the blower outlet (rubber
coupling provided for outlet connection) and PVC Tee. Make sure that
clamps on rubber coupling are tight, after the pipe is installed. The inlet
vent pipe should be cemented into the PVC Tee.
If 4 inch PVC pipe is going to be used, then it will be necessary to have
a short piece ( at least 3 inches long ) of 3 inch PVC pipe to join into the
coupling and tee. Then a 4 X 3 reducer would need to be joined to the
short piece of pipe, so that the 4 inch pipe could be used. The 4 inch pipe
will then need to be stepped back down, using a 4 X 3 reducer, to 3 inch
PVC. To install the vent terminals, a short length of 3 inch (maximum of
16 inches long) pipe will need to be used. (Refer to Figure 9b on page
10.)
The GP100-250 model can only be vented using 4 inch Schedule 40 PVC
pipe and fittings. The 4 inch pipe can be connected directly to the blower
coupling and 4 inch tee.

3. Do Not ter minate vent pipe directly on brick or masonry
surfaces. Use a rust-resistant sheet metal backing plate
behind vent. (See Figure 9.)
4. Do Not locate vent terminal too close to shrubbery,
since flue gases may damage them.
5. Caulk all cracks, seams and joints within six (6) feet of
vent terminal.
6. All painted surfaces should be primed to lessen the
chance of physical damage. Painted surfaces will require
maintenance.
7. Insulate vent pipe exposed to cold conditions (attics,
crawl spaces, etc.) to help prevent moisture from accumulating in vent pipe.
Moisture in the flue gas will condense as it leaves the
vent terminal. In cold w eather this condensate can
freeze on the exterior wall, under the eaves and on
sur rou n di n g o bj e ct s . So me dis co l or a ti o n t o t he
exterior of the building is to be expect ed. However,
impro p e r lo c a t i o n or installation can result in severe damage to the structure or exterior finish of the
building.

VERTIC AL VENT INSTALLATION – Once the vent ter mi-
nal location has been d eter mined, make a hole thr ough the
roof and interior ceiling to accommodate the vent pipe. Complete the vent pipe in stallat ion to the water hea ter ’s vent
conne cto r fittin g on the blow er outlet. Suppor t ver t ica l or
horizontal runs as previously mentioned.
Install adequate flashing where the vent pipe passes through the
roof. Determine the vent terminal height and cut vent pipe accordingly. Refer to Fig. 8 for proper vent terminal height. Connect
vent elbow onto ver tical pipe through roof. Connect short piece
of vent pipe (approximately 3" long) to elbow, then join ter minal
to the short piece of vent pipe.
VERTICAL VENT TERMINAL LOCATION – The location of
vertical vent terminal depends on the following considerations
(see Figure 8):
3. M aximu m twe n ty-four (24) inches above roof level without
additional support for vent pipe.
4. Four (4) feet from any gable, dormer or other roof structure with
building interior access (i.e., vent, window, etc.).
5. Ten (10) feet fro m any forced ai r inlet to th e bui l ding . Any
fres h o r make-up a ir inlet such as a dryer or furna ce area is
considered to be a forced air inlet.
6. The inlet is a minimum of six (6) inches vertically above the outlet.
7. Terminals are a minimum of seven (7) inches horizontally apart with
a maximum of twenty-four (24) inches.

