California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.
INSTALLATION
Locating The Water Heater
WARNING
Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or
injury, do not store materials against the water heater or vent-air intake
system. Use proper care to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by
children) with the water heater and vent-air intake components. UNDER
NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS
GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE USED OR STORED IN THE
VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER, VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE
WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM.
DO NOT install the water heater in any location where gasoline or
flammable vapors are likely to be present.
Water heaters in residential garages must be installed and located, or
protected, to avoid physical damage. For other installations refer to local
codes. In the absence of local codes, the water heater must be installed in
compliance with the National Fuel Gas Code, (ANSI Z223.1- Latest
Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code
(Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code (Latest
Edition).

Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
The location of this water heater is of the utmost importance. Before installing
this water heater, read the installation section of these instructions. After
reading these installation and operating instructions, select a location for the
water heater where the floor is level and is easily accessible to gas and water
supply lines. DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be
subjected to freezing temperatures. Make sure the cold water pipes are
not located directly above the gas control so that condensate during
humid weather does not drip on the controls.
Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating
and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some typical
compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can propellants, cleaning
solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool
chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals. These
materials are corrosive at very low concentration levels with little or no odor to
reveal their presence. NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED
BY EXPOSURE TO CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE HAS
OR WILL OCCUR. DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE
COMPOUNDS IN THE VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.
To comply w ith NSF requirements this w ater heater is to be:
a) Sealed to the floor w ith sealant, in a smooth and easily cleanable
w ay, or
b) Installed w ith an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or
extensions that provide a minimum clearance of 6’’ beneath the
w ater heater.
WARNING
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gases are heavier than air and
will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces,
closets, and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for
accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the
appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in
your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS
CORRECTED!
6
Installation (Locating The Water Heater) continued-
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE
NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
• Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an
odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in the detection of the
gas.
• Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg” smell.
• Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the odorant to
diminish in intensity, or “fade”, and not be as readily detectable.
• If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way unsure of
the presence of gas, immediately contact your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s telephone.
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier, or plumbing
professional, for more information.
The water heater must be located close enough to the outside wall to keep the
venting distance within the maximum distance described in the installation
instructions. Locate the water heater as close as possible to the vent opening.
Read the venting section in this installation instruction manual before locating
the water heater.
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank or water
line connections and the combination temperature and pressure relief valve 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 avoided, a suitable drain pan
adequately piped for proper drainage must be installed under the water heater.
The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. The drain pan must have a
minimum length and width of at least 4 in. (10.2 cm) greater than the diameter
of the water heater and must not restrict proper combustion air flow to the water
heater. The drain pan, as described above, can be purchased from your
plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. The
piping must be at least 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) in diameter and pitched for proper
drainage.
It is recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4) inches (10.2 cm) be
provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve.
This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and weather.
Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced,
anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake. See
instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be
obtained from the DSA Headquarters Office: 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100,

Venting System Condensation
Condensate formation does not occur in all installations of pow er vented
w ater heaters, but should be protected against on installations w here
condensation can form in the venting system.
Formation of condensation in the venting system of Pow er Vented w ater
heaters is dependent upon installation conditions including, but not limited
to:
ambient temperature and humidity of installation location;
ambient temperature and humidity of venting space;
vent distance and slope;
and product usage.
In order to effectively control condensate from adversely affecting the
mechanical components of the w ater heater several methods may be
employed:
1. For horizontal installations the vent pipe can be installed w ith a
dow nw ard slope (not less than 1/8" (3 cm)) and aw ay from the
blow er.
2. In order to prevent condensate from draining back into the blow er
(vertical or horizontal runs), an optional condensate kit is available
as a service part (Condensate kit, p/n 239-45875-00). A factory
supplied exhaust adapter w ith drain outlet mounts directly to the
blow er outlet and is secured w ith tw o hose clamps, one to the
blow er and the other to the vent pipe. Tubing is provided to drain
any accumulated condensate aw ay from the w ater heater and to a
suitable drain. The kit comes complete w ith instructions for proper
installation.
Venting Specifications for:
40 Gallon (151.4 L)
50 Gallon (189.2 L)
This w ater heater is a pow er vented appliance and is designed to vent its
products of combustion through 2’’ (5.1 cm) or 3’’ (7.6 cm) diameter vent
pipe to the outdoors. The w ater heater may be either vented horizontally
through the w all or vertically through the roof. Use a 3’’ (7.6 cm) to 2’’
(5.1 cm) reducer to connect to the vent outlet w hen using 3’’ (7.6 cm)
vent pipe. Apply proper cement at joint locations. Table 1 lists the
maximum vent lengths for this w ater heater using 2’’ (5.1 cm) vent pipe. If
possible, locate the w ater heater so that the venting length and number of
elbow s are kept to the minimum distance necessary to reach the outside. If
the installation requires venting lengths that exceed the lengths listed for
2’’ (5.1 cm) vent pipe in Table 1 then use 3’’ (7.6 cm) vent pipe for the
vent connector.
12
Venting continued-
Table 2 lists the venting distances allow ed w ith 3’’ (7.6 cm) diameter vent
pipe. When venting with 3’’ (7.6 cm) vent pipe, use a 3’’ (7.6 cm) to 2’’
(5.1 cm) reducer to exit through the building w all w ith 2’’ (5.1 cm) vent
pipe. Use the 2’’ (5.1 cm) vent terminal supplied w ith the w ater heater to
terminate on the outside of the building. If the length of the 2’’ (5.1 cm)
needed to go through the w all is greater than 14’’ (35.6 cm), use 3’’ (7.6
cm) vent pipe to go through the w all and reduce to 2’’ (5.1 cm) vent pipe
immediately after exiting the outside w all. Refer to the venting illustrations
on the follow ing pages. Make sure the vent pipe terminal is at least 1’’ (2.5

