Air R equirements An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is required to: • Ensure proper combustion. • Reduce risk of property damage, severe bodily injury or death from possible flue gas leakage and carbon monox- ide emissions. Do not install an exhaust fan in the same room as the water heater .
appliances in the enclosure, freely communicating with inte- rior areas that have in turn adequate infiltration from the out- side. It shall also have a combustion air supply opening so that the total air received through the opening will be at least as much as would be admitted by openings having a total free area of 4.
Chimney Be sure that the chimney is sufficiently high and large enough to meet the specifications of the burner unit installed. Check that there is suf ficient draft for the proper burning of oil. At least -0.015 in. w .c. (-0.004kPa) of over-fire draft is recommended.
• Always use a proper grade of joint compound and be cer- tain that all fittings are drawn up tight. 1. Install the water piping and fittings as shown in Figures 7 or 8. Connect the cold water supply to the fitting (3/4” NPT) marked “COLD” (or “C”).
DO NOT use any pumps, valves, or fittings that are not com- patible with pot able water . DO NOT use valves that may cause excessive restriction to water flow . Use full flow ball or gate valves only . DO NOT use any lead based solder in potable water lines.
