SBN71-120 thru 85-390, SBD30-150/199 TANK TYPE COMMERCIAL GAS WATER HEATER SERVICE HANDBOOK REQUIRED EXTERIOR CLEARANCES The illustration below shows the required clearances for venting units using natural draft venting. The vent must extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through a roof of a building and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet (for vents of 12 inches in diameter or less).

SBN71-120 thru 85-390, SBD30-150/199 TANK TYPE COMMERCIAL GAS WATER HEATER SERVICE HANDBOOK CONTAMINATED AIR Along with adequate make-up air, the quality of the air is important. Contaminants in combustion air can lead to premature heater failure. Vapors from bleaches, soaps, waxes, salts, etc. are drawn into the combustion chamber with the make-up air and, once fired, mix with water vapor in the gases to form extremely corrosive hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid and other corrosive by-products.

The manifold gas pressure is measured at the manifold pressure tap of the gas valve when the gas is flowing. Gas valves used are 24 volt AC combination-step opening gas valves. They incorporate the main valve and gas pressure regulator into one body. The Low Gas Pressure S
