■ TYPES COMPATIBLE WITH EXTENSION SET RHFE-1004FA INSTALLING AN EXTENSION KIT Installing an extension kit requires construction of an air line and the exhaust line. The air line is connected between the Air Supply Elbow at the rear of the heater and the air inlet port on the Flue pipe. Similarly, the exhaust line is connected between the joint pipe at the rear of the heater, and the exhaust port on the Flue pipe. Caution: Check to see there is no debris in pipe or hose.

CAUTION Never allow the exhaust pipe to sag, as condensed water may accumulate and cause incomplete combustion. 3˚ slope(approximate) Less than 8 ft. 3.
4. Wherever the air intake hose and exhaust pipe run sideways, try to have the exhaust pipe on top (to prevent the air intake hose from sagging onto the exhaust pipe).
