    Installation instructions
    3.4 Combustion air requirements
    Twin pipe and Concentric pipe 
    The  water  heater  is  designed  as  a  sealed  combustion 
    appliance.  It  is  recommended  that  the  combustion  ai
    r
    be  provided  by  a  dedicated  3”  or  4”  pipe  from  the
    outside (twin pipe) or by connecting to the Concent ric
    vent  kit  (see  Fig. 8).  The  combustion  air  pipe  may  b e
    PVC  or  any  other  rigid  sealed  3  or  4  pipe.  The
    combustion  air  piping  must  pitch  down  1/4  inch  per
    foot  towards  termination  to  prevent  rain  water  from
    entering  the  appliance.  In  twin  pipe  penetrations,  the
    combustion  air  inlet,  whether  terminating  verticall y  or
    horizontally,  must  be  located  in  such  a  manner  as
    to  provide  a  minimum  3  foot  clearance  from  the
    exhaust vent terminator.  See Fig. 9 and  10 Letter I,
    page 14.
    For  the  maximum  length  of  the  combustion  air
    pipe, see Tables  5 & 6.
    Single pipe 
    Note:  This  appliance  requires  9950  cubic  feet  of
    available  combustion  air,  or  a  minimum  of  1243 
    square  feet  of  space  with  an  8  foot  ceiling  to
    operate.  If  the  large  amount  of  air  space,  which
    equates  to  about  half  of  most  average  sized
    homes,  is  not  available,  the  appliance  must  pull
    air from the outside (see twin pipe above).
    Although  it  is  permissible  to  draw  combustion  air  f rom
    the  inside,  it  is  not  the  manufacturer’s  recommende d
    installation method. Always install a 3 inch 90 ° el bow on
    the  top  of  the  combustion  air  inlet  adaptor  to  prev ent
    foreign objects from falling into the unit.
    If  a  single  pipe  installation  is  utilized,  follow  g uidelinesbelow  for  providing  adequate  combustion  air  for  the
    water  heater  as  well  as  any  other  appliances  that  m
    ay
    consume  air  in  the  same  space.  Always  follow  local
    codes if they are more stringent and regulations. • Appliances located in unconfined spaces: – a)  An  unconfined  space  is  one  whose  volume  is
    greater than 50 cubic feet (1.42 cubic meter) per 
    1000  Btu  per  hour  (292.81  Watts)  of  the
    combined  rating  of  all  appliances  installed  in  the
    space.  That  would  be  9950  cubic  feet  (281.8
    cubic meters) for the water heater alone.
    – b)  In  unconfined  spaces  in  buildings  of conventional  frame,  masonry,  or  metal
    construction, infiltration air is normally adequate  to
    provide air for combustion.
    • Appliances located in confined spaces:
    The confined space must be provided with two per-
    manent openings, one commencing within 12 inches 
    (304.8mm) of the top and one commencing within 
    12 inches (304.8mm) of the bottom of the enclosure.  
    Each opening must have a minimum free area of one 
    square inch per: 
    – 1000 Btu/hr (292.81 Watts) if all air is taken fro m
    inside the building
    – 2000 Btu/hr (585.62 Watts) if all air is taken fro m
    the outside by horizontal ducts
    – 4000 Btu/hr (1171.24 Watts)if all air is taken fro m
    the outside by direct openings or vertical ducts
    Or  the  confined  space  must  be  provided  with  one 
    permanent  opening  or  duct  that  is  within  12  inches
    (304.8mm) of the ceiling of the enclosure. This ope ning
    must have a minimum free area of one square inch pe r:
    – 3000 Btu/hr (878.43 Watts)  if all air is taken fr om
    the outside by a direct opening or vertical duct.
    Louvers, grills and screens have a blocking effect,  when
    used, increase the sizes of your openings by 300% f or
    wood louvers (as wood type will reduce the free air  by
    75%)  and 43%  for  metal louvers  (as  metal  will  reduc e
    the  free  air  by  30%).  Refer  to  the  National  Fuel  Ga s
    Code  for  complete  information.  In  buildings  of  tigh t
    construction all air should be taken from outside.
    Warning:  In  areas  where  outside
    temperatures  routinely  come  close  to 
    freezing,  sealed  combustion  operation
    is  required.  Use  a  concentric
    termination or separate terminations for
    combustion  and  vent,  which  must  be
    installed  on  the  same  wall  or  roof
    surface,  however  never  facing  the
    direction  of  prevailing  winds.  Failure  to
    do  so  may  result  in  heat  exchanger
    freezing  up  and  bursting.  This  failure  is
    not  covered  under  the  manufacturers
    warranty. 
    Warning:  When  installed  in  an
    environment where corrosive chemicals 
    or dirty air (e.g. hair salons, car washes)
    are  present  the  twin  pipe  system  is
    required.
    Warning:  Terminations  must  prevent
    rain  and  debris  from  entering  the 
    combustion air and exhaust vent piping.

