Service Notes - Blower Flange & Blower Adapter Gaskets.
Whenever the blower or burner is removed for service DO NOT overtighten the machine
screws that hold the blower flange to the blower adapter (page 12) or the blower adapter to
the water heater tank (above). Torque on these screws should not exceed 40 inch lbs.
If these mounting screws are overtightened the gaskets will be squeezed and deformed
from their natural shape. This can partially block the flow of the fuel air mixture and cause
rough starting, rough operation and ignition failure.
If these gaskets are deformed from overtightening the mounting screws it can also lead to
gasket leakage. Hot flue gases leaking from these points can burn up wiring, igniters, and
other components.
