INSULATION BLANKETS
Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use
on gas water heaters are not necessary with your commercial water
heater. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby
heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters. Your
commercial water heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES 90.1b1992 standards with respect to insulation and standby loss
requirement making an insulation blanket unnecessary.
WARNING
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you
should follow these instructions. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in fire, asphyxiation, serious personal injury or death.
•
Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will
interfere with safe operation of the draft hood.
Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature &
•
pressure relief valve.
•
Do not allow insulation to come within 2" (51 mm) of the floor to
prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burner.
•Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the
water heater or nearby for future reference.
•Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from for placement
on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
•Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain it
does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY ON A
CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY RESULT. Instead the
water heater must be placed on a metal or wood panel extending
beyond the full width and depth by at least 3 inches (76 mm) in any
direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove or closet,
the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. Also, see the drain
requirements.
THIS HEATER SHALL BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED SO IT IS
NOT SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY A MOVING VEHICLE.
WARNING
FLAMMABLE ITEMS, PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS OR ANY
OTHER POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDOUS ARTICLES MUST
NEVER BE PLACED ON OR ADJACENT TO THE HEATER. OPEN
CONTAINERS OF FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE
STORED OR USED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE HEATER.
THE HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT
WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.
THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE
LEAKAGE FROM THE HEATER OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT AREA OR TO LOWER
FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE.
WHEN SUCH LOCATIONS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, A SUITABLE
DRAIN PAN SHOULD BE INSTALLED UNDER THE HEATER.
Such pans should be fabricated with sides at least 2" (51 mm)
deep, with length and width at least 2" (51 mm) greater than the
diameter of the heater and must be piped to an adequate drain.
The pan must not restrict combustion air flow.
Drain pans suitable for these heaters are available from your
distributor.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
REQUIRED ABILITY
INSTALLA TION OR SER VICE OF THIS WA TER HEA TER REQUIRES
ABILITY EQUIV ALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN
THE FIELD INVOL VED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPL Y, VENTING AND
GAS SUPPLY WORK ARE REQUIRED.
LOCATING THE HEATER
When installing the heater, consideration must be given to proper
location. Location selected should be as close to the stack or
chimney as practicable, with adequate air supply and as
centralized with the piping system as possible.
WARNING
THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH
AS GAS WATER HEATERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER
AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR
ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED,
OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY
AND TRA VEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MA Y BE IGNITED BY THE
HEATER’S PILOT OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR
EXPLOSION.
APPLIANCES IF INSTALLED 18 INCHES (457 mm) OR MORE
ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS MAY REDUCE THE RISK IF LOCATION
IN SUCH AN AREA CANNOT BE A VOIDED.
SOME LOCAL CODES PERMIT OPERA TION OF GAS
For appliance installation locations with elevations above
2000 feet (610 meters), refer to HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
section of this manual for input reduction procedure.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
INSTALLATIONS ABOVE 2000 FEET (610 METERS) REQUIRE
REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNER ORIFICE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH SECTION 8.1.2 OF THE NA TIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (ANSI
Z223.1). FOR CANADIAN INSTALLA TIONS CONSUL T CANADIAN
INSTALLATIONS CODES AND CAN/CSA B149.1-00. F AILURE TO
REPLACE THE ORIFICE WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER AND
INEFFICIENT OPERA TION OF THE APPLIANCE RESULTING IN
THE PRODUCTION OF INCREASED LEVELS OF CARBON
MONOXIDE GAS IN EXCESS OF SAFE LIMITS WHICH COULD
RESUL T IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJUR Y OR DEATH.
You should contact your gas supplier for any specific changes
which may be required in your area.
As elevation above sea level is increased, there is less oxygen
per cubic foot of air. Therefore, the heater input rate should be
reduced at high altitudes for satisfactory operation with the reduced
oxygen supply. Failure to make this reduction would result in an
overfiring of the heater causing sooting, poor combustion and/or
unsatisfactory heater performance.

