CVF: From Zurn:

Zurn PEX must be kept at least 6" away
from the exhaust vent of a gas-fired water
heater. This is easily accomplished by
using flexible water heater connectors.
When the inlet and outlet connections are
well away from the exhaust vent, such
as most heaters with side connections,
Zurn PEX may be connected directly to

the water heater.

Running the Zurn PEX Tube

After the manifolds have been installed and the tube size selected, the
next step is to install the Zurn PEX tube. When installing the tube,
there are several points that must be considered:

1.

Bending

2.

Expansion and Contraction

3

. Abrasion

4.

Heat Sources

5.

Friction Damage

6. Freeze Protection
