Hello - I had NPE-240A2 Outdoor installation ongoing. According to the installation manual clearance for the top seems to be 36" (Page 17 and 59 of the install doc) for outdoor install in one page and on another page, it shows soffit depth or greater (Page 50). Currently the install top clearance is at 15". I have added a couple of pictures of the installation area. It appears the installation is off based on the navien install doc. For reference, my soffit depth is around 29 inches
What are some suggestions to correct as the space appears to be tight.
Current clearance from the bottom of navien unit (from the bottom of the recirculation inlet fitting ) appears to be 45" to 46". The cold, gas and hot water connections were piped in 20" above the concrete path/inside of the garage.
To correct the top clearance, it appears we need to bring down the unit another 21" to comply with 36" clearance for inspection. If we bring it down, the unit will be very close to the water and gas pipes coming in from the garage. Concerned it will make maintenance challenging...Looking from experts here on any ideas to correct this in a manner that will help with ease of maintenance?
I called Navien tech support but they are not very helpful in confirming 36" vs. soffit depth.
