TABLE 2

In all installations the minimum combustible clearances from any

draft hood surface or vent piping shall be 6” (16cm). Vent piping

passing through a combustible wall or ceiling must be a continuous

run (no joints) and retain the 6” (16cm) clearance unless an

approved reducing thimble is used.

A service clearance of 24” (61cm) should be maintained from

serviceable parts, such as relief valves, flue baffles, flue damper

devices, thermostats, cleanout openings or drain valves.

HARD WATER

Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or threshold type

of water treatment is recommended. This will protect dishwashers,

coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other equipment.

See MAINTENANCE section for details of tank cleanout procedure.

AIR REQUIREMENTS

REFER TO THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE “NATIONAL FUEL

GAS CODE” ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

WARNING

KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES, VAPORS

AND LIQUIDS.

DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION OR

VENTILATING AIR.

WARNING

FOR SAFE OPERATION 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 AND CREATES A

RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.

Where an exhaust fan is supplied 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 POOR COMBUSTION. SOOTING MAY RESULT

IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE HEATER AND RISK OF FIRE

OR EXPLOSION.

UNCONFINED SPACE

In buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction,

unconfined spaces may provide adequate air for combustion,

ventilation and draft hood dilution.

If the unconfined space is within a building of tight construction

(buildings using the following construction: weather stripping,

heavy insulation, caulking, vapor barrier, etc.), air for combustion,

ventilation and draft hood dilution must be obtained from

outdoors. The installation instructions for confined spaces in

tightly constructed buildings must be followed to ensure adequate

air supply.