    Installation instructions25
    3.5 Proper location for installing your heater
    Carefully  select  the  location  of  the  water  heater.  For
    your  safety  and  for  proper  heater  operation,  you  mu st
    provide  combustion  air  to  the  heater  and  a  proper 
    exhaust vent system.
    Follow the guidelines below: B 1.  Locate  the  heater  where  venting,  gas  and
    plumbing connections are feasible and convenient.
    B 2.  The  hot  water  lines  should  be  kept  short  and
    insulated to save energy. Centrally locating the wa ter
    heater  is  recommended  to  keep  hot  water 
    distribution times even throughout the structure.
    3.6 Heater placement and clearances
    The  water  heater  design  is  approved  for
    installation on a combustible wall (see  chapter 3.7
    Mounting  installation)  provided  the  floor
    covering below the heater is noncombustible.  
    For  installations  in  an  alcove  or  closet,  maintain  the
    minimum  clearances  to  combustible  and  non-
    combustible materials. See Fig. 7, page 9.
    3.7 Mounting installation
    If wall is sheathed with plaster or drywall, it is  recom-
    mended that two support boards, either 1”x4” or 1/2  
    (minimum) plywood first be attached across a pair o f 
    studs, see Fig. 26, page 26. B Secure the wall mounting bracket provided with the 
    heater  to  a  wall  surface.  The  heater  must  be  kept
    level on the wall surface, see Fig. 27, page 26.
    B Hang the appliance on the bracket, see Fig. 28, pag e 
    27.
    Fig. 26 Distance between support boards
    Warning:  The  water  in  this  water
    heater is cold and always remains cold 
    except for the times the burner is on. In
    the  event  of  power  outage  in
    conjunction with freezing temperatures,
    it  is  recommended  that  the  heater  be
    drained.
    See chapter 6.2, page 41 “Winterizing”
    for draining instructions.
    Warning:  Flammable  materials,
    gasoline, pressurized containers, or any 
    other items or articles that are potential
    fire hazards must NOT be placed on or
    adjacent  to  the  heater.  The  appliance
    area  must  be  kept  free  of  all
    combustible  materials,  gasoline  and
    other flammable vapors and liquids.
    Warning:  before  mounting  appli- 
    ance: B Check  that  there  are  no  loose  or 
    damaged
     parts  inside  the  appli-
    ance
    B Confirm  that  the  gas  type  of  the 
    heater matches the gas supply you
    will  be  connecting  the  heater,  See
    Fig. 2, page 6.
    i
    Front  cover  should  be  removed  (see 
    instructions on page 7) in order to inspect
    components visually.
    Warning:  Do  not  install  this  appliance
    on a carpeted wall. The heater must be 
    mounted  on  a  wall  using  appropriate
    anchoring materials.
    Warning:  In  areas  where  outside
    temperature is routinely below 32°F and 
    the heater is to be installed on the inside
    of an exterior wall, a minimum 2 air gap
    or  rigid  insulation  between  the  heater
    back and the wall is recommended.

    Before  connecting  the  gas  supply,  check  the  rating 
    plate on the right side of the heater to be sure th
    at the
    heater  is  rated  for  the  same  gas  to  which  it  will  b e
    connected.
    In the United States: The installation must conform  with
    local  codes  or,  in  the  absence  of  local  codes,  the
    National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
    In Canada: The Installation must conform to CGA B14 9
    INSTALLATION  CODES  and/or  local  installation
    codes. 
    GAS CONNECTIONS B Install a manual gas shut off valve on the gas supp ly
    line within easy reach of the appliance.
    B Install a union when connecting gas supply.
    B The  minimum  internal  diameter  required  for 
    any  appliance  connector  is  ¾”,  see  Fig.  31  for
    more details on pipe sizing.
    B Undersized flexible appliance connector not permit-
    ted.
    B National  Fuel  Gas  Code  requires  that  a  sediment
    trap (drip leg) be installed on gas appliances not  so
    equipped.  The  drip  leg  must  be  accessible  and  not
    subject  to  freezing  conditions.  Install  in  accordan ce
    with  the  recommendations  of  the  serving  gas
    supplier, see Fig. 2.
    Warning:  Appliance must be installed

    6720608158-05.1AL6720608158-05.1AL
    Warning:  DO  NOT  connect  to  an
    unregulated  or  high  pressure  propane 
    line  or  to  a  high  pressure  commercial
    natural gas line.
    Warning:  The heater must be isolated
    from  the  gas  supply  piping  system 
    during  any  pressure  testing  of  that
    system  at  test  pressures  equal  to  or
    more than 0.5 psig. If overpressure has
    occurred,  such  as  through  improper
    testing of the gas lines or malfunction of
    the  supply  system,  the  gas  valve  must
    be checked for safe operation.

