INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
1. Condensate Drain – This is a fully condensing water heater and should be located near a drain to permit proper disposal of condensate.
2. Vent Termination – Exhaust gases of this water heater are less than 140° F. In cold climates, water vapor in flue gases will condense into
a cloud of vapor where the vent exits the building. This vapor can gradually discolor exterior building surfaces. Vent termination should
be located where this vapor cloud and potential discoloration are not a concern. Locating vent termination 6˝ or more from the wall
helps vapor from being trapped along a building’s face. To avoid this problem, the vent can be terminated on the roof. Always locate vent
termination above the maximum snowline, and do not locate vent termination above a walkway.
3. Air Intake – In cold climates, air intake should be located at least three feet from the vent termination of the water heater and any other
appliance vents that discharge moisture-laden air (such as clothes dryers). This will help prevent freeze-over of the intake screen required
to prevent foreign objects from entering the intake pipe. Air intake should be located above the maximum snowline.
4. Blockage Sensors – The water heater is equipped with sensors to shut it down if blockage of vent or air intake occurs. The heater’s
diagnostic panel will alert service technicians to this problem.
5. Noise – Vent terminal should be located away from bedroom windows or other areas where blower noise will be objectionable. Avoid
venting into corners or confined areas, which will amplify sound. Anchoring intake or vent pipe walls or ceilings can cause noise to be
transmitted to living areas, and isolation mounts should be used where anchoring is required.
Gas water heater(s) shall be State Ultra Force™ Model ________________, with a storage capacity of ____ gallons, an input
rating of ___________________BTU/hr., a recovery rating of ____ GPH at 100º F temperature rise, and thermal efficiency of____%. Heater(s) shall
meet ASHRAE/IES 90.1- Current standard requirements for thermal efficiency and standby loss, and meet SCAQMD R1146.2 low-NOx requirements.
In addition, heater(s) shall: 1) Have a power burner that requires no special calibrations on start-up. 2) Have seamless glass-lined tank construction in
which the glass coating is applied to the water side surfaces of the tank after the tank has been assembled and welded. 3) Have a condensing flue coil that is
coated on the flue gas side with acid-resistant glass lining designed for use in condensing heaters. 4) Have a control system that includes an integrated
solid-state temperature and ignition control device with integral diagnostics, LCD fault display capability and a digital display of temperature settings. 5) Be
equipped with an ASME rated temperature and pressure relief valve. 6) Be approved for 0˝ clearance to combustibles. 7) Heater shall be supplied with
maintenance-free powered anode.
120K-250K BTU Input:
For Standard Venting: Water heater(s) shall be suitable for venting using (3˝ or 4˝) diameter PVC pipe for a maximum total equivalent distance of (50´or 120´).
For Sealed Combustion Direct-Venting: The heater(s) shall be suitable for sealed combustion direct-venting using (3˝ or 4˝) diameter PVC pipe for
separate air intake and vent runs, with a maximum total equivalent distance of (50´or 120´) for each run.
300K-400K BTU Input:
For Standard Venting: Water heater(s) shall be suitable for venting using 4˝ diameter PVC pipe for a maximum total equivalent distance of 70.´
For Sealed Combustion Direct-Venting: The heater(s) shall be suitable for sealed combustion direct-venting using 4˝ diameter PVC pipe for separate
air intake and vent runs, with a maximum total equivalent distance of 70´ for each run.
