WARNING
This water heater needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air. Insufficient air supply will cause a recirculation of combustion products resulting in
contamination that may be hazardous to life. This will result in carboning or sooting of the combustion chamber, burners,
and flue tubes and creates a risk of asphyxiation.
This water heater requires its own separate venting system. DO NOT connect the exhaust vent into an existing vent
pipe or chimney.
Water heater materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides,
aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the
state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing,
respirators and equipment when servicing or working nearby this water heater.
Flammable items, pressurized containers or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or
adjacent to the water heater. Open containers of flammable material should not be stored or used in the same room with
this water heater.
Insulation blankets are not required for this water heater. This water heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES 90.1b
(latest edition) standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long
period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of injury
under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink before
you use any electrical appliance, which is connect to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be unusual
sounds such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have open flame near the
faucet at the time it is open.
WARNING
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements,
crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before
lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
DO NOT try to light any appliance.
DO NOT touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
To comply with NSF requirements this water heater must be sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily
cleanable way.

SECTION III: GENERAL INFORMATION
FEATURES
This water heater contains the following features:
MAIN POWER ON/OFF SWITCH – The front panel of this water heater has a lighted ON/OFF switch, which is illuminated
when the main power is turned on to indicate power to the water heater.
COMBUSTION SYSTEM – This water heater is equipped with a self-compensating negative pressure pre-mix combustion
system. As the blower operates, air is drawn in through the air intake and into a venturi, which pulls gas from the gas
valve. The gas and air is then mixed in the combustion blower and sent through the transition tube into the burner. The
Direct Spark Ignition System (DSI) then ignites the gas/air fuel mixture to produce flue products (combustion). The flame
sensor signals the ignition control board (described below), that a flame is present.
HONEYWELL INTEGRATED CONTROL – Consists of a control board and a water heater display. An attractive digital
water heater display is on the top front of the water heater for precisely setting and displaying the temperature setpoint
and monitoring the status of the water heater. Pressing the temperature UP and DOWN buttons changes the temperature
setpoint. The temperature format may be displayed in degrees F or degrees C. The water heater display will show
diagnostic codes in the event the water heater needs servicing. The temperature readings of the tank sensor can be
monitored in Service Mode. Also in Service Mode, the display can show up to 10 previous error codes to further aid in
servicing the water heater.
The single control board has plug in wiring harnesses to reduce the chance of mis-wiring. The control board controls all
ignition, temperature, and combustion blower functions. The control board controls the combustion blower, ignition
timings, and gas valve to control the combustion system in order to maintain the desired tank temperature. The sequence
of operation is described in detail in the Diagnostic Section at the back of this Installation and Operating Instruction
Manual.
ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT – This water heater is equipped with an adjustable thermostat as part of the Integrated
Control System to control water temperature. Hot water temperatures required for automatic dishwasher and laundry use
can cause scald burns resulting in serious personal injury and/or death.
The temperature may be adjusted from about 70°F (21°C) to about 180°F (82°C). The thermostat was adjusted to 70°F
(21°C) before the water heater was shipped from the factory. It is recommended that lower temperatures be used to
avoid the risk of scalding. Refer to the “Warnings” and the section on SCALDING in “Section V: Water Connections”. It is
further recommended, in all cases, that the water temperature be set for the lowest temperature, which satisfies your hot
water requirements for the installation. This will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater and
minimizes scale formation.
Setting the water heater temperature at 120°F (49°C) will reduce the risk of scalds. Some states require setting lower
temperatures for specific installations.
The top immersion well of the single sensor control also contains a redundant sensor for the high limit (energy cutoff).
The high limit circuit interrupts the main burner gas flow should the water temperature exceed approximately 200°F
(93°C). Error code “65” will be shown on the water heater control display if the high limit temperature has been exceeded.
Should the high limit switch activate, it must be manually reset. This should only be done by a service technician after the
cause of overheating has been corrected. Refer to the section on “Accessing Service Mode on the Display” in the
Diagnostic section of this Installation and Instruction Manual.
Contact your qualified installing contractor, service provider or manufacturer listed on the rating plate if continued high
limit operation occurs.
SERVICE PANEL – The service panel is located behind the service panel access cover, which is located by the exhaust
elbow near the bottom of the water heater. This panel contains a pressure switch that monitors the pressure in the
exhaust pipe in case the vent terminal becomes blocked. A collector high limit switch is used to monitor the ambient
temperature between the first pass collector and the exhaust collector. This is a manually re-settable switch. If this switch
continues to trip, please contact an authorized service agency.
LATCHES – The latches allow easy access for servicing the water heater from the top. Simply remove the two latches for
servicing and re-latch upon completion. No tools are required to obtain access to the top of the water heater.

TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE –
WARNING
Keep clear of the combination temperature and pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may
be hot enough to cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash.
For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install temperature and pressure protective equipment
required by local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials as
meeting the requirements of the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply
Systems, ANSI Z21.22 and the Standard CAN1-4.4 Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves
and Vacuum Relief Valves. The combination temperature and pressure relief valve must be marked with a maximum
set pressure not to exceed the maximum working pressure of the water heater. The combination temperature and
pressure relief valve rating must not be less than the hourly rating of the water heater.
Install the combination temperature and pressure relief valve into the opening provided and marked for this purpose on
the water heater.
Note: Some models may already be equipped or supplied with an installed combination temperature and pressure
relief valve. Verify that the combination temperature and pressure relief valve complies with local codes. If the
combination temperature and pressure relief valve does not comply with local codes, replace it with one that does.
Follow the installation instructions above on this page.
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the combination temperature and pressure relief valve will exit
within six (6) inches (15.2 cm) above, or any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact any live electrical
part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow for complete drainage of both the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening must not be subjected to blockage or freezing.
DO NOT thread, plug or cap the discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum clearance of four (4) inches
(10.0 cm) be provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature
and pressure relief valve.
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and pressure relief valve and the tank!
CONDENSATE DRAIN - The water heater should either be raised several inches above the floor on a concrete slab or
use a low profile condensate pump to allow free drainage of condensate from the elbow drain fitting. This water heater is
a condensing type unit and requires a drain to be located in close proximity to allow the condensate to drain safely. The
condensate drains from the unit at the exhaust elbow located near the bottom of the unit. Using an approved primer and
cement (refer to “Venting” section), connect a 3/4" elbow or 3/4" coupling over the outside of the drain outlet and use 3/4"
pipe for the drain trap and condensate line to a drain. Make sure the condensate drain line slopes down, away from the
water heater at least 1/8" per foot toward the drain. The condensate drain pipe must not be routed through an area
subject to below freezing temperatures. The condensate build-up will block the exhaust outlet, which will cause improper
operation. Refer to Figure 2 for the proper connection of an elbow to the drain outlet and a condensate trap.