DR A I NI N G T H E CON D E NS ATE – In ce r ta i n co nd i t io n s ,
installations in unconditioned space or having long horizontal or vertical
runs may accumulate condensate. In order to prevent condensate from
draining back into the blower, we recommend that it be drained. This
unit is provided with a special fitting on the blower that allows for the
draining of condensate formed in the vent. The drain hose should have
two (2) loops formed, to act as traps. Before operation of the water
heater, both loops should have water placed in them. Support the traps
so that they remain horizontal. Condensate is known to be acidic; refer
to local, state or federal codes for proper handling methods.
Figure 10 - Draining the Condensate
JOINING PIPES AND FITTIN GS – All pipe, fittings, solvent
cemen t, pr i mers and pro cedu res mus t conform to Amer ican Nati onal Standar ds Inst itute and Ameri can Soci ety for
Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards.
CEMEN TIN G JOI NTS – Al l joint s in the vent pip ing must
be properly sealed and we recommend using the following material:
PVC materials should use ASTM D-2564 grade cement.
CPVC materials should use ASTM F-493 grade cement.
ABS materials should use ASTM D-2235 grade cement.
Cleaner-Primer and Medium Body Solvent Cement
1. Cut pipe end square, remove jagged edges and burrs. Cham
fer end of pipe, then clean fitting socket and pipe joint area
of all dir t, grease or moisture.
2. Af t e r c h e cking pi p e a n d socke t for p r o p e r f i t, wipe
socket and pipe with cleaner-primer. Apply a liberal coat of
primer to inside surface of socket and outside of pipe. Do not
allow primer to dry before applying cement.
3. Apply a thin coat of cement evenly in the socket. Quickly
apply a heavy co at of cem ent to the pi pe end and in sert pipe into fitting with a slight twi sting motio n until it
bottoms out.
NOTICE: Cement must be fluid; if not, recoat.
4. Hold the pipe fitting for 30 seconds to prevent the tapered
socket from pushing the pipe out of the fitting.
5. Wipe all excess cement from the joint with a rag. Allow 15
minutes before handling. Cure time will vary according to fit,
temperature and humidity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A. Do turn off manual gas shut-off valve if water heater has been sub-
jected to over heating, fire, flood, physical damage or if gas supply
fails to shut off.
B. Do Not turn on water heater unless it is filled with water.
C. Do Not turn on water heater if cold water supply shut-off valve is
closed.
D. Do Not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids,
such as adhesives or paint thinner, in vicinity of this or any other
appliance. If such flammables must be used, open doors and windows for ventilation, and all gas burning appliances in vicinity should
be shut off, including their pilot lights, to avoid vapors igniting.
NOTICE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from sur-
rounding areas to the water heater.
2. TEMPERATURE SETTINGS — The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest
temperature position when shipped from the factory. To meet commercial water use needs, it is adjustable up to 180°F (82°C). However, water temperatures over 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds. This is the preferred starting point for
setting the control for supplying general purpose hot water.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when
setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest
that satisfies the needs consistent with the application.
Hotter water increases the Potential for Hot Water SCALDS.
E. Do not allow combustible materials such as newspaper, rags or
mops to accumulate near water heater.
F. If there is any difficulty in understanding or following the OPERA-
TION or MAINTENANCE instructions, it is recommended that a
qualified person or serviceman perform the work.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by
this water heater that has not been used for a long period of time
(generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY
FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to reduce risk of injury,
it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several
minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance
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. Do not smoke or use an
open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water
requirements for individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing
valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for
further information.
Outlet water temperature will vary during normal operating cycles. Reli-
able temperature readings should be taken shortly after main burner
cycles off during a period of little or no use.
3. GAS MANIFOLD PRESSURE — With the gas valve supplied with this
water heater, main burner ignition occurs at a low or step manifold
pressure, which will then automatically build up to its normal operating level . The rated operating manifold pressure is listed on the water
heater rating plate. For purposes of input adjustment, the minimum inlet
gas pressure(with main burner on) is also shown on the rating plate.
A 1/8” NPT tapping is provided on the outlet side of the gas valve for
connecting a manometer to check this pressure. If necessary, adjust
the pressure to the proper value by turning regulator adjustment screw
clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight
screwdriver into slotted screw in hole in front of ther-
mostat and turn wheel to desired setting. Thermostat
is adjustable up to 180º F.
CAUTION!! - Hotter water increases the risk of SCALDING!
4. CHECK INPUT — Consult the local Gas Company to determine the
heating value of the gas supplied. Check input by clocking gas meter with
all other gas appliances turned off. Use the following formula:
INPUT (btu/h) =
(3,600) x (Heating Value) x (Number of Cubic Feet Timed)
Seconds Clocked
DO NOT exceed Input shown on the water heater's rating plate!

WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
WARNING
!
To insure accuracy for rating, clock enough cubic feet of gas so that
the clocked time is at least 60 seconds.
Small adjustments can be made by varying the manifold pressure from
the designated settings mentioned above.
5. INTERMITTENT PILOT FLAME ADJUSTMENT — No adjustment is
required with normal inlet gas pressures. The pilot flame adjustment
valve is pre-set, and does not normally require re-adjustment.
6. HIGH ALTITUDE — Ratings of gas appliances are based on installation
and operation at sea level of elevations of 2000 feet.
Factory prepared high altitude models are available and are specifically
rated for installation at elevation up to 8000 feet. Refer to rating plate
on the front of the water heater for number and altitude specifications.
Also refer to the supplement sheet for information on venting high
altitude models.
Maintenance
Properly maintained, this water heater will provide years of dependable,
trouble free service. It is strongly suggested that a regular routine maintenance program be established and followed by the owner. It is fur ther
recommended that a periodic inspection of the blower, thermostat, burner,
relief valve, internal flueway, draft hood / damper assembly and venting
system should be made by service technicians qualified in gas appliance
repair.
1. ROUTINE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
A. BURNERS — Visually inspect the main burner flame and the pilot flame
at least ever y three months. Refer to Figures 12 and 13 for normal
flame pattern. Fallen scale can usually be dislodged from the tops of
the burners with a thin rod, then vacuumed or brushed from the bottom
of the burner box. If a more thorough cleaning is deemed necessary
to restore a normal flame pattern, the burner tray assembly should be
removed and the burners cleaned individually.
7. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN —
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off
the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
DO NOT use this appliance if any part has been under water. Imme
diately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
If the water heater has been subjected to fire or physical damage, turn
off gas at the manual gas control (shut-off) valve. Do not operate the
water heater again until it has been checked out by a qualified service
technician.
TO REMOVE BURNER TRAY:
1. Turn off manual gas shut-off valve.
2. Disconnect gas pipe union and wiring to gas valve and pilot.
3. Remove retaining screws from plate on the same side as the gas
valve.
4. Slide burner tray assembly out. When reinstalling the bur ner tray
assembly, make certain it is pushed in all the way so that the plate
lines up with the holes in the plenum side. Then reinstall the retaining screws.
5. Reconnect gas pipe union and wiring to gas valve and pilot, turn
on manual gas shut-off valve and test for gas leak.
B. VENTING SYSTEM — Inspect venting system at least yearly to make
certain the passageways are free and unobstructed, and that the vent
connector from the water heater’s blower assembly is properly positioned and securely attached. Remove any obstructions in vent connector or vent terminal.
-
Figure 12. — Pilot Flame Pattern
For your safety, removal and cleaning of burner tray and individual
burners should be performed ONLY by a qualified service techni
cian, as it involves disconnection of gas piping and leak testing.
C. CONTROLS — The manifold pressure and controls should be checked
at least yearly by a qualified service technician.

