air supply and flue pipe installation are

very important. If a gas appliance is not

installed correctly, fatal accidents can

result such as carbon monoxide

poisoning or fire.

Warning: Exhaust gas must be vented

to outside using approved vent material

See table 2, page 10 (For Canada use

only ULCS636 approved material).

Vent and combustion air connector

piping must be sealed gas-tight to

prevent possibility of flue gas spillage,

carbon monoxide emissions and risk of

fire, resulting in severe personal injury

or death. Approved vent terminators

must be used when penetrating to the

outside.

Warning: Place the heater in a location

where water leaks will do NO DAMAGE

to adjacent areas or lower floors.

Warning: Field wiring connections and

electrical grounding must comply with

local codes, or in the absence of local

codes, with the latest edition of the

National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,

or in Canada, all electrical wiring must

comply with the local codes and the

Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1

Part 1.

2.4 General rules to follow for safe

operation

B1. You must follow these instructions when you

install your heater. In the United States: The

installation must conform with local codes or, in the

absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code

ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

In Canada: The Installation must conform with CSA

B149.(1,2) INSTALLATION CODES and /or local

installation codes.

B2. Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correct

combustion air supply and vent pipe installation are

very important. If not installed correctly, fatal

accidents can occur, such as carbon monoxide

poisoning or fire.

B3. When the unit is installed indoors and ROOM

SEALED (twin pipe) it is permitted to be located in

bathrooms, bedrooms and occupied rooms that are

normally kept closed. See chapter 3.3 (page 10). If

the unit will be installed indoors and use indoor

combustion air, the place where you install the heater

must have enough ventilation. The National Fuel

Gas Codes do not allow UNSEALED gas fired

water heater installations in bathrooms,

bedrooms or any occupied rooms normally

kept closed. See chapter 3.4 (page 24).

B4. You must correctly vent your heater. See

chapter 3.3 (page 10) on VENTING.

B5. The appliance and its gas connection must be leak

tested before placing the appliance in operation.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply

piping system by closing its individual manual gas

shutoff valve (not supplied with heater) during any

pressure testing at pressures in excess of ½ Psig

(3.5 kPa).

B6. Keep water heater area clear and free from

combustibles and flammable liquids. Do not locate

the heater over any material which might burn.

B7. Correct gas pressure is critical for the proper

operation of this heater. Gas piping must be sized to

provide the required pressure at the maximum output

of the heater, while all the other gas appliances are in

operation. Check with your local gas supplier, and

see the section on connecting the gas supply. See

chapter 3.8 (page 26).

B8. Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to

shut off, turn off the gas supply at the manual gas

shut off valve, on the gas line. Note: manual gas

shutoff valve is not supplied with the heater but must

be field installed.

B9. Do not use this appliance if any part has been

underwater. Immediately call a qualified service

technician to inspect the appliance and to replace

any part of the control system and any gas control

which has been underwater.

B10. Failure to install heater correctly may lead to

unsafe operation and void the warranty.

installation:

• Manometer

• Multi-meter

• Combustion Gas Analyzer.

3.2 Introduction

Please follow these instructions. Failure to follow

instructions may result in:

BDamage or injury.

BImproper operation.

BLoss of warranty.

3.3 Venting

3.3.1 Vent material

All combustion air and vent pipe materials and fittings

must comply with the following:

For specific questions concerning vent material,

specifications, usage or installation, please

contact the vent manufacturer directly.

All vent connections must be glued, except for the

exhaust accessory (see section 3.3.4) which is

screwed into place on the top of the appliance. Slide

the vent pipe into the exhaust accessory. The exhaust

pipe must be properly supported and must be pitched

a minimum of a ¼ inch per foot back to the appliance.

This allows the condensate to drain properly.

An optional concentric vent/air intake termination can

be used for the installation of a vertical or horizontal

venting system. (see Fig. 8).

The concentric vent/air intake body can be ordered

from your local wholesaler. (Part# 196016).

The appliance can also be installed with separate air

intake and exhaust piping (see Fig. 11, Fig. 18 and Fig.

19, page 18).

Warning: The water heater must be

installed by a qualified installer in

accordance with these instructions. If

improperly installed, a hazardous condition

such as explosion or carbon monoxide

poisoning could result. Bosch

Thermotechnology Corp. is not

responsible for improperly installed

appliances.

Common installation practice is to

first determine the venting/

combustion air point of termination,

then design the piping layout back to

the heater.

Warning:

BDo not reduce the exhaust or

combustion air vent pipe sizes.

BDo not common vent with any other

vented appliance or stove.

BDo not use Type-B vent as the actual

exhaust vent system for the appliance.

Warning: Failure to vent the exhaust

gases to the outside (see Table 2 for

proper material) may result in

dangerous flue gases filling the

structure in which it is installed.

Warning: In areas where outside

temperatures routinely come close to

freezing, sealed combustion operation

is required. Concentric termination or

separate terminations for combustion

and vent, must be installed on the same

wall or roof surface; however, never

facing the direction of prevailing winds.

Failure to do so may result in heat

exchanger freezing and bursting. This

failure is not covered under the

manufacturer's warranty.

Warning: Protect the exhaust and inlet

from leaves and debris by installing a

screen on the end of the terminator.

¼" mesh minimum opening

recommended on screen.