Figure 2. Condensate Elbow With Trap
CLEANOUT – All models are equipped with a cleanout opening to aid in removal of hard water deposits from the tank
bottom. If this water heater operates under hard water conditions, the following should be performed at least every 3
months: Turn off water supply and drain the water heater. Remove the cleanout jacket cover and tank cover. When
cleaning the tank, care must be taken to avoid trying to break deposits loose as this could damage the glass lining and
shorten the life of the water heater. After cleaning, re-install the cleanout tank cover and jacket cover, and refill with
water. Refer to the section, “Section X – Maintenance” in this Installation and Operating Instruction manual for the
procedures for filling and draining the water heater.
SACRIFICIAL ANODES – Four sacrificial anode rods have been installed in the tank head to extend tank life. The anode
rods should be inspected periodically for corrosion and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water conditions in
your area will influence the time interval for inspection and replacement of the anode rods. The use of a water softener
may increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anodes is needed when using softened
(or phosphate treated) water. Contact the installing contractor, or service provider that installed the water heater or the
manufacturer listed on the rating plate for anode replacement information.
DISHWASHING MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
All dishwashing machines meeting the National Sanitation Foundation requirements are designed to operate with water
flow pressures between 15 and 25 pounds per square inch. Flow pressures above 25 pounds per square inch, or below
15 pounds per square inch, will result in improperly sanitized dishes.
The National Sanitation Foundation also recommends circulation of 180°F water. Where this is done, the circulation
should be very gentle so that it does not cause any unnecessary turbulence inside the water heater. The circulation
should be just enough to provide 180°F water at the point of take-off to the dishwashing machine. Adjust flow by means
of the valve in the circulation line.

SECTION IV: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED
TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING, GAS SUPPLY AND
ELECTRICAL WORK ARE REQUIRED
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT ANY GAS APPLIANCE IF YOU ARE NOT CERTAIN OF THE FOLLOWING:
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas and natural gas have an odorant added by the gas supplier that aids in
detection of the gas.
Most people recognize this odor as a “sulfur” or “rotten egg” smell.
Other conditions, such as “odorant fade” can cause the odorant to diminish in intensity, or “fade”, and not be as
readily detectable.
If you have a diminished sense of smell, or are in any way unsure of the presence of gas, immediately contact
your gas supplier from a telephone in another building.
Gas detectors are available. Contact your gas supplier or plumbing professional for more information.
Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements,
crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before
lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!
WARNING
This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank, water line connections, or the combination
temperature and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower
floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the water
heater. The drain pan depth must be suitable for draining and collecting water, and have a minimum length and width
of at least four (4) inches (10.0 cm) measured from the jacket of the water heater. The drain pan, as described above,
can be purchased from your plumbing professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. The piping
must be at least 3/4 inch (2.0 cm) in diameter and pitched for proper drainage.
Sacrificial anode rods have been installed in the tank head of the water heater to extend tank life. The removal of these
anodes for any reason will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot
water faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and the impurities in the water. If this should happen,
alternative anodes may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while
protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.
Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or
moving during an earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may be obtained
from the DSA Headquarters Office: 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100, Sacramento CA 95811.

CAUTION
If the building cold water supply has a back-flow preventer, check valve or water meter with check valve, provisions
for thermal expansion of water in the hot water system must be provided.
LOCATION
KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.
This water heater must be located in an area where the general public does not have access to set temperatures.
AIR REQUIREMENTS
1. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilating air.
2. For safe operation, adequate air is needed for combustion and ventilation. Sooting may result in serious damage to
the water heater and risk of fire or explosion. It can also create a risk of asphyxiation. Such a condition often will
result in a yellow, luminous burner flame, causing carboning or sooting of the combustion chamber, burner and flue
tubes.
MECHANICAL EXHAUSTING OF ROOM AIR
1. Where an exhaust fan is installed in the same room with this water heater and combustion air is drawn from inside
the room, sufficient openings for air must be provided in the walls. UNDERSIZED OPENINGS WILL CAUSE AIR TO
BE DRAWN INTO THE ROOM THROUGH THE WATER HEATER’S VENTING SYSTEM, CAUSING POOR
COMBUSTION THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO LIFE. SOOTING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
WATER HEATER AND RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.
Refer to local codes and /or National Fuel Gas Code for proper air opening sizing.
UNCONFINED SPACE
1. In buildings of conventional frame, brick or stone construction, unconfined spaces may provide adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
2. 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 and ventilation must be obtained from
outdoors. This may be accomplished by piping air directly to the water heater from outside or providing opening or
ducts in the wall. The installation instructions for confined spaces in tightly constructed buildings must be followed to
ensure adequate air supply.
CONFINED SPACE
1. When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a confined space, such a space
shall be provided with two permanent openings.
The top opening is to be located within twelve (12) inches of the enclosure top and the bottom opening within
twelve (12) inches of the enclosure bottom.
Each opening shall have a free area of at least one square inch per 1000 Btu/h of the total input of all
appliances in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square inches.
2. If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion and ventilation must be obtained
from outdoors. This may be accomplished by piping air directly to the water heater from outside or providing opening
or ducts in the wall. When directly communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, two permanent openings,
located in the above manner, shall be provided.
Each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 4000 Btu/h of the total input of all
appliances in the enclosure.
If horizontal ducts are used, each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 2000
Btu/h of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure.
3. If the water heater is installed as a direct vent (outside air piped directly to the water heater), then additional opening,
other than the opening for the air intake, are not required. However, adequate ventilation air must be provided in all
cases to prevent increased room temperature.

