Installing the SH22 Water Heater
Location
The SH22 water heater is for OUTDOOR
installation ONLY! Please refer to the SH22i
section of this manual for installation of
the indoor version of this product.
Make sure before installation that the gas
type you will use is the same type on the
data plate.
The water heater unit should be installed
by professionals from your local gas
company. Please don't attempt installation
by yourself. Improper installation may
cause failure or dangerous conditions such
as gas leaking or explosion.
This water heater is an outdoor model and
must be mounted on a vertical wall. It must
not be installed indoors or in a confined
space. The water heater should be installed
close to the most frequently used outlet
and its position chosen with safety and
service in mind.
Make sure people (particularly children,
disabled, and elderly) will not touch the
hot water outlet or the flue terminal. The
flue terminal and air inlet must be clear of
obstruction and shrubbery.
If installed in a public corridor, please assure
that the surrounding area is free of debris,
obstruction and flammable materials.
The unit must be installed on a fire retardant
area, and must be away from all flammable
materials. Clearance should be 10 ft to the
left and right side of flammable materials,
and 6.75 ft to the front.
The unit should be installed in open area
where strong currents are not prevalent
This unit is of high power and will consume a
lot of oxygen when working, so the installation
area must be well ventilated, and air in and
out of the area has no blockage.
The outdoor unit should not be installed in a
corridor with rooms on the both sides or in
the closed corridor.
Take measures to avoid direct wind, rain
and snow. The installation area should be
constructed of fire retardant materials. The
power socket connecting the water heater
should be properly grounded.