    Fig. 29 Gas connection 
    Once connections are made, check for gas leaks at a
    ll 
    joints. Apply some gas leak detection solution to a ll gas 
    fittings. Bubbles are a sign of a leak. A combustib le gas 
    detector may also be used to detect for leaks. 
    GAS LINE SIZING 
    The  gas  supply  piping  for  a  single  heater  should  be 
    sized for a maximum draw of 199,000 BTUH. Measure
    the  length  of  gas  supply  line  from  the  buildings  g as
    main  to  the  heater  and  use  the  tables  in  Fig. 31,  pa ge
    28  or  the  gas  line  manufacturer’s  sizing  tables  to
    determine  the  pipe  diameter  necessary.  If  there  are
    more  gas  drawing  appliances  on  the  line,  size  the  g as
    line  according  to  the  total  maximum  amount  of  BTU

    3.9 Water connections 
    BWhen facing the heater, the ¾” cold connection is o n 
    the bottom right and the hot connection is on the b ot-
    tom left. Centrally locating the water heater is re com-
    mended to keep hot water distribution times even  
    throughout the structure.
    Fig. 32 
    Fig. 33 Water filter
    1 Water valve with engine
    2 Water filter
    BThe use of unions when connecting both water 
    pipes  to  the  inlet  and  outlet  connections  is
    required.  This  will  facilitate  any  necessary
    servicing. B
    Plastic  or  PEX  type  plumbing  line  materials  are  not
    suitable for connecting directly to the water heate r.
    B Although  water  piping  throughout  the  building  may
    be other than copper, we recommend that copper or
    suitably rated stainless steel flex line piping be  used
    for  the  water  connections  for  1.5’  on  either  side  o f
    the  water  heater  (follow  local  codes  if  more
    stringent).
    B Never  sweat  any  piping  directly  to  or  beneath
    the water connections, as damage will occur to
    the  internal  water  valve  from  heating  of  the
    pipe.
    B Keep  water  inlet  and  outlet  pipes  to  no  less
    than  ¾  (19.05mm)  diameter  to  allow  the  full
    flow capacity.
    B If  the  cold  and  hot  connections  to  the  heater  are
    reversed, the heater will not function. Be certain  there
    are no loose particles or dirt in the  piping.  Blow  out
    or  flush  the  lines  before  connecting  to  the  water
    heater.
    B Full port shutoff valves should be installed on
    both the cold water supply and hot water outlet
    lines to facilitate servicing the heater (see  Fig.
    34 ).
    B For installation on a private well system with the  use
    of a pressure tank, the lowest pressure range setti ng
    recommended is 40-60 psi (2.75 - 4.15bar).
    3.10 Water quality
    Water  quality  can  have  an  impact  on  appliance
    longevity and may void the manufacturers warranty.
    For water analysis data call your local water depar tment,
    or  if  on  a  well,  have  well  water  analyzed  periodica lly.  If
    water  quality  exceeds  one  or  more  of  the  values
    specified below, Bosch recommends consulting a loca l
    water  treatment  professional  for  water  softening/
    conditioning options.
    Warning:  This  heater  is  not  approved
    for  preheated  water  applications 
    exceeding 140°F (60°C).
    Warning:  
    In  applications  where  inlet  water
    temperature  can  exceed  140°F  (60ºC),  a
    3-way  valve  or  mixing  valve  must  be
    installed  before  the  appliance  to  prevent
    water  exceeding  140°F  (60°C)  from
    entering the appliance.

    Installation instructions 
    Connecting the pressure relief valve (PRV) 
    A  listed  pressure  relief  valve  must  be  installed  at
      the
    time of installation.  No valve is to be placed between
    the  PRV  and  the  heater .  No  reducing  coupling  or
    other  restriction  may  be  installed  in  the  discharge   line.
    The  discharge  line  must  be  a  minimum  of  4”  above  a 
    drain and installed such that it allows complete dr ainage
    of both the PRV and the line. The discharge line mu st be
    placed where it will not cause any damage.
    The location of the PRV must be readily accessible  for
    servicing  or  replacement,  and  be  mounted  as  close  t o
    the water heater as possible. See Fig. 34. To insta ll the
    PRV,  a  suitable  fitting  connected  to  an  extension  o n  a
    “T” fitting can be sweated to the hot water line.
    Support all piping.