CHEMICAL VAPOR CORROSION
Corrosion of the flue ways and vent system will occur if air for combustion contains certain chemical vapors. Such
corrosion may result in poor combustion and create a risk of asphyxiation, as well as reducing the life of the water heater.
Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium
and sodium chloride, waxes and process chemicals are corrosive. Products of this sort should not be stored near the
water heater or outside by the air intake (if applicable).
TYPICAL INSTALLATION ILLUSTRATION
CAUTION
If the building cold water supply has a back-flow preventer, check valve or water meter with check valve
provisions for thermal expansion of water in the hot water system must be provided.

SECTION V: WATER CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Failure to install and maintain a new, listed temperature and pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from
any claim, which might result from excessive temperature and pressures.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long
period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To prevent the
possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for several minutes at the
kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance, which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is
present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not
smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
Keep clear of the combination temperature and pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may be hot
enough to cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash.
CAUTION
If sweat fittings are to be used, DO NOT apply heat to the nipples in front or side of the water heater. Sweat the tubing
to the adapter before fitting the adapter to the water connections. It is imperative that heat is not applied to the nipples
containing a plastic liner.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS
1. BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting
off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the
pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are
identified on the water heater. Make the proper plumbing connections between the water heater and the plumbing
system to the house. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
2. If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as the one having a back-flow preventer in the
cold water supply, provisions must be made to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate this water heater in a
closed system without provisions for controlling thermal expansion. Warranties do not cover damages from thermal
expansion such as pressure bulges and/or deformities. Your water supplier or local plumbing inspector should be
contacted on how to control this situation.
3. After installation of the water lines, open the main water supply valve and fill the water heater. While the water heater
is filling, open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the water system. When a steady stream of water
flows through the faucets, close them and check all water connections for possible leaks.
4. Never operate the water heater without first being certain it is filled with water.
SCALDING
This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water
at any faucet in the system. Be careful whenever using
hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such
as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may
require increased temperature water. By setting the
thermostat on this water heater to obtain the increased
temperature water required by these appliances, you
might create the potential for scald injury. To protect
against injury, you should install an ASSE approved
mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce
point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot
water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available
from the local plumbing supplier. The following chart
details the relationship of water temperature and time with
regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in
determining the safest water temperature for your
applications.
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly or death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly
are at highest risk of being
scalded.
Review this instruction manual
before setting temperature
at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, contact local plumbing
supplier.

SECTION VI: VENTING
WARNING
The vent system must be properly installed. Failure to properly install the vent system could result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
DO NOT install damaged venting system components. If damage is evident then please contact the supplier where the
water heater was purchased or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.
Use only the vent terminals provided or factory authorized terminals for venting this water heater.
The water heater requires its own separate venting system. Do not connect the exhaust vent into an existing vent pipe
or chimney.
All of the exhaust venting connections must be leak checked with a soap solution upon initial start up of the water
heater. Any leaks must be repaired before continuing operation of the water heater.
Do not terminate the venting where noise from the exhaust or intake will be objectionable. This includes locations close
to or across from windows and doors. Avoid anchoring the vent and intake pipes directly to framed walls, floors, or
ceilings unless rubber isolation pipe hangers are used. This prevents any vibrations from being transmitted into the
living spaces.
Do not exceed the venting distances or the number of elbows listed in this manual. Exceeding the maximum venting
distances may cause the water heater to malfunction or cause an unsafe condition.
DO NOT operate this water heater until the venting installation is complete and the piping completed. Failure to
complete installation before operation can result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING
Risk of carbon monoxide poisoning or fire due to joint separation or pipe breakage.
This water heater must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition. DO NOT
operate water heater with the absence of an approved vent system. A clean and unobstructed vent system is
necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward
maintaining the water heater’s efficiency. The acceptance of the venting system is dependent upon full compliance with
these installation instructions.
Venting system must not pass through rated fire separations.
The venting system must be free to expand and contract. This venting system must be supported in accordance with
these instructions.

18
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
CAUTION
Check to make sure flue gases do not recirculate into the air intake terminal when using direct venting. If the water heater is
having service issues, flue recirculation may be a contributing factor. Even when the minimum vent terminal separation
distances are followed, recirculation may still occur depending upon the location outside the building, the distance from other
buildings, proximity to corners, weather conditions, wind patterns, and snow depth. Periodically check to make sure that flue
recirculation is not occurring. Signs of flue gas recirculation include frosted or frozen intake terminals, condensate in the intake
terminal and venting system, oxidation or white chalk material on the flame sensor or igniter shield. Correction to flue
recirculation may involve angling the intake away from the exhaust terminal, increasing the distance between them, relocating
the air intake to another side of the building, or using inside air for combustion. Check to be sure the intake and exhaust
terminals are not obstructed, especially during periods of below freezing weather.
All intake and exhaust venting components must have the same diameter size. Do not use a different size on the
intake and exhaust venting. For 2 inch or 4 inch venting, use the supplied 3 inch vent terminals. If a 2 inch vent terminal
is preferred, use 2 inch terminal Part Number 239-39831-00. This terminal is available from your supplier.
Be sure the condensate runs freely to a drain and does not accumulate inside the water heater. In cold climates,
precautions may need to be taken to insure that the condensate drain does not freeze. Make sure the condensate trap
or drain loop is installed to prevent flue gases from being discharged into the room. Refer to the Venting section of the
Installation and Operating Instructions Manual for complete instructions on venting and condensate drainage.
High levels of dust and debris such as road and construction dust, insects, and tree pollen may clog the burner resulting in
poor performance and damage to the water heater. Avoid air intake locations where debris can be created such as exhaust
ventilation hoods, gravel parking lots, and near outdoor spotlights that attract bugs. For these installations, an air intake filter
kit, part number 239-47330-00A, is available as an accessory service part from the installer of this water heater. The air intake
filter kit is not designed to filter out airborne contaminants or chemicals that may damage the water heater.
CAUTION
The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12 inches above expected snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent termination.
The horizontal centerline of the exhaust vent terminal (if applicable) must not be located lower than the horizontal
centerline of the air intake terminal if vented through the same wall.
A service drain loop must be installed in the drain tubing to serve as a condensate trap to prevent flue gases from
escaping into the room.
DO NOT position the air intake above the exhaust terminal.
NEVER locate the air intake where exhaust gases can be introduced.
VENTING
The venting instructions must be followed to avoid restricted combustion or recirculation of flue gases. Such
conditions cause sooting or risks of fire and asphyxiation.
This water heater can be installed as either a direct vent system or power vent (air from inside) system. If it is
installed as a direct vent system, then the air intake and the exhaust vent are piped to the outside. If a power vented
system is used, then air is drawn from inside and only the exhaust is piped to the outside. Determine which system is
best for your application and install as described in the following sections.
DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
Venting may be run horizontally through an outside wall or vertically through a roof through using either 2 inch (5.1
cm), 3 inch (7.6 cm) or 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter pipe. This water heater is supplied with a screened intake elbow
and exhaust coupling referred to as the air intake terminal and the exhaust vent terminal.
WARNING
The EF100T250 and EF100T300 models are not approved for 2 inch diameter vent pipe. Venting with 2 inch pipe on
these models may result in damage to the water heater or cause an unsafe condition. DO NOT use 2 inch Vent or Air
Intake Pipe on EF100T250/300 models.
Direct Vent Terminal Location
Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearances are maintained from plumbing and wiring. Before the vent is
installed, determine the vent pipe termination location as shown in Figure 11.

