A water heater having a combustion air inlet and a flue gas outlet. A
manifold assembly is provided which includes a box section, a flue gas port, a
combustion air port and a combustion air inlet collar. The combustion air
inlet
collar communicates with the combustion air port through the interior of the
box section. A combination combustion air inlet and flue gas outlet assembly
is provided and includes a combustion air inlet tube and a flue gas outlet
tube
mounted concentrically inside the combustion air tube. The combustion air
tube is connected at one end to the box section of the manifold and is
connected at the other end with the atmosphere. The flue tube is connected at
one end to the flue gas inlet port on the manifold and communicates with the
atmosphere at the other end. An air blower is mounted on the water heater. A
combustion air tube is connected at one end to the combustion air port of the
manifold and is connected at its other end to an air assembly box mounted on
the top of the water heater. The air blower is operable to draw fresh
combustion air through the combustion air tube and then into the combustion
chamber of the water heater. A flue gas tube is connected at one end to the
flue gas port of the manifold and is connected at the other end to the blower,
which is operable to exhaust the flue gases from the combination combustion
