7. Do not plug in power cord until vent system is completely installed. This power vent heater operates on 110-120 Vac, therefore a grounded outlet must be within reach of the six (6) foot (1.8 m) flexible power cord supplied with the unit (see Figure 1). The power cord supplied may be used only where local codes permit. If local codes do not permit the use of a flexible power supply cord: a.) Make sure the unit is unplugged from wall outlet. Remove screws and open panel on front of control box. b.) Cut the flexible power cord, leaving enough to be able to make connections and remove the strain relief fitting from box. c.) Install suitable conduit fitting in side of enclosure and then follow (d.) and (e.) below. d.) Splice field wiring into existing wiring using code authorized method (wire nuts, etc.). e.) Be certain that neutral and live connections are not reversed when making these connections. f.) Close panel on the side of control box, make sure that access panel is secured shut. 17 VENT CONNECTIONS TO BLOWER ASSEMBLY Figure 21 shows the optimal placement of the 2” to 3” or 3” to 4” reducer; however, the vent can be reduced at any point in the vent system as long as the maximum vent length is not exceeded. FIGURE 21. VENTING AND INSTALLATION Plan the layout of the vent system from the vent termination to the water heater considering all of the 90° and 45° elbows plus the number of feet of pipe that would be needed to install the total vent system. 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. Nonmetallic vent may be used if it has “Heat Deflection Temperature” (HDT@66 psi) or 455 kPa of at least 157°F or 69°C. Typical nonmetallic vent materials meeting this requirement are: PVC (Schedule 40, ASTM D-1785), Coex Cellular Core (Schedule 40, ASTM F-441), CPVC (Schedule 40, ASTM D-2846), ABS (Schedule 40, ASTM D-2661). The fittings, other than the supplied Vent Termination should be equivalent to the following: PVC (Schedule 40, DWV, ASTM D-2665), CPVC (Schedule 40, DWV, ASTM F-438), ABS (Schedule 40 DWV, ASTM D-2661). The cement used should be as recommended by the vent pipe manufacturer. See the instructions on pages 20 and 21 for the proper method of cutting and cementing the PVC pipe and fittings. 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 as follows: • For Schedule 40, 2” PVC, ABS, Coex Cellular Core vent pipe: Every 3 feet (0.9 m). • For Schedule 40, 3” PVC, ABS, Coex Cellular Core vent pipe: Every 3.5 feet (1.1 m). • For Schedule 40, 4” PVC, ABS, Coex Cellular Core vent pipe: Every 4 feet (1.2 m). • For Schedule 40, 2” CPVC vent pipe: Every 5 feet (1.5 m). • For Schedule 40, 3” CPVC vent pipe: Every 6 feet (1.8 m). • For Schedule 40, 4” CPVC vent pipe: Every 6.5 feet (2.0 m). It is imperative that the first hanger (or support) be located on the horizontal run immediately adjacent to the first 90-degree elbow from the vertical rise. Support method used should isolate the vent pipe from the floor joists or other structural members to 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 heater in pre-existing venting, a thorough inspection of the existing venting system must be performed prior to any installation work. Verify that the correct material as detailed above has been used, and that the minimum or maximum vent lengths and terminal location 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 and 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. Except where instructed in this manual, the mixing of 2”, 3” and 4” vent pipe is NOT ALLOWED. If 2” pipe is to be used, then a 2” to 3” bell reducer is recommended. Figure 21 shows the recommended location for the bell reducer. If the bell reducer is located at the rubber boot on the blower assembly, then a short section of 3” vent pipe needs to be installed in the rubber boot for proper connection of the 2” to 3” bell reducer. That length can be the minimum length required for the connection. If 4” pipe is to be used, then a 3” to 4” bell reducer is recommended. Figure 21 shows the recommended location for ...