NOTICE
The air intake and exhaust terminals may be located on separate outside walls or one terminal may exit the roof while the
other is through the wall. The total combined equivalent vent length must be within the limits specified in the venting tables
and the intake length cannot exceed the exhaust by more than 30 feet. The minimum recommended vent separation distance
between the intake and exhaust terminals is 36”. Local conditions may require a need for greater vent separation distances.
NOTICE
If 4 inch pipe is used, then a use a 4 inch to 3 inch reducer fitting before exiting the wall or roof to use the supplied
screened intake and exhaust terminals. If 2 inch pipe is used, then use a 2 inch to 3 inch reducer to adapt to the 3 inch
vent terminal size. If a 2 inch vent terminal is preferred, use 2 inch terminal Part Number 239-39831-00. This terminal
is available from your supplier.

The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited in local codes or the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.73.4e and 7.8a, b as follows:
1. Do not terminate near soffit vents or crawl space or other area where condensate or vapor could create a nuisance or
hazard or cause property damage.
2. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal where condensate or vapor could cause damage or could be detrimental
to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or other equipment.
3. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area or walkways where condensate or vapor can cause
nuisance or hazard.
4. The vent shall terminate a minimum of 12 inches above expected snowfall level to prevent blockage of vent
termination.
5. The manufacturer requires the centerline distances between the air intake and exhaust vent terminals to be a
minimum of 36 inches (91.4 cm) apart and the exhaust terminal must extend 6 inches (15.2 cm) past the air intake
terminal.
Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as “vent connectors”. Required clearances
from combustible materials must be provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF WATER
HEATER and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code and local codes.
All vent pipes and terminals are to have a 1” minimum clearance to combustibles. DO NOT use the placement of
insulation or other materials in the required clearance spaces surrounding the venting to combustible material unless
otherwise specified.
Horizontal Installation:
In a horizontal application, it is important that condensate not be allowed to buildup in the exhaust vent pipe. To prevent
this from happening, the pipe should be installed with a slight upward slope so the condensate will run back toward the
water heater. The vent system must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent
pipe length.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or
venting system.
Stress levels in the pipe and fittings can be significantly increased by improper installation. If rigid pipe clamps are used
to hold the pipe in place, or if the pipe cannot move freely through a wall penetration, the pipe may be directly stressed, or
high thermal stresses may be formed when the pipe heats up and expands. Install accordingly to minimize such stresses.
Follow the following procedure for direct venting through the wall:
1. Cut two 2 ½ inch (6.4 cm) diameter holes for 2 inch (5.1 cm) diameter pipe, two 3 ½ inch (8.9 cm) diameter holes (for
3 inch (7.6 cm) diameter pipe), or two 4 ½ inch (11.4 cm) diameter holes (for 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter pipe) in the
wall with the centerline hole distances at least 36 inches (91.4 cm) apart in the location where the exhaust vent and
air intake terminals will exit the outside wall if vented on the same wall.
2. Use the proper cement to secure the exhaust vent and air intake terminals provided with the water heater to the pipes.
The distance between the back edge of the exhaust vent terminal and the exterior wall (see Figure 12) must be 6
inches (12.7 cm) more for the exhaust vent terminal than the air intake terminal. Use the proper cement or sealant
and assembly procedures to secure the vent connector joints between the terminal and the blower outlet. Provide
support brackets for every 3 feet (.91 m) of horizontal vent beyond the intake terminal.

Vertical Installation:
Vertical venting system must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent pipe
length.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or venting
system.
Stress levels in the pipe and fittings can be significantly increased by improper installation. If rigid pipe clamps are used
to hold the pipe in place, or if the pipe cannot move freely through a wall penetration, the pipe may be directly stressed, or
high thermal stresses may be formed when the pipe heats up and expands. Install accordingly to minimize such stresses.
Follow the following procedure for direct venting through the roof:
1.
Cut the necessary holes through the roof and ceiling. Cut two 2 ½ inch (6.4 cm) diameter holes for 2 inch (5.1 cm) diameter pipe,
two 3 ½ inch (8.9 cm) diameter holes (for 3 inch (7.6 cm) diameter pipe), or two 4 ½ inch (11.4 cm) diameter holes (for 4 inch
(10.2 cm) diameter pipe) in the ceiling and roof.
2.
Install the exhaust vent and air intake plastic pipes as shown in Figure 13. Make sure that the installation meets the local codes
and/or The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (Latest Edition) or CGA/CAN B149 Installation Code.

