VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS The flue/chimney design should avoid the formation of excessive quantities of condensate and for this The heater must have both ventilation and reason it is recommended that all chimneys are combustion air. Safe and efficient operation of the suitably insulated and lined.
GAS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS Honeywell Gas Valve Gas piping must have a manual shut-off valve located Burner Pressure outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be adjustment tested after installation in accordance with local codes. CAUTION: The heater and its manual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 150mbar (2.2psi).
PLUMBING FOR WATER CONNECTIONS LEFT SIDE WATER CONNECTION CONVERSION 185, 265 & 405 Models Only There are two ways of achieving the connection conversion. Removal and turning of the heat exchanger or, swapping of the headers. Generally swapping headers is easier and this process is described here. 1.
