(If the distance between the two units is too great, not only will the cord not be able to reach, but the water temperature may also become unstable because of the difference in pipe length between the two units).
Before Installation DANGER Checkup WARNING Precautions on Vent Pipe Replacement before reusing. Snow Precaution Check the Gas correct type of gas. 180,000 Btuh. Check the Power Use Extreme Caution if Using With a Solar Pre-Heater possibly scalding. If absolutely necessary, use mixing valves to ensure output temperatures do CAUTION Do Not Use Equipment for Purposes Other Than Those Specified may occur as a result.
Choosing Installation Site to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air flow. DANGER Locate the vent terminal so that there are no obstacles around the termination and so that exhaust can't accumulate.