WARNING
The EF100T250 and EF100T300 models are not approved for 2 inch diameter vent pipe. Venting with 2 inch pipe on
these models may result in damage to the water heater or cause an unsafe condition. DO NOT use 2 inch Vent or
Air Intake Pipe on EF100T250/300 models.
Note: The venting distance shown in the chart above is the combined maximum distance for
the intake and exhaust pipe and elbows. The intake and exhaust vent terminals may be in
different locations (i.e., different walls or one wall, one roof) provided the intake equivalent
venting distance does not exceed the exhaust by more than 30 feet.
Determining required vent length:
1. Determine the total length of straight vent pipe (in feet) required for both the intake and the exhaust.
2. Add 5 feet of venting for every 90° elbow.
3. Add 2 ½ feet of venting for every 45° elbow.
4. Total vent length cannot exceed “Max Vent Length” in Table 3.
5. Air intake cannot exceed exhaust by more than 30 feet in any venting situation.
Example of Total Direct Vent Length for EF100T199:
A 3” venting system has a total of six 90-degree elbows and a total straight pipe length of 65 feet (includes
both intake and exhaust pipe).
Equivalent vent length for elbows: 6 x 5 feet = 30 feet.
Total equivalent vent distance = 65 feet + 30 feet = 95 feet total equivalent vent length. This is below
the maximum allowed distance of 100 feet for this model using 3” vent.
NOTICE
Do not include the 3” condensate elbow or vent terminals in determining maximum vent length.

POWER VENT INSTALLATION
Power venting is where the indoor air is used and the exhaust is vented to the outside. Venting may be run horizontally
through an outside wall or vertically through a roof through using either 2 inch (5.1 cm), 3 inch (7.6 cm) or 4 inch (10.2
cm) diameter pipe. This water heater is supplied with a 3 inch (7.6 cm) diameter screened intake elbow and exhaust
coupling referred to as the air intake terminal and the exhaust vent terminal.
Power Vent Terminal Location:
Refer to the “Direct Vent Terminal Location” section previously mentioned to determine the proper exhaust vent location.
Plan the vent system layout so that proper clearances are maintained from plumbing and wiring.
Vent pipes serving power vented appliances are classified by building codes as “vent connectors”. Required clearances
from combustible materials must be provided in accordance with information in this manual under LOCATION OF WATER
HEATER, and CLEARANCES, and with National Fuel Gas Code and local codes.
All vent pipes and terminals are to have a 1 inch minimum clearance to combustibles. DO NOT use the placement of
insulation or other materials in the required clearance spaces surrounding the venting to combustible material unless
otherwise specified.
Horizontal Installation:
In a horizontal application, it is important that condensate not be allowed to buildup in the exhaust vent pipe. To prevent
this from happening, the pipe should be installed with a slight upward slope of 1/4 inch per foot. The vent system must
be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent pipe length.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or venting
system.
Stress levels in the pipe and fittings can be significantly increased by improper installation. If rigid pipe clamps are used
to hold the pipe in place, or if the pipe cannot move freely through a wall penetration, the pipe may be directly stressed, or
high thermal stresses may be formed when the pipe heats up and expands. Install accordingly to minimize such stresses.
Follow the following procedure to vent through the wall:
1. Cut one 2 ½ inch (6.4 cm), diameter hole (for 2 inch (5.1 cm) diameter pipe), one 3 ½ inch (8.9 cm) diameter hole (for
3 inch (7.6 cm) diameter pipe) or one 4 ½ inch (11.5 cm) diameter hole (for 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter pipe).
2. Use the proper cement or sealant to secure the exhaust vent terminal provided with the water heater to the plastic
pipes. The distance between the back edge of the exhaust vent terminal and the exterior wall (see Figure 15) must
be 6 inches (13.0 cm). Use the proper cement and assembly procedures to secure the vent connector joints between
the terminal and the blower outlet. Provide support brackets for every 3 feet (1.0 m) of horizontal vent.

Vertical Installation:
Vertical venting must be supported every 5 feet of vertical run and every 3 feet of horizontal run of vent pipe length.
Stress levels in the pipe and fittings can be significantly increased by improper installation. If rigid pipe clamps are used
to hold the pipe in place, or if the pipe cannot move freely through a wall penetration, the pipe may be directly stressed, or
high thermal stresses may be formed when the pipe heats up and expands. Install accordingly to minimize such stresses.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the vent piping with hangers and clamps may result in damage to the water heater or venting
system.
Follow the following procedure to vent through the roof:
1. Cut the necessary holes through the roof and ceiling. Cut one 2 ½ inch (6.4 cm), diameter hole (for 2 inch (5.1 cm)
diameter pipe), one 3 ½ inch (8.9 cm) diameter hole (for 3 inch (7.6 cm) diameter pipe) or one 4 ½ inch (11.5 cm)
diameter hole (for 4 inch (10.2 cm) diameter pipe).
2. Install the exhaust vent and air intake plastic pipes as shown in Figure 16. Make sure that the installation meets the
local codes and/or The National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (Latest Edition) or CGA/CAN B149 Installation Code.

34
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
INITIAL PREPARATION
1. Make sure the solvent cement you are planning to use is designed for the specific application you are attempting.
2. Know the physical and chemical characteristics and limitations of the PVC, PVC cellular core, ABS or CPVC piping
materials that you are about to use.
3. Know the reputation of your pipe and cement manufacturer and their products.
4. Know your own qualifications or those of your contractor. The solvent welding technique of joining PVC, PVC cellular
core, ABS or CPVC pipe is a specialized skill just as any other pipe fitting technique.
5. Closely supervise the installation and inspect the finished job before start-up.
6. Contact the manufacturer, supplier, or competent consulting agency if you have any questions about the application
or installation of PVC, PVC cellular core, ABS or CPVC pipe.
7. Take the time and effort to do a professional job. Shortcuts will only cause you problems and delays in start-up. The
majority of failures in these systems are the result of shortcuts and/or improper joining techniques.
SAFETY PRECAUTION: PRIMERS AND CEMENTS ARE EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE AND MUST NOT BE STORED
OR USED NEAR HEAT OR OPEN FLAME. ALSO, USE ONLY IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA.