Vent Pipe Preparation and Joining
Most failures in vent systems result from improper preparation and joining
of pipe and fittings. The guidelines below must be follow ed w hen installing
the venting system. If you have any question about the application or
installation of the venting system, contact the vent pipe manufacturer,
supplier, or your plumbing professional.
1) Specific cleaners, solvents, primers and cements are available for PVC,
CPVC, and ABS pipe. Be sure these materials match the type of pipe to
be installed. The vent pipe manufacturers joining instructions must be
follow ed in all cases. Never use all-purpose cements, commercial glues
and adhesives or ABS cement to join PVC or CPVC pipe and fittings.
Refer to the table at the beginning of the ‘‘ Venting’’ section for
approved primers and cements.
a) CLEANERS, SOLVENTS, PRIMERS AND CEMENTS ARE
FLAMMABLE. Do not store or use these materials near heat or
open flame, or in the vicinity of other appliances.
2) Use proper cutting, deburring and applicator tools to ensure proper
preparation and joining of pipe and fittings.
a) Cutting Tools
i) A square cut must be achieved w ith a miter box saw or pipe
cutter to ensure a proper mating w ith the female. If a pipe
cutter is used, the burr created at the outer edge of the pipe
must be removed.
b) Deburring Tools
i) A file, knife or plastic deburring tool can be used to remove
burrs. Burrs must be removed from the inside and outside
edges of the pipe to ensure a proper seal.
c) Applicator Tools
i) A natural bristle paintbrush or roller may be used to apply
cement. Prompt application of the cement is important due its
fast drying properties.
3) Inspection, Cleaning, Priming and Cementing
a) Inspect the pipe inside and out for dirt, dust, moisture or grease
etc. Check pipe and fittings for splits or cracks and replace if
found.
b) Clean pipe and fittings are imperative for proper joining. Follow ing
cutting and deburring, w ipe aw ay any foreign material w ith a clean
dry rag. If w iping fails to thoroughly clean surfaces, chemical
cleaning is necessary.
c) Primer must be applied to the pipe surface and fitting socket w ith a
natural bristle brush. This serves to soften and prepare the pipe for
cementing.
19
Vent Pipe Preparation and Joining continued-
d) Cementing must be done quickly to avoid over-drying before
joining.
i) Apply one coat to the outside end of the pipe at a w idth
slightly greater than the depth of the socket.
ii) Apply a coat around the inside of the fitting socket.
iii) Apply a second coat around the end of the pipe.
4) Joining
a) Joints should be made immediately after cement is applied.
b) After fully inserting pipe into fitting socket, hold joint together for
about 15 to 20 seconds.
c) Remove excess cement from around pipe and fitting w ith a clean
rag.
d) Cement drying times may vary. Be sure to allow for the
recommended drying time before disturbing joints.
For more specific and detailed information about the above, contact the
vent pipe manufacturer, supplier, or competent professional.