U.S. REQUIREMENTS
Ratings specified by manufacturers for most appliances apply for
elevations up to 2000 feet (610 m). For elevations above 2000 feet
(610 m), ratings must be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1000
feet (305 m) above sea level. For example, if a heater is rated at
65,000 Btuh (19 Kw) at sea level, to rate the heater at 4000 feet
(1219 m), you subtract 4 (once for each thousand feet) x.04
(4% input reduction) x 65,000 (original rating) from the original
rating. Therefore, to calculate the input rating at 4,000 feet (1219
m): 4 x .04 x 65,000 = 10,400 Btuh (3.0 Kw), 65,000
(19 Kw) - 10,400 (3.0 Kw) = 54,600 Btuh (16 Kw). At 6000 feet
(1829 m) the correct input rating should be 49,400 Btuh (14.5 Kw).
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
Appliances with inputs up to and including 400,000 BTU
must be factory equipped with orifices for operation at specific
elevations. Standard (sea level) orifices permit operation up to
2000' (610 m) elevation. For operation between 2000' (610 m) and
4500' (1370 m) specify "HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION" when
ordering the heater(s). For operation above 4500' (2370 m) consult
factory before ordering.
Field conversion for operation at altitudes other than that
specified on the heater rating plate is not permitted.
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE
MA TERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES, V APORS AND
LIQUIDS.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION OR
VENTILA TING AIR.
WARNING
FOR SAFE OPERATION PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION. AN INSUFFICIENT SUPPL Y
OF AIR WILL CAUSE RECIRCULATION OF COMBUSTION
PRODUCTS RESULTING IN AIR CONT AMINA TION THA T MA Y BE
HAZARDOUS TO LIFE. SUCH A CONDITION OFTEN WILL
RESULT IN A YELLOW, LUMINOUS BURNER FLAME, CAUSING
CARBONING OR SOOTING OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER,
BURNERS AND FLUE TUBES AND CREATES A RISK OF
ASPHYXIATION.
Where an exhaust fan is supplied in the same room with a heater,
sufficient openings for air must be provided in the walls.
UNDERSIZED OPENINGS WILL CAUSE AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO
THE ROOM THROUGH THE CHIMNEY, CAUSING POOR
COMBUSTION. SOOTING MA Y RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE
TO THE HEA TER AND RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
UNCONFINED SPACE
The input reduction is primarily achieved by reducing the size of
the main burner orifices. To do this, the main burner orifices require
replacement with orifices sized for the particular installation
elevation. Contact your local gas supplier for further information.
Upon completion of derating of the heater, adjustment to the gas
pressure regulator may be required. See CHECKING THE INPUT
section in this manual for inlet and manifold pressure
requirements.
Also due to the input rating reduction required at high altitudes, the
output rating of the appliance is reduced and should be
compensated for in the sizing of the equipment for application.
CLEARANCES
These heaters are approved for installation on combustible flooring
in a closet having a ceiling 18" (457 mm) above top cover and with
clearances to combustible construction of 6" (152 mm) from flue
or vent connector, 1" (25 mm) at the sides and rear and
4" (102 mm) to front to prevent a possible fire hazard condition. A
minimum of 4" (101.6 mm) shall be allowed for installation of
serviceable parts.
HARD WATER
Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or the threshold
type of water treatment is recommended. This will protect the
dishwashers, coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other
equipment.
Contact your dealer or qualified service technician for more
information on this product.
In buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction,
unconfined spaces may provide adequate air for combustion,
ventilation and draft hood dilution.
If the unconfined space is within a building of tight construction
(buildings using the following construction: weather stripping, heavy
insulation, caulking, vapor barrier, etc.), air for combustion,
ventilation and draft hood dilution must be obtained from outdoors.
The installation instructions for confined spaces in tightly
constructed buildings must be followed to ensure adequate air
supply.
CONFINED SPACE
When drawing combustion and dilution air from inside a
conventionally constructed building to a confined space, such a
space shall be provided with two permanent openings, ONE IN
OR WITHIN 12 INCHES (30.50 cm) OF THE ENCLOSURE TOP
AND ONE IN OR WITHIN 12 INCHES (30.50 cm) OF THE
ENCLOSURE BOTTOM. Each opening shall have a free area of at
least one square inch per 1000 Btuh (2202.8 mm
input of all appliances in the enclosure, but not less than
100 square inches (645 cm2).
If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for
combustion, ventilation, and draft hood dilution must be obtained
from outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors or
communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, two
permanent openings, located in the above manner, shall be
provided. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than one
square inch per 4000 Btuh (550.7 mm
appliances in the enclosure. If horizontal ducts are used, each