SECTION VII: GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING
Connect this water heater only to the type of gas as shown on the rating plate. Use clean black iron pipe or
equivalent material approved by local codes and ordinances. (Dirt and scale from the pipe can enter the gas valve
and cause it to malfunction). The inlet gas line must have at least a 3 inch (7.62 cm) drip leg (sediment trap)
installed as close to the water heater’s gas valve as possible. A ground joint union must be installed in the gas
supply line, as close to the water heater as possible, to permit servicing of the water heater. Compounds used on
the threaded joints of the gas piping must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas. DO
NOT apply pipe dope to the gas valve inlet and make certain that no pipe dope has become lodged in the inlet
screen of the gas valve. Extreme care must be taken to ensure no pipe dope enters the gas valve and to avoid
excessive torque when tightening the gas supply line to the gas valve. Excessive torque may result in cracking of
the gas valve housing. The suggested maximum torque is 31.5 foot lbs. (4.4 kg-m). The manufacturer of this
water heater will not be liable for any damage or injury caused as a result of a cracked gas inlet as a result of
excessive torque.
This water heater and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the water heater in operation. Check
for gas leaks with a soap and water solution and a brush or a commercial leak detector fluid.
NEVER USE A MATCH OR OPEN FLAME FOR TESTING!
The water heater is not intended for operation at higher than 14.0 inch water column (½ psi) supply gas pressure.
Higher gas supply pressures require supplemental reducing service regulation. Exposure to higher gas supply
pressure may cause damage to the gas controls, which could result in fire or explosion. If overpressure has
occurred such as through improper testing of gas lines or emergency malfunction of the supply system, the gas
valve must be checked for safe operation. Make sure that the outside vents on the supply regulators and the
safety vent valves are protected against blockage. These are parts of the gas supply system, not the water heater.
CAUTION
The water heater and individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The water heater must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The supply line must be capped when not
connected to the water heater.
If copper supply lines are used, they must be internally tinned and certified for gas service.
Figure 24. Drip Leg
The gas supply lines must meet all requirements of the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (Latest Edition), or in
Canada CAN/CGA B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code (Latest Edition) or CAN/CGA B149.2 Propane Installation Code
(Latest Edition).

GAS METER SIZE – NATURAL GASES ONLY
Be sure that the gas meter has sufficient capacity to supply the full rated gas input of the water heater as well as the
requirements of all other gas fired equipment supplied by the meter. If the gas meter is too small, ask the gas company to
install a larger meter having adequate capacity.
GAS PRESSURE REGULATION
Main line gas pressure to the water heater should be between a maximum 14.0 inch W.C. and a minimum supply
pressure as shown on the rating plate. The inlet gas pressure must not exceed the maximum value. In some
installations, a regulator sized for the input rating of the water heater will need to be installed just ahead of the inlet gas
connection to the water heater to reduce excess gas pressure or surges in gas pressure.
BEFORE PLACING THE WATER HEATER IN OPERATION, CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE. USE SOAP AND WATER
SOLUTION OR OTHER MATERIAL ACCEPTABLE FOR THE PURPOSE OF LOCATING GAS LEAKS.
WARNING
DO NOT USE MATCHES, CANDLES, FLAME OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION FOR THIS PURPOSE.

CAUTION
This water heater, when set at a lower temperature setting is not capable of producing hot water of sufficient
temperature for sanitizing purposes.
This water heater is equipped with an energy cut out device to prevent overheating. Should overheating occur or
the gas supply fails to shut off, turn off the control panel power switch to the appliance and call a qualified service
agency.
NOTICE
The lower the temperature setting, the greater the energy efficiency, both to heat the water and to maintain the
storage temperature during standby periods. Lower water temperatures also extend tank life. Remember, no
water heating system will provide exact temperatures at all times. Allow a few days of operation at this setting to
determine the correct temperature setting consistent with the requirements for the installation.
The water heater temperature setting is adjusted by using the control display mounted to control surround jacket of the
water heater. The water heater thermostat is set at the lowest setpoint of 70F (21C) when shipped from the factory.
The control display shows the temperature setpoint in degrees Fahrenheit (F) or degrees Celsius (C), and the status of
the water heater (“Idle” or “Heating”). If the water heater is functioning normally, the display will also show “Operational”.
For energy efficient operation of your water heater, the suggested initial temperature setting is 120F (49C). During the
winter season, or any cold period, you may desire a higher temperature setting to adjust for the colder incoming water.
This adjustment, however, may cause additional condensation to form on the cooler tank surface. This does not mean
the tank is leaking. During summer months, the warmer incoming water temperatures will benefit the performance of your
water heater and reduce the amount of condensation developed.
Condensation does not mean your tank is leaking. Most of reported tank leaks on installation are proven to be
condensation. To avoid unnecessary inconvenience and expense, make sure the tank is leaking before calling an
independent servicing contractor or qualified service professional.
If the water heater is to remain idle for 30 days or more or is subjected to freezing temperatures while shut off, the water
heater and piping should be fully drained and the drain valve should be left fully open. Refer to the “General Operation”
section of this Installation and Operating Instructions Manual for the procedure on draining the water heater.
DANGER
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a temperature setting of 140°F
(60°C). To protect against hot water injury, install an ASSE approved mixing valve in the water system. This valve will
reduce point of discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch water lines. A licensed plumbing
professional or local plumbing authority should be consulted.

WARNING
If the water heater display does not show “Operational” in the “Status” indicator, there may be an operating malfunction
with the water heater. If this is the case, a numeric code will be displayed. Refer to the label next to the display for the
definition of the error code and call your plumbing professional or service agent to service the water heater. Do not try
to reset the water heater without having a qualified service person to diagnose and correct the problem. If the display
is blank or does not show an error code, make sure there is power to the water heater.
Setting the water temperature to the maximum set point can result in scalding hot water delivered to the faucets. It is
highly recommended that the maximum setpoint be adjusted to the lowest temperature possible for the needs of the
installation. See following section to change the maximum setpoint limit (max setpoint). Make sure the water heater
control display is not in a public area that can result in the temperature settings being improperly adjusted. See
previous warning on scalds and an ASSE approved mixing valve.
NOTICE
When the maximum setpoint is reached, the display will show “Max Setpoint” without the setpoint value. The
maximum setting is equal to approximately 180˚F (82˚C).
The default temperature setpoint from the factory is 70˚F (21˚C).

