Bradford White EF-100T-399-3X - Manual (Page 78)

Product Handling - Carefully uncrate the heater. Move in place with a hand truck (Do not use the
venting pipes for handles).
Electrical Requirements - Make sure there is 120 volts line voltage. Line voltage must be properly
polarized. Adequate ground supplied to the heater.
Venting Requirements - All venting must stay within the required lengths and diameter (see table
below). Proper support of the venting pipe is a MUST (every 5ft vertical and 3ft horizontal).
Termination must be located to prevent re-circulation of flue gases. Medium to long sweep 90°
elbows or straight exhaust terminal coupling recommended.
Gas Requirements - Gas piping sized adequately, ¾" or larger to heater or 1" or larger for
EF100T399 models. Install a properly sized regulator (if unknown, assure an adequate volume of
gas is available). 7" W.C. is required when the unit is running. Gas pressure must stay below 14"
W.C. static pressure. Pressure drops between static pressure and operating flow should be less
than 3" W.C.
Condensate Requirements - Condensate line needs to slope to a drain at a minimum of ¼" per
foot. Make sure the condensate line does not have the potential to freeze. If using more than one
heater and using a common condensate line, make sure the condensate line is properly sized.
Service/Mechanical Room - Provide adequate space for servicing heater. Leave room to get to the
top and bottom pressure switches as well as enough overhead room to remove the anode rods for
servicing (18" min.).
Vent tables
Note: each 3" & 4" 90° Elbow is equivalent to 5 feet of
straight pipe.
Note: each 3" & 4" 45° Elbow is equivalent to 2.5 feet of
straight pipe.

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.
