the water heater.
2. The installation must conform with these instructions and the
local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of local
codes, the installation must comply with the current editions of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and the National
Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or CAN/CSA-B149.1, the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code and CSA C22.1, the Canadian Electrical
Code. All documents are available from the Canadian Standards
Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.
NFPA documents are also available from the National Fire Protection
Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
3. The water heater when installed must be grounded in accordance