An automatic gas shut-off device (ECO) is incorporated in the sensor and control board which will shut off all gas supply
to the burner if the water heater temperature exceeds 200°F (93°C). Should the ECO function (open), the water
temperature should be reduced to approximately 120°F (49°C) and call a qualified service agent to place the water heater
in operation. The water heater must have the problem corrected by a qualified service person before putting the water
heater back in operation. It is recommended that all service work be performed by a qualified service agency.
If the water heater is to remain idle for 30 days or more or is subjected to freezing temperatures while shut off, the water
heater and piping should be fully drained (See “To Drain the Water Heater”) and the drain valve should be left fully open.
WARNING
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that has not had water drawn from the tank for a long
period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To prevent the possibility of
injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet to be open for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before you use any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will
be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have open
flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
WARNING
Do not run out of propane gas. Damage to the water heater may occur.

FLUSHING WATER HEATER
1. Turn OFF the water heater electrical disconnect switch.
2. Open the drain valve and allow water to flow until it runs clean.
3. Close the drain valve when finished flushing.
4. Turn ON the water heater electrical disconnect switch.
DRAINING WATER HEATER
The water heater must be drained if it is to be shut down and exposed to freezing temperatures. Maintenance and service
procedures may also require draining the water heater.
1. Turn off the water heater electrical disconnect switch.
2. Connect a hose to the drain valve.
3. Locate hose’s discharge in an area where hot water will not cause any damage or injury.
4. Close the cold water inlet valve to water heater.
5. Open a nearby hot water faucet to vent the system.
6. Open the heater drain valve.
7. If the water heater is being drained for an extended shutdown, it is suggested the drain valve be left open during this
period.
FILLING WATER HEATER
1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the knob or valve stem clockwise. If alternative water connections are
provided but not used, make certain they are plugged (i.e. rear connections).
2. Open the cold water supply shut-off valve.
3. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system.
4. When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water heater is filled. Close the faucets and check for
water leaks at the water heater drain valve, combination temperature and pressure relief valve and the hot and cold
water connections.
SEDIMENT AND LIME SCALE REMOVAL
Waterborne impurities consist of the particles of soil and sand, which settle out and form a layer of sediment on the
bottom of the tank.
The amount of calcium carbonate (lime) released from water is in direct proportion to water temperature and usage. The
higher the water temperature or water usage, the more lime deposits are dropped out of the water. This is the lime scale,
which forms in pipes, water heaters and on cooking utensils.
Lime accumulation not only reduces the life of the equipment but also reduces efficiency of the water heater and
increases fuel consumption.
49
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
The usage of water softening equipment greatly reduces the hardness of the water. However, this equipment does not
always remove all of the hardness (lime). For this reason it is recommended that a regular schedule of deliming be
maintained.
The depth of the buildup should be measured periodically. Water heaters will have about 3 inches of lime buildup when
the level of lime has reached the bottom of the cleanout opening or about 1 inch of lime buildup if it has reached the drain
valve opening. A schedule for deliming should be set up, based on the amount of time it would take for a 1/2 inch buildup
of lime.
Example 1: Initial inspection shows ½ an inch of lime accumulation. Therefore, the water heater can be delimed once a
year.
To remove sediment and lime scale:
1. Drain the heater. Refer to DRAINING THE WATER instructions in this section.
2. Remove outer cover plate from lower side of water heater jacket.
3. Remove cover and gasket from cleanout opening.
4. Remove lime, scale or sediment using care not to damage the glass-lining.
5. Inspect cleanout plate gasket: Replace gasket if necessary (Contact Bradford White Local Distributor for correct
part number).
6. Install gasket and cleanout plate. Be sure to draw plate up tight by tightening screws securely.
7. Close the drain valve. Open a hot water fixture to allow air to escape. Open the cold water supply to water
heater and allow the tank to fill. Follow the lighting instructions.
8. Check for water leakage.
9. Install outer jacket cover plate.
ANODE INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
This water heater is equipped with multiple sacrificial anodes. Anodes protect the glass-lined tank from corrosion by
sacrificing themselves through electrolysis. When the anode material is consumed, there is no more protection and
corrosion of the tank accelerates.
Inspection of the anode every 6 months allows you to identify the rate of anode degradation. The anode should be
replaced when its diameter is 3/8 of an inch, or annually whichever is first. Aggressive, very hot and softened water
causes rapid consumption of the anode requiring frequent inspections. The replacement anodes rods are available from
your Bradford White distributor.
To inspect or replace an anode:
The anodes on this water heater are easily accessible from the top of the water heater making replacement simple and
quick. Use the following procedure to remove and inspect the anodes.
1. Drain the heater. Refer to DRAINING THE WATER HEATER instructions in this section.
2. Flush the heater. Refer to FLUSHING THE WATER HEATER instructions in this section.
3. Remove the combustion surround top by unlatching.
4. Remove the second pass access cover. (If equipped)
5. Remove the second pass insulation.
6. Remove the second pass collector cover.
7. Remove the anode using a socket of the appropriate size. Sometimes a breaker bar will need to be used. Do not use
an impact wrench.
8. Inspect and replace the anode as required. Use pipe tape or sealant when reinstalling the anode.
9. Close the drain valve. Open a hot water fixture to allow air to escape. Open the cold water supply to water heater
and allow the tank to fill.
10. Check your anode and drain valve for leaks.
11. Replace second pass collector cover. Make sure to clean off any sealant and reseal before fastening.
12. Replace second pass insulation.
13. Replace second pass access cover.
14. Replace combustion surround top and latch it securely in place.
15. Follow the lighting instructions.
WARNING
Do not run out of propane gas. Damage to the water heater may occur.

