Do not install any damaged vent-air intake system components.
Contact the manufacturer of the water heater for replacement parts.
IMPORTANT
When the following instructions specify, to seal a vent-air intake joint,
use only Loctite Ultra Blue 587 RTV Silicone sealant. A tube of Loctite
Ultra Blue 587 RTV Silicone sealant is supplied with 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 six

inner four (4) inch (10.2 cm) diameter components.
WARNING
The vent-air intake terminal must be installed through an outside wall
in a horizontal position. This direct vent water heater is not designed
for through the roof vertical venting.
