PURGING

Gas line purging is required with new piping or systems in which air has
entered.

CAUTION

PURGING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY PERSONS EXPERIENCED
IN THIS TYPE GAS SERVICE. TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION, PURGE DISCHARGE MUST NOT ENTER CONFINED
AREAS OR SPACES WHERE IGNITION CAN OCCUR. THE AREA
MUST BE WELL VENTILATED AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION MUST
BE INACTIVATED OR REMOVED.

GAS METER SIZE — NATURAL GASES ONLY

Be sure the gas meter has suffi cient capacity to supply the full rated gas
input of the water heater as well as the requirements of all other gas fi red
equipment supplied by the meter. If gas meter is too small, ask the gas
company to install a larger meter having adequate capacity.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

The gas pressure regulator is built into the gas valve and is equipped to
operate on the gas specifi ed on model and rating plate. The regulator is
factory adjusted to deliver gas to burner at correct water column pressure
allowing for a nominal pressure drop through the controls.

The minimum gas supply pressure for input adjustment must not be less
than 6" w.c. (1.49 kPa) for natural gas.

Do not subject the combination gas valve to inlet gas pressures of more
than 14.0" w.c. (3.48 kPa) - natural gas. A service regulator is necessary
if higher gas pressures are encountered.

Gas pressure specifi ed in Table 5, refer to fl ow pressure taken at pressure
tap of automatic gas valve while heater is operating.

OPERATION

It is recommended that a qualifi ed person perform the initial fi ring of the
heater. At this time the user should not hesitate to ask the individual any
questions which he may have in regard to the operation and maintenance
of the unit.

TO OPERATE THE HEATER

1. Close the heater drain valve (Figure 1) by turning handle clockwise

.

2. Open a nearby hot water faucet to permit the air in the system to

escape.

3. Fully open the cold water inlet pipe valve (Figure 1) allowing the heater

and piping to be fi lled.

4. Close the hot water faucet as water starts to fl ow.

5. The heater is ready to be operated.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE WATER HEATER WITH COLD
WATER INLET VALVE CLOSED.

NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS
FILLED WITH WATER AND A TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE IS INSTALLED IN THE RELIEF VALVE OPENING OF THE HEATER.

TABLE 5 MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF PIPE IN

CUBIC FEET PER HOUR

BEFORE PLACING THE HEATER IN OPERATION, CHECK FOR GAS
LEAKAGE.

Use soap and water solution or other material acceptable for

the purpose in locating the leaks.

DO NOT USE MATCHES, CANDLES,

FLAME OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION FOR THIS PURPOSE.

FIGURE 5. GAS PIPING AND SEDIMENT TRAP INSTALLATION

DISCONNECT THE HEATER AND ITS MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF VALVE
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY SUPPLY
PRESSURE TESTING EXCEEDING 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa). GAS SUPPLY
LINE MUST BE CAPPED WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE HEATER
FOR TEST PRESSURES OF 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa) OR LESS. THE WATER
HEATER NEED NOT BE DISCONNECTED, BUT MUST BE ISOLATED
FROM THE SUPPLY PRESSURE TEST BY CLOSING THE MANUAL GAS
SHUTOFF VALVE.
