Equipment BaseThe heater should be mounted on a level, structurallysound surface. The heater is approved for installationon a combustible surface but must NEVER beinstalled on carpeting. Gas-fueled equipment installedin enclosed parking garages must be located at least18 in. above the floor.In addition, the heater shall be installed such that thegas ignition system components are protected fromwater (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during applianceoperation or service (circulator replacement, controlreplacement, etc.).If the heater needs to be secured to the ground, usethe brackets that were used to bolt the heater to theshipping pallet.ClearancesIndoor InstallationsFor ease of servicing, provide a minimum clearance ofat least 24 in. on the right side, 24 in. in front, at least36 in. on the rear and 10 in. above the top of theheater. This will allow the heater to be serviced in itsinstalled location without movement or removal of theheater.8HeaterSideMinimum Clearancefrom CombustibleSurfacesMinimumServiceClearanceFloor* 0” 0”Rear 12” 36”Right Side 1” 24”Left Side 1” 1”Top 0” 10”Front Open 24”Vent 1” 1”Table C: Clearances – Indoor InstallationsINSTALLATIONINSTALLATIONInstallation CodesInstallations must follow these codes:• Local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,regulations and ordinances• National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 –latest edition (NFGC)• National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 - latestedition (NEC)• Standard for Controls and Safety Devices forAutomatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1,(CSD-1) when required• For Canada only: CAN/CSA B149 Natural Gasand Propane Installation Code and CSA C22.1C.E.C. Part 1 (C22.1)The temperature of the water in the heater can be reg-ulated by using the Raypak Modulating TemperatureControl. To comply with safety regulations, the controlis set at 120°F when shipped from the factory (Mode 3default setting for Tank Target).To adjust the water temperature, follow the instructionfor the operation of the control starting on page 31 ofthis manual. The control is shown below for identifica-tion purposes only. (See Fig. 4.)CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk ofscalding! There is a hot water scald potential if thethermostat is set too high.Fig. 4: Modulating Temperature Control*DO NOT install on carpeting.CAUTION: This heater should be located in anarea where water leakage will not result in damageto the area adjacent to the appliances or to thestructure. When such locations cannot be avoided, itis recommended that a suitable catch pan,adequately drained, be installed under theappliance. The pan must not restrict air flow.California Hot Water Supply, Inc.(800) 249-72448
