WHL-004 REV. 12.17.14
A. BEFORE LOCATING THE WATER HEATER
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the water heater
installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious
personal injury, or death.

The service life of the water heater
’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the cabinet, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat
exchanger, are directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas, higher concentration levels of
chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of the heat exchanger and other water heater
components. In these environments, water heaters must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor air for
combustion. Such water heaters must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity
and, hence, potential corrosion will be minimized.

This water heater is certified for indoor installations only. Do not install the water heater outdoors. Failure to install this water heater
indoors could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

indoors could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
2. Check for nearby connections to:
System water piping
Venting connections
Gas supply piping
Electrical power
Condensate drain
Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to
surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The water heater should be located near a floor drain, or installed in proximity to an
adequately drained drain pan. Westinghouse WILL NOT be held liable for leakage damages.
To conserve water and energy, insulate all water piping, especially the hot and recirculation water lines.
3. Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

3. Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
Failure to keep water heater area clear and free of combustible materials, liquids, and vapors can result in substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from dripping water during operation and service.
5. If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:
severe personal injury, or death.

5. If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems, such as:
System leaks
Location that could cause the system and water heater to freeze and leak.
Incorrectly-sized expansion tank
Do not connect the water heater to any heating systems or components that have been previously used for non-potable applications.
Do not introduce toxic chemicals, such as antifreeze or water heater treatments, into the water heater or any piping meant for potable
water purposes.
Ensure that all piping and components connected to the water heater are suitable for potable water applications.
