It is beyond the scope of these instructions to consider all conditions that may be encountered.
Installation in the USA must conform to all local and national code requirements including the
current National Fuel Gas code ANSI Z223.1, and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No
70 [latest edition]. All installations in Canada must conform to local and national code require-
ments including, CAN/CGA-B149.1 installation code for gas burning appliances and equipment

DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IN A RECESS, ALCOVE, OR ENCLOSURE.
Adequate free space must be provided to allow the products of combustion to escape from the
heater to atmosphere when installed outdoors, or to mechanical exhaust withdrawal when in-
stalled indoors. Also refer to “Outdoor” and “Indoor” definitions and requirements below.
Do not allow the products of combustion to accumulate in any space or enclosure.

up to 10 MPH. Note this unit is not designed to operate in adverse weather conditions
including higher wind speeds exceeding the certification requirement of 10 MPH.
The heater must be rigidly mounted to the structure to prevent wind force movement.
What is “Outdoor”?:
An appliance approved for “outdoor use” may be installed with shelter no more inclusive than:
• With walls on all sides, but with no overhead cover, [overhead permanently open] or
• Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and no more than two side
walls. These side walls may be parallel, as in a breezeway, or at right angle to each other.
The open sides must be permanently open or
• Within a partial enclosure which includes an overhead cover and three side walls, as long
as 30 percent or more of the horizontal periphery of the enclosure is permanently open.
If these “outdoor” conditions are not met, the appliance is approved for “indoor use”

This heater is certified for space or spot heating of commercial / industrial non-
residential indoor spaces in accordance with ANSI Z83.19b / CSA 2.35b.
Inadequate venting of a heater may result in asphyxiation, carbon
monoxide poisoning, injury or death. Heating system venting must
be in accordance with all local, state, provincial, and national codes [ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in USA;
B149.1 in Canada]. Refer also to Section 14.
INSTALLATION IN A STRUCTURE THAT HAS NO INSULATION IN THE ROOF CAN
