Selecting heater location
Before proceeding, read the water heater installation manual. If the
information in that manual is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or
poisoning by carbon monoxide may result causing property damage,
personal injury or death.
▶ Choose an outside wall for the installation. Installation on a wall
protected by an overhang above is recommended.
▶ Size the water and gas connections according to the instructions in
the water heater installation manual. Use unions when connecting
both water lines and gas supply line to the heater.
Minimum clearances
If the appliance is installed under an overhang, there must be a 36"
clearance from the top of the appliance and the mounting area must be
open in front and on the sides of the appliance.

▶ The installation method of the mounting bracket will depend on the
type of mounting surface. Due to the varieties of building siding or
surfacing, the installer must decide on how best to support and level
the heater on an outside wall. It is recommended that horizontal or
vertical support boards or plywood sheathing (1/2" minimum) first
be attached to the wall surface. The heater must also be kept level on
the wall surface.

WARNING:
▶ Do not mount heater directly to vinyl siding. With
vinyl siding, a 3½ ' x 4' area of the siding must first be
removed and then replaced with wood or other non-
plastic material. See fig. 15.
