Venting continued- 
 
This water heater must be connected to a lined masonry chimney or venting 
system approved by local codes or ordinances.  The vent connector used to 
attach the draft diverter outlet to the chimney or approved vent must be of the 
same diameter as the draft diverter outlet or larger.  For proper venting in 
certain installations, a larger vent connector may be needed.  Consult venting 
tables in ANSI standard (Z223.1-or latest edition), National Fuel Gas Code 
and CAN/CGA (B149.1 or B149.2-latest editions) Natural Gas and Propane 
Installation Code, or local code officials for proper application for your area. 
 
Combustion Air Supply 
 
 
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 carboning 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 heater, sufficient 
openings for air must be provided in the walls.  Undersized openings will 
cause air to be drawn into the room through the chimney, causing 
recirculation of combustion products. 
WARNING
 
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas 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. 
 
•  Do not block or in any way restrict jacket air inlet slots located at the 
bottom front of the water heater.