Maintenance
DANGER
!
CAUTION
!
D. BLOWER — Clean the blower periodically to remove any buildup of
lint or dirt. Remove the inlet plate and blow out any lint or dirt on the
wheel and on the screen of the inlet plate. Before operation, re-install
the inlet plate to the blower.
E. PRESSURE SWITCH — Inspect the inlet to the pressure switch and
the tubing for debris or blockage. Clean out the tubing periodically to
prevent buildup of debris.
F. EMERGENCY CUT-OFF — This water heater is equipped with a com-
bination thermostat/temperature limiting device (ECO) that should be
checked annually by qualified service personnel.
G. THERMAL CUTOFF SWITCH — Some units are equipped with a
thermal cutoff switch which will shut down the unit if the flue gas temperature is above permissible limits. The switch is a manual reset
type.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING!
G. RELIEF VALVE — The Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve must
be free to operate properly. Check (at least once a year) by lifting the
handle fully and allowing several gallons of water to flush through the
discharge line. Make cer tain the discharged water is directed to a
suitable drain.
Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no one
will be exposed to the danger of coming in contact with the hot
water released by this valve. The water may be hot enough to create a SCALD hazard. The water released should be directed to a
suitable drain to prevent injury or damage.
NOTICE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the water
heater discharges periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion
in a “closed” water system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing
inspector on how to correct this. DO NOT plug the relief valve outlet.
H. TANK— Good maintenance requires that the tank be cleaned of de-
posits. Unless the water supply is soft (0 to 5 grains hardness), scale
or lime deposits will accumulate in the tank. Hard water scale is deposited at an increasingly high rate in proportion to increased water
temperature. Accumulation of these deposits may reduce efficiency,
and shor ten the life of the water heater.
A wet-dry shop vac with a nozzle fashioned from 1” and/or 3/4” poly
ethylene pipe makes a good tool for scraping and removing scale.
TO CLEAN OR INSPECT TANK:
1. Shut off gas valve and drain tank.
2. Remove tank clean-out cover on jacket and with pocket knife cut
and remove a circular plug of insulation the full size of jacket opening.
3. Loosen nut on seal plate assembly enough to twist yoke sideways.
Hold assembly securely and push inward, then remove from tank.
4. Remove as much built-up scale from flue tubes and tank bottom as
practical. Do not attempt to clean so thoroughly that the tool used
damages the glass lining.
5. Clean the seal plate and install a new gasket. Wipe clean the interior surface of the tank that contacts the gasket. Reinstall the seal
plate and tighten in position. Fill tank with water and check for leaks.
If no leaks are found, install insulation plug and clean-out cover on
jacket and re-light the water heater.
If chemical lime dissolving cleaners are preferred, cautiously follow
the instructions supplied with the cleaner. DO NOT use a muriatic or
hydrochloric acid (HCl) base cleaner.
2. ANODE INSPECTION — The water supply in certain areas contains
very aggressive elements. In these areas, periodic inspection of the
anode is recommended to determine if replacement is necessary. The
anode(s) supplied in this water heater is slowly consumed , thereby
eliminating or minimizing corrosion and protecting the glass lined tank.
The anode(s) should be replaced when more than 6 inches (15 cm) of
core wire is exposed at either end.
3. SEASONAL OPERATION — If the water heater is to remain idle for an
extended period (60 days or more) the heater should be turned off. The
water heater and piping should be drained if they might be subjected
to freezing temperatures. It is recommended that the water heater’s
operation is thoroughly checked (by a qualified service technician)
before it is placed back in service. NOTICE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas
caution notation on page 16.
-
Any new installation should have a tank inspection program set up
initially for frequent inspection. The first inspection should be within a
six month period. Once the scaling tendencies have been established,
the inspection program can be modified to suit the water conditions.
Cleaning should be performed if the scale has accumulated above the
drain valve opening.
