Combustion Air Supply and 
Ventilation
IMPORTANT:  Air for combustion and ventilation must 
not come from a corrosive atmosphere. Any failure due 
to corrosive elements in the atmosphere is excluded from 
warranty coverage.
The following types of installation (not limited to the 
following) will require outdoor air for combustion due to 
chemical exposure and may reduce but not eliminate the 
presence of corrosive chemicals in the air:
• beauty 
shops
• 
photo processing labs
• 
buildings with indoor pools 
• 
water heaters installed in laundry, hobby, or craft rooms
• 
water heaters installed near chemical storage areas
Combustion air must be free of acid-forming chemicals 
such as sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine. These elements are 
found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning 
solvents, air fresheners, paint, and varnish removers, 
refrigerants, and many other commercial and household 
products. When burned, vapors from these products form 
highly corrosive acid compounds. These products should 
not be stored or used near the water heater or air inlet.
Combustion and ventilation air requirements are 
determined by the location of the water heater. The water 
heater may be located in either an open (unconfined) area 
or in a confined area or small enclosure such as a closet or 
small room. Confined spaces are areas with less than 50 
cubic feet for each 1,000 BTU/HR of the total input for all 
gas-using appliances.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Water heater must be vented to outdoors.
Vent must be installed by a qualified person 
using the installation instructions.
Examples of a qualified person include:   
gas technicians, 
authorized gas company personnel, 
and authorized service persons.
Failure to follow these instructions can result 
in death or carbon monoxide poisoning.
WARNING
BTU/HR.