Combustion Air Supply
WARNING
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gases are heavier than air and will
remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets
and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of
leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas.
Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your
building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s telephone.
Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE UNTIL LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
IMPORTANT
The flow of combustion and ventilating air must not be obstructed.
Provide adequate air for combustion and ventilation. An insufficient supply of air
will cause recirculation of combustion products resulting in air contamination
that may be hazardous to life. Such a condition often will result in a yellow,
luminous burner flame, causing carbon build up or sooting of the combustion
chamber, burners, and flue tubes with possible damage to the water heater.
When an exhaust fan is installed in the same room with a water heater,
sufficient openings for air must be provided in the walls. Undersized openings
will cause air to be drawn into the room through the venting, causing
recirculation of combustion products.
Unconfined Spaces
In unconfined spaces in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide air for
combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases. However, in buildings of tight
construction (for example, weather stripping, heavily insulated, caulked, vapor
barrier, etc.), additional air may need to be provided using the methods
described under CONFINED SPACES: All Air From Outdoors or Specially
Engineered Installations.
Confined Spaces
Confined spaces are spaces defined as having less than 50 ft.3/1000 BTU (1.4
m3/0.29 kw-hr).
21
Installation (Combustion Air Supply) continued-
All Air From Inside the Building: The confined space must be provided with
two permanent openings communicating directly with an additional room(s) of
sufficient volume so that the combined volume of all spaces meets the criteria
for an unconfined space. The total input of all gas utilization equipment installed
in the combined space must be considered in making this determination. Each
opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU (6.5
cm2/0.29 kw) per hour of the total input rating of all gas utilization equipment in
the confined space, but not less than 100 square inches (645 cm 2). One
opening must be within 12 inches (31 cm) of the top and one within 12 inches
(31 cm) of the bottom of the enclosure.
All Air From Outdoors: The confined space must be provided with two
permanent openings, one commencing within 12 inches (31 cm) of the top and
one commencing within 12 inches (31 cm) from the bottom of the enclosure.
The openings must communicate directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or
spaces (crawl or attic) that freely communicate with the outdoors.
1. When directly communicating with the outdoors, each opening must have a
minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU (6.5 cm2/1.2 kw) per
hour of total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
2. When communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, each
opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU
(6.5 cm2/1.2 kw) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the
enclosure.
3. When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each
opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 2000 BTU
(6.5 cm2/0.6 kw) per hour of total input rating of all equipment in the
enclosure.
4. When ducts are used, they must be of the same cross-sectional area as the
free area of the openings to which they connect. The minimum dimension of
rectangular air ducts must be not less than 3 inches (7.5 cm).
Specially Engineered Installations
The requirements noted under CONFINED SPACES above must not
necessarily govern when special engineering, approved by the authority having
jurisdiction, provides an adequate supply of air for combustion, ventilation, and
dilution of flue gases.
22
Water Connections
NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE
MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE.
After shutting off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line
pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the
water connections to the water heater. After the pressure has been relieved,
close the faucet. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on
the top of the water heater. The fittings at the cold water inlet and hot water
outlet are dielectric waterway fittings with 3/4” NPT male thread. Make the
proper plumbing connections between the water heater and the plumbing
system to the house. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
CAUTION
If sweat fittings are to be used DO NOT apply heat to the nipples on top
of the water heater. Sweat the tubing to the adapter before fitting the
adapter to the water connections. It is imperative that heat is not applied
to the nipples containing a plastic liner.
If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one
having a back-flow preventer in the cold water supply, provisions must be made
to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate this water heater in a closed
system without provisions for controlling thermal expansion. Your water supplier
or local plumbing inspector should be contacted on how to control this situation.
WARNING
FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 3/4” X 3/4”
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE
THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM THAT MIGHT RESULT
FROM EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.
After installation of the water lines, open the main water supply valve and fill the
water heater. While the water heater is filling, open several hot water faucets to
allow air to escape from the water system. When a steady stream of water flows
through the faucets, close them and check all water connections for possible
leaks. NEVER OPERATE THE WATER HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING
CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER.
23
Water Connections continued-
WARNING
For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install
temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes,
but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve
certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains
periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials as
meeting the requirements of the Standard for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANS
Z21.22 or the Standard CAN1-4.4. Temperature and Pressure and the
Standard CAN1-4.4, Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure
Relief Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves. The combination temperature
and pressure relief valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure
not to exceed the maximum working pressure of the water heater. The
combination temperature and pressure relief valve must also have an
hourly rated temperature steam BTU discharge capacity not less than
the hourly rating of the water heater.
Install the combination temperature and pressure relief valve into the
opening provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater.
Note: Some models may already be equipped or supplied with a
combination temperature and pressure relief valve. Verify that the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve complies with local
codes. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve does not
comply with local codes, replace it with one that does. Follow the
installation instructions above on this page.
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches (15.2
cm) above, or any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact
any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow for
complete drainage of both the combination temperature and pressure
relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening must not be
subjected to blockage or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug or cap the
discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4)
inches (10.2 cm) be provided on the side of the water heater for
servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve.
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve and the tank.
24
Water Connections continued-
WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has
not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time (generally
two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent
the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot
water faucet to be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before
you use any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as
air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not
smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the
system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain
appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require
increased temperature water. By setting the thermostat on this water heater to
obtain the increased temperature water required by these appliances, you may
create the potential for scald injury. To protect against injury, you should install
an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce
point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply
lines. Such valves are available from the manufacturer of this water heater or a
local plumbing supplier. Please consult with a plumbing professional.
Water temperature over 125°F
can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly
are at highest risk of being
scalded.

