Pre-Installation
Locating Water Heater
• The Excellence is not intended for outdoor
installations.
• Locate Excellence so that any leakage from the
tank or water connections will not cause dam-
age to the area adjoining the water heater or to
lower floors in the structure.
Recommended Clearances
The Excellence is approved for zero clearance to
combustibles, excluding vent and boiler piping.
- Vent & Boiler Piping - 1/4 inch from com-
bustible materials.
To provide serviceability to the unit it is rec-
ommended that the following clearances be
maintained:
Top boiler jacket - 24 inches.
Front - 24 inches.
Bottom boiler piping - 24 inches.

Sides - 6 inches
When maintaining zero clearance or less
than recommended clearances, some prod-
uct labeling may become hidden and
unreadable
When installing the Excellence in a confined
space, sufficient air must be provided for
proper combustion and venting and to
allow, under normal operating conditions,
proper air flow around the product to main-
tain ambient temperatures within safe limits
to comply with the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54 - latest edition. Reference the
Excellence Boiler Manual for additional
guidelines.
