Bradford-White Corp DS150S Manuel D’Utilisation

 

Failure to adhere to these installation and operating instructions 
may create a hazard to life and property and will nullify the 
warranty. 

 
This installation shall allow access to the front of the water heater and 
adequate clearance shall be provided for servicing and operating this  
water heater. The water heater may be installed on either a combustible or 
non-combustible floor.  If the water heater is to be installed directly on 
carpeting, it shall be installed on top of a metal or wood panel extending 
beyond the full width and depth of the appliance by at least three (3) inches 
(7.6 cm) in any direction or, if the appliance is to be installed in an alcove or 
closet, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel.  The minimum clearances 
to combustibles for this water heater is: zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the sides 
and rear, four (4) inches (10.2 cm) from the front of the jacket, zero (0) inch (0 
cm) from the plenum, zero (0) inch (0 cm) from the air intake elbow and 
telescopic tubes and twelve (12) inches (30.5 cm) from the direct vent-air 
intake terminal.  (See Figure 1). 
 

The direct vent-air intake terminal is HOT while the water heater is 
in operation.  Do not touch.  Keep children, combustibles, gasoline 
and other liquids having flammable vapors away. 

 
It is recommended that a vent-air intake terminal guard be installed when the 
vent-air intake terminal is located where it can be touched accidentally, or 
accessed by children.  (See Figure 2). 
 
A chain link or louvered fence may be used instead of the vent-air intake 
terminal guard.  Maintain proper clearances as specified in this instruction 
manual to the vent-air intake terminal.  (See Figure 3).
