WARNING
The vent-air intake system must be properly installed. Failure to
properly install the vent-air intake system could result in property
damage, personal injury or death.
Do not install any damaged vent-air intake system components.
Contact the manufacturer of the water heater for replacement parts.
IMPORTANT
The water heater must be located close enough to the outside wall to
keep the venting distance within the maximum distance described in this
supplemental instruction manual. Note: The direct vent-air intake
terminal must be installed on a vertical wall. Read the following
instructions before installing the water heater.
IMPORTANT
When the following instructions specify, to seal a vent-air intake joint, use
only Permatex Ultra Blue RTV Silicone sealant. A tube of Permatex Ultra
Blue RTV Silicone sealant is supplied with every direct vent water heater
and each optional vent-air intake kit. Make sure that all joints are
completely sealed. When drilling pilot holes for the #8 sheet metal screws
through the five (5) inch (12.7 cm) diameter components, be careful not to
drill into the inner three (3) inch (7.6 cm) diameter components.
