Instructions / Assembly

11
See Vent Piping section for details. Minimum allowable
space is shown on the rating plate. Follow the installation
instructions provided with the Indoor Drafthood Kit for
installation.
NOTE: For Canada, indoor installation is restricted to
an enclosure that is not occupied and does not directly
communicate with an occupied area. Refer to the latest
edition of CAN/CSA-B149 for specic requirements.

WARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
must be connected to a vent ppe and properly vented to
the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause
re or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
This drafthood must be installed without alteration. see
rating plate.

4.6. Combustion and Ventilation
Air (Indoor Units Only)
The heater must have both combustion and ventilation air.
Minimum requirements for net free air supply openings
are one opening that is 12" (30.5 cm) from the ceiling for
ventilation, and one opening that is 12" (30.5 cm) from the
oor for combustion air as outlined in the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada-CAN/
CSA-B149) and any local codes that may have jurisdiction.
AA
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated
by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the
heater and void the warranty. Do not store chlorine,
bromine, baquasil or acid in the same room as the heater.
All Air from inside the building each opening shall have a
minimum net free area as noted in Table E.

4.6.1. Vent Piping
Appliance Categories
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of
condensate production in the vent.
Category I – A heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category II – A heater which operates with a non-positive
vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that
may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category III – A heater which operates with a positive
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids
excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive vent
pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause
excessive condensate production in the vent.
These heaters operate as venting category I atmospheric
appliances.
Vent piping the same size as the drafthood outlet is
recommended, however, when the total vent height is at
least 10 ft (3 m) (drafthood relief opening to vent terminal),
the vent pipe size may be reduced by no more than one size
as specied in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(Canada - CAN/CSA-B149). As much as possible, avoid
long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows.
If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe must
have a minimum of 1/4" (2 cm per m) per ft rise and should
be supported at not more than ve foot intervals. Plumbers
tape, criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and
vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the ashing
and extending above the roof more than 5' (1.5 m) should
be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind
loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacers
through the roof and walls.
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the vent
pipe must terminate with a vent cap which complies
with local codes or, in the absence of such codes, the
latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
(Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).
The discharge opening must be a minimum of 2'
(0.6 m) vertically from the roof surface and at least 2'
(0.6 m) higher than any part of the building within 8'
(2.4 m) vent stack shall be at least 5' (1.5 m) in vertical
height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location
shall have a minimum clearance of 4' (1.2 m) horizontally
from, and in no case below, unless a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal
distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters,
regulators and relief equipment.
