Exhaust Fans and Ventilation:
The MOBIUS water heater is equipped with a combustible
air detector to measure whether there is enough air for proper combustion. If there is not, the
water heater will not work until air is provided properly.
Any equipment, which uses air from an enclosed space, can deplete the air from that area.
This can result in exhaust flowing from the flue to the enclosed space, which could result in
the accumulation of dangerous exhaust fumes in the space where the water heater is
installed. Additional air must be supplied to compensate for any exhaust effect.
If a blower of fan is used to supply air to the water heater room, the installer should make
sure it does not create drafts, which could cause unwanted shutdowns. If a blower is
necessary to provide adequate combustion air to the water heater, a switch or equivalent
device must be wired into the water heater control circuit to prevent the water heater from
firing unless the blower is operating.
Venting Instructions
GENERAL
This water heater must be vented in accordance with "Venting of Equipment" section of the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and all applicable local building
codes.
WARNING:
Improper venting of this appliance can result in excessive levels of Carbon
Monoxide, which can result in severe personal injury or death.
Here are some general rules for venting system for MOBIUS water heater.
1. Place the water heater as close as possible to the vent.
2. The vent collar on the water heater must be fastened directly to an unobstructed vent
pipe.
3. Do not weld the vent pipe to the water heater collar. The weight of the stack must not
rest on the water heater. The flue must be easily removable for normal service and
inspection of the unit.
4. The water heater must not be common vented with a fireplace, wood stove or other
equipment.
5. Avoid terminating the water heater vent near any air-conditioning or air-supply fans.
These fans can pick up the exhaust flue products from the water heater and return
them to the building. This can create a health hazard.
6. Avoid using an oversized vent pipe or using extremely long runs of the pipe. This may
cause excessive cooling and condensation of flue gases.
A) Vent Connections
The MOBIUS water heater should be vented as Category I with Single-wall metal pipe. The
vent system must be gas tight. All seams and joint must be sealed with silicone sealant or
adhesive tape having a minimum temperature rating of 400º F. For best results, a horizontal
vent system should be as short and straight as possible with Category III stainless pipe.
When installing the vent system, all applicable national and local codes must be followed. If
thimbles, fire stops or other protective devices are going to be installed which will penetrate