Gas Connections
WARNING
Prior to connecting the gas supply line to a gas fired water heater, ensure that
the gas supply line does not have moisture/water or dirt/scale inside the gas
line. Commonly this check is done at the lowest point in the gas distribution
system prior to gas burning appliances.
The gas supply lines must meet all requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1-Latest Edition), or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code
(Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code (Latest Edition).
The minimum permissible gas supply pressure for the purpose of input adjustment is
one (1.0) inch (0.25 kPa) water column above the operating manifold pressure. See the
rating plate and gas valve for the manifold pressure and gas type. The maximum
permissible gas supply pressure is fourteen (14.0) inches (3.5 kPa) water column for
natural gas and liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas.
1.
Connect this water heater only to the type of gas (Natural or Propane gas) as
shown on the rating plate. Use clean black iron pipe or equivalent material
approved by local codes and ordinances. (Dirt and scale from the pipe can enter
the gas valve and cause it to malfunction). The inlet gas line must have a minimum
length of three (3) inches (7.6 cm) drip leg (sediment trap) installed as close to the
water heater’s gas valve as possible. A ground joint union must be installed as
close to the water heater as possible in the gas supply line feeding the water
heater to permit servicing of the water heater. Compounds used on the threaded
joints of the gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gases/propane gas. DO NOT apply pipe dope to the gas valve inlet and make
certain that no pipe dope has become lodged in the inlet screen of the gas valve.
Extreme care must be taken to ensure no pipe dope enters the gas valve. Avoid
excessive torque when tightening the gas supply line to the gas valve. Excessive
torque may result in cracking of the gas valve housing and could create a gas leak.
The suggested maximum torque is 31.5 ft. lbs. (4.4 kg-m).
2.
WARNING
The manufacturer of this water heater will not be liable for any damage or injury
caused as a result of a cracked gas inlet as a result of excessive torque.
3.
This water heater and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the
water heater in operation. Check for gas leaks with a soap and water solution and a
brush or a commercial leak detector fluid. NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN
FLAME FOR TESTING!
CAUTION
The water heater and individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The water heater must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures equal to or less
than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The supply line must be capped when not connected to
the water heater.
26
Gas Connections continued4.
While checking for leaks care must be taken to prevent solution from
contacting the electrical connections at the control. If electrical connections at
the control become w et, they must be thoroughly dried before attempting to
operate the w ater heater.

Troubleshooting continued-
Control Sequence of Operation
Start up Sequence
Upon pow ering up, the control checks for the presence of the vapor sensor, if the
resistance is in the expected range the control w ill begin normal operation after 5 to
8 seconds.
Normal Heating Sequence
1. The thermostat senses a need for heat.
2. The control checks the pressure sw itch condition.
3. If the pressure sw itch is open, the control sends pow er to the blow er motor.
4. The blow er starts moving combustion air through the combustion system.
5. The pressure sw itch closes.
6. The control senses the closed pressure sw itch and starts the ignition process
by providing a spark at the pilot electrode and allow ing gas to flow to the pilot.
7. When the pilot is lit the gas control senses the pilot flame and opens the main
gas valve.
8. The main burner is lit.
9. The main burner and blow er continue to operate until the thermostat is
satisfied.
10. When the thermostat is satisfied the main and pilot gas valves close.
11. The blow er operates for a short post purge period before shutting dow n.
12. The w ater heater remains in the stand-by mode until the next call for heat.

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR INSTALLATION OF:
GAS WATER HEATERS SUITABLE FOR WATER (POTABLE)
HEATING AND SPACE HEATING
1. All piping components connected to this water heater for space heating
applications must be suitable for use with potable water. In Massachusetts,
space heating piping length must not exceed 50 feet.
2. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, must not be
introduced into potable water used for space heating.
3. This water heater must not be connected to an existing heating system or
component(s) previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher
than required for other uses, a means such as an ASSE approved mixing
valve shall be installed to temper the water for those uses in order to reduce
scald hazard potential.
Please refer to the illustrations below for the suggested piping arrangement.
