Installing the SHLX
VENTING
The installation of venting must
comply with national codes,
local codes, and the vent
manufacturer's instructions.
Owner must refer to vent
manufacturer's instructions
and specifications. Eccotemp
information can be found at
www.Eccotemp.com.
The water heater must be
vented to the outdoors as
described in these instructions.
DO NOT connect this water
heater to an existing vent or
chimney, it must be vented
separately from all other
appliances.
Eccotemp also recommends
adding a backflow preventer
to keep freezing outside air
from reaching the water heater.
Consult with an installation
professional for proper
installation.
All vent components (adapters,
pipe, elbows, terminals, etc.)
should be UL 1738 Certified
Stainless Steel Venting aterial
(e.g. AL29-4C).
The specified vent termination
must be used. The termination
should be a 90° elbow type
with screen. (Refer to page
24).Use a vent pipe with an
antidisconnection structure.
VENTING THROUGH CLOSED SPACES
If the vent piping passes through a closed space, wrap the vent pipe with inflammable insulation material
that is at least 3/4" thick. DO NOT let the insulation material make contact with flammable materials. A
minimum clearance of 6" between the vent pipe and ceiling should be maintained. Follow local codes.

The use of a high temperature
silicone (500' F) may be
required to seal vent

accidental gas exhaust leakage,
apply a 1/4" wide bead
approximately 1/4" from the
end and another bead against
the joint side of the stop bead.
Follow vent manufacturer's
installation instructions.
The water heater can be vented
either horizontally or vertically.
Vent pipe runs must be
adequately supported along
both horizontal and vertical
runs.
The maximum recommended
unsupported span should be no
more than five (5) feet. Support
isolation hanging bands should
be used. DO NOT use wire. (See
diagram below).

of these openings should be close to where the vent pipe enters the
ceiling. The other opening should be near the vent termination.
• A ventilation hole with a 16 sq. in. opening should be made at
least every 10 feet.
