John Wood Power Direct Vent (ENERGY STAR) - Manual (Page 30)

Installation
The heating mode may be one of the following options:
A. A fan coil/air handler (Figure 24).
B. A hydronic baseboard (finned tube) loop/In floor heating
(Figure 25).
The following is a list of requirements for the installation of
the heating loop to the water heater.
1. Install shut-off valves and unions so that the water heater
can be isolated from the heating module should servicing
of the water heater become necessary.
2. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the heating loop
so that water can be drained from the heating module
without affecting the water heater.
3. If the air handler does not have a venting means at the
highest point of the piping arrangement, install an air
bleed at the highest point of the plumbing arrangement.
