•  ANSI - American National Standards Institute

•  NFPA - National Fire Protection Association

•  ASME - American Society of Mechanical Engineers

•  GAMA - Gas Appliance Manufacturer’s Association

 

This gas-fired water heater is design certified by CSA INTERNATIONAL 

under American  National  Standard/CSA  Standard  for  Gas  Water 

Heaters for Manufactured Home Installation, ANSI Z21.10.1 • CSA 

4.1 (current edition).  

1.  Read the “General Safety” section, page 3 of this manual first and 

then the entire manual carefully.  If you don’t follow the safety rules, 

the water heater will not operate properly.  It could cause DEATH, 

SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

  This manual contains instructions for the installation, operation, and 

maintenance of the gas-fired water heater. It also contains warnings 

throughout the manual that you must read and be aware of. All warnings 

and all instructions are essential to the proper operation of the water 

heater and your safety. Since we cannot put everything on the first 

few pages, 

2.  Instructions to Manufactured Home Manufacturers:

  The  installation  must  conform  with  the  Manufactured  Home 

Construction and Safety Standards Title 24 CFR, Part 3280. 

Instruction for replacement installation:

  The installation must conform with these instructions and the local 

code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, 

installations shall comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI 

Z223.1/NFPA 54, current edition. This publication is available from 

the Canadian Standards Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Rd., 

Cleveland Ohio 44131, or The National Fire Protection Association,

3.  If after reading this manual you have any questions or do not 

understand any portion of the instructions, call the local gas utility 

or the manufacturer whose name appears on the rating plate.

4.  Carefully plan the place where you are going to put the water 

heater.  Correct  combustion, vent action, and vent pipe installation 

are  very  important  in  preventing  death  from  possible  carbon 

monoxide poisoning and fires, see Figures 1 and 2.

  Examine the location to ensure the water heater complies with 

the “Locating the New Water Heater” section in this manual.

5.  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 California Office of the State 

Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.

6.  Massachusetts Code requires this water heater to be installed in 

accordance with Massachusetts 248-CMR 2.00: State Plumbing 

Code and 248-CMR 5.00.

7.  Complies with SCAQMD rule #1121 and districts having equivalent 

NOx requirements.