DRAIN VALVE AND TANK ACCESS PANEL
The water heaters are equipped with a ¾ inch drain valve.
An access panel covers the cleanout opening in the tank, which is sealed by a gasket and cover.
RELIEF VALVE
At least twice a year, the temperature and pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure that it is in operating
condition. To check the relief valve, lift the lever at the end of the valve several times. The valve should seat properly and
operate freely.
If water does not flow, remove and inspect for obstructions or corrosion. Replace with a new valve of the recommended
size as necessary. A thorough inspection of the valve should be performed at least every three years by removing the
temperature and relief valve from the tank. Do not attempt to repair the valve, as this could result in improper operation
and a tank explosion. In areas with poor water conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the T&P valve more often than
the recommended maintenance schedule
CAUTION
Before manually operating the valve, make sure that a drain line has been attached to the valve to direct the discharge
to an open drain. Failure to take this precaution could mean contact with extremely hot water passing out the valve
during this checking operation.
If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the water heater discharges periodically or continuously, it may be due to
thermal expansion of water in a closed water supply system, or, it may be due to a faulty relief valve.
Thermal expansion is the normal response of water when it is heated. In a closed system, thermal expansion will cause
the system pressure to build until the relief valve actuation pressure is equaled. Then, the relief valve will open, allowing
some water to escape, slightly lowering the pressure.
Contact your water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.
WARNING
Above all, do not plug the temperature and pressure relief valve. This is not a solution and can create a hazardous
situation.
VENT AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM
Examine the vent and air intake system every 3 months. Points of inspection are as follows:
1. Check for obstructions and/or deterioration of vent piping and vent terminal. Replace immediately where needed.
2. Vent pipe and vent terminal screen should be cleaned of any foreign material. The screen is located inside the vent
terminal outlet and is accessible from the outside of the vent terminal elbow. Do not reach inside the vent terminal
when the water heater is in operation.
3. Check all venting system connections for leakage and reseal as required.
COMBUSTION SYSTEM INSPECTION
Inspect the operation of the combustion system monthly. Use the following procedure to inspect the combustion system.
1. Turn off the main power switch of the water heater.
2. Adjust the thermostat to the Min. setting.
3. Remove the top of the combustion surround by unlatching it.
4. While observing the ignition module, turn on the main power switch.
5. Adjust thermostat to the Max. setting.
6. Watch the LED’s light as the controller goes through the S-OP as previously described.
7. Upon ignition, observe the main burner flame.
8. Readjust thermostat to previous setting.
9. Replace combustion surround top and latch it securely in place.

SECTION XI: DIAGNOSTIC AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
DIRECT SPARK HONEYWELL INTEGRATED CONTROL SYSTEM
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
1. When the tank temperature drops below the temperature setpoint on the display, the control sends power to the
combustion blower for a 30 second pre-purge period.
2. At the end of the pre-purge period, the control sends high voltage through the spark cable to the spark rod to spark to
the burner. The gas valve also opens. If the burner lights, a microamp current is generated through the flame sense
rod allowing the control to detect burner flame. The sparking then ceases and the flame is monitored by the flame
sense circuit until the tank temperature reaches the thermostat setpoint and turns off the gas valve.
3. If the burner fails to light, the gas valve closes, sparking to the burner stops, and the combustion blower continues to
operate for 60 seconds to purge the heat exchanger of unburned gas. The ignition trial is repeated. The control will
make 3 attempts to ignite the burner. If the burner fails to light after the third attempt, the control enters “Soft
Lockout”, which is an idle period for 60 minutes. There will be an error code 62 or 63 shown on the water heater
display indicating that the control cycled through the maximum number of ignition retries for ignition. The control will
make another 3 ignition attempts after the 1 hour waiting period.
4. If the exhaust vent terminal should become blocked or the condensate drain becomes plugged, the exhaust vent
pressure switch will open and the gas valve closes. The combustion blower will continue to operate. An error code
29 is shown on the water heater display. Removing the blockage will resume normal operation.
5. The burner flame is monitored by the flame sense circuit and if the flame should extinguish, the gas valve closes and
the combustion blower will operate to purge the heat exchanger before making an attempt to relight the burner. There
may be 3 attempts to relight the burner before going into the Soft Lockout period explained previously.
6. The burner will continue to operate during the heating cycle until the tank temperature reaches the setpoint. The gas
valve opens and the combustion blower continues to operate for 30 seconds to purge the heat exchanger of flue
gases.
7. If for some reason, the tank temperature should exceed 200°F (93°C), then the control closes the gas valve and goes
into a “Hard Lockout” state and will not operate until reset by a qualified service person. The display will read error
code “65”, which indicates the tank high limit temperature has been exceeded. No attempt should be made to reset
the control until a service person has corrected the cause of the high limit condition. Refer to the diagnostic service
section at the end of this Installation and Operating Instruction Manual.

How to reset the control from Lockout Conditions:
WARNING
The following procedure is for service and installation personnel only. Resetting lockout conditions without correcting
the malfunction can result in a hazardous condition.
If an error code is displayed (except for #4, low flame sense current), the water heater will be in a “lockout condition” with
the water heater display showing the error code number and “Service Needed” in the status section of the display window.
Error codes 62 (maximum number of retries detected) and 63 (maximum number if ignition recycles detected) are “Soft
Lockouts” in which the control can be reset in the “User Mode” by pressing the lower right button under “Lockout Reset”
shown in the lower right portion of the display. The control will also go through 3 attempts to relight the burners every
hour in the soft lockout condition.

Burner is either not lighting or not staying lit during ignition cycle. Check inlet
gas pressure for minimum pressure on rating label. Can you hear sparking to
the burner? Check high voltage cable connections. Check inlet gas pressure
to the gas valve making sure the pressure is within the limits specified on the
rating label. Check gas valve wire harness for broken wires or shorts. Check
outlet gas pressure. If 24 volts is present to the terminals at the gas valve,
replace gas valve. Check for voltage output to the blue gas valve wires on the
control board pins. If during the ignition trial period, there is no voltage present
at the control board pin terminals for the blue wires leading to the gas valve,
then replace the control board. Replace spark rod if insulator is damaged or
rod is loose. Check to make sure combustion blower is operating when
thermostat calls for heat. If blower is not running check for 120 volts to blower
harness and then at blower pin connections. Replace control, wire harness, or
blower if defective. Check to make sure vent terminals are clear of debris or
snow and ice. Make sure the condensate drain flows freely.

Procedure for Checking Thermostat Sensors
Set the thermostat above water temperature (See temperature adjustment section) and observe system through one (1)
complete cycle. Make sure system operates as desired.
To check the sensor assembly, compare the resistance of the sensor wires (either outside black to center wire with yellow
marking) as measured by an ohmmeter to the water temperature as measured by an accurate thermometer. Thermistor
resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The tables below show the correct sensor resistance at various
temperatures. Both thermistors in the sensor assembly should have approximately the same readings. Replace the
sensor if the ohm reading in the chart does not approximate the reading from the sensor at the temperature measured in
the tank. Use a thermometer or thermocouple to measure the temperature from the hot water outlet or T&P valve.
