building codes, and the following instructions.
A stamped/extruded metal transition is supplied
with this certified unit. It must not be modified or
altered and must be installed on the outlet of the
combustion air inducer assembly prior to the
installation of the vent connector. Failure to comply
with this requirement will void the certification of
the unit by the approval agencies.
A single-wall vent connec tor may be used between th e
furnace and the vertical vent pipe in all applications;
however, single−wall vent material cannot be used
for vertical vent piping in res idential applications.
UL−approved Category III venting materials must
be used in all residential applications which
include horizontal vent piping.
A single-wall vent pipe used as a vent connector in
residential or commercial applications, or as a vertical
vent in commercial applications, must have all seams and
joints sealed with pressure-sensitive aluminum tape or
silicone rubber sealant. Aluminum tape must meet the
provisions of SMACNA AFTS-100-73 Standards. The
aluminum tape must have a temperature rating of 400°F
(204°C). Silicone rubber sealant must have a temperature
rating of 482°F (250°C), i.e., Dow Corning
RTV−736 or equivalent.
All joints must be secured with at least two
corrosion−resistant screws. All joints must be checked for
gas tightness after installation. Single−wall vent pipe used
as vertical vent in commercial applications must not pass
through any attic, interior wall, concealed space, or floor.

The following additional requirements apply when a
lined masonry chimney is being used to vent the
compact unit heater.
IMPORTANT
heater into a tile lined masonry chimney (interior
or outside wall) is prohibited. The chimney must
first be lined with either type B-1 vent or an
insulated single−wall flexible vent lining system,
sized in accordance with venting tables in the
ANSI Z223.1, or CSA-B14
1 − Masonry chimneys used to vent Category I units
heaters must be either tile−lined or lined with a listed
metal lining system or dedicated gas vent. Unlined
masonry chimneys are prohibited. A category I
appliance must never be connected to a chimney that
is servicing a solid fuel appliance. If a fireplace
chimney flue is used to vent this appliance, the
fireplace opening must be permanently sealed.
2 − A fan−assisted unit heater may be commonly vented
into an existing lined masonry chimney provided:
a. The chimne y is currently serving at least one

existing chimney is not safe for the intended
purpose, it shall be reb uilt to conform to nationally
recognized standards, lined or relined with suitable
materials or replaced with a gas vent or chim ney
suitable for venting unit heaters. The chimney
passageway must be checked periodically to
ensure that it is clear and free of obstructions.
REMOVAL OF UNIT FROM COMMON VENT
In the event that an existing unit heater is removed from
a venting system commonly run with separate gas
appliances, the vent ing system is likely to be too lar ge
to properly vent the remaining attached appliances. The
following test should be conducted while each
appliance is in oper ation and the other appliances ar e
not in operation, yet remain connected to th e common
venting system. If the venting system has been
installed improperly, the system must be corrected.
1 − Seal an y unused openings in the comm on venting
system.
2 − Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch. Determine there is no blockage
or restriction, leakage, corrosion, or other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 − In so far as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all door s bet ween t he s p ac e i n which
the appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are located and other
spaces of the building. T urn on clothes dryers and
any appliances not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so the y
will operate at maximum speed . Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
4 − Follow the lighting instructions. Plac e t he a ppl ia nce
being inspected in operati on. Adjust therm ostat so
appliance will operate continuously.
5 − Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after five minutes of main burner operation. Use
the flame of a match or cand le, or smok e from a
cigarette, cigar, or pipe.
6 − After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined
above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning
appliance to their previous condition of use.
7 − If improper venting is observed during any of the
above tests, the comm on venting system must be
corrected. The comm on venting syst em should be
resized to approach the minimum size as
determined by using the appropriate tables in
Appendix G in the current editions of the ANSI
Z223−1, or the appropriate Category I Natural Gas
and Propane appliances venting sizing tables in
the current standards of the CSA-B149 for
installation compliance codes.

main burner as the gas valve is turned on. The direct
spark ignition control board emits radio noise as the
sparking process is under way. The level of energy may
be sufficient to disturb a logic circuit in a microprocessor
controlled thermostat. It is recommended that an isolation
relay be used when connecting the unit heaters to a
microprocessor controlled thermostat. Install the
thermostat according to instructions provided. Install a
separate fused disconnect switch, with the fuse sized
according to blower motor size. Connect wiring through
knockout on the junction box located on the side of the
unit heater. Refer to heater wiring diagram for connection
information. Use 18 gauge wire or larger for thermostat
connections.
NOTE− Electrically ground unit in accordance with
local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the c urrent ed itions of the ANSI/NF PA
No. 70, National Electrical Code or CSA C22.1,
Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.
NOTE− Uninsulated ground wires must be wrapped in
electrical tape to avoid damage to the electrical system.
Make line voltage connections as shown in figure 7.
Connect field wiring as shown on wiring diagram on
unit. Also refer to typical diagram in this manual. An
additional thermostat wire must be run to terminal G" on
heater when continuous blower is desired.

Gas Connection
When connecting gas sup p l y, the len gth of the r u n f r om
the meter must be c onsidered in determining the p ipe
size to avoid exc essive pressure drop. A line pressure
of 7" w.g. (178mm w.g.) for natural gas should be
maintained when sizing piping. For correct sizing of
piping, consult the utility having jurisdiction.
A drip leg should be insta lled in the vertical pipe run to
the unit. In some localities, codes may require that a
manual main shutoff valve and union (furnished by
installer) be installed external to the unit. Union must
be of the ground joi nt type. A drip le g shoul d be readi ly
accessible to perm it cleaning and emptying. See figure

1 − Set thermostat to lowest level.
2 − Turn off all electrical power to unit if ser vice is to
be performed.
3 − Turn knob on gas valve 90° clockwiseto OFF.
Heating Sequence of Operation
1 − When the thermostat calls for heat, the
combustion air inducer starts immediately.
2 − Combustion air pressure switch proves inducer
operation before allowing power to the ignition
controller. This switch is factory set and no
adjustment is necessary.
3 − After pre−purge of approximately 30 seconds, the
spark ignition is energi zed and the solen oid valves
open in the gas valve.
4 − The spark then ignites the gas, the ignition sensor
proves the flame and the combustion process
continues.
5 − In the event that th e f lame is not detec ted after the
first 10−second trial for ignition, the controller will
repeat steps 3 and 4 an additional two times
before locking out the gas valve. Ignition control
will then automatically repeat steps 3, 4, and 5
after 60 minutes.
NOTE − To interrupt the 60−minute lockout period,
move thermostat from Heat" to OFF" then back to
Heat." Heating sequence then restarts at step 1.
6 − The burners must light without noticeable crossover
delay. There must be no flame lifting from the burner
heads, flashback or burning within the burner. The
flames should be predominantly blue in color and
should be approximately centered in the tubes with
no apparent impingement taking place.
7− The ignition control will energize the fan
approximately 45 seconds after ignition is
established.
8 − After the thermostat demand is satisfied the gas
valve is closed. Five seconds after the demand is
satisfied, the combustion air inducer is shut off.
9 − The ignition control will shut off the system fan
approximately 150 secon ds after the gas valve is
de-energized.

Gas Flow
To check for proper gas flow to the combustion chamber,
determine the Btu input from the appliance rating plate.
Divide this input rating by the Btu per cubic feet of
available gas. Result is the required number of cubic
feet per hour. Determine the flow of gas through the
gas meter for two m inutes and m ultipl y by 30 to g et the
hourly flow of gas.
Gas Pressure Adjustment
1 − Check gas line pressure with unit firing at
maximum rate. A m inimum of 5" (127mm ) w.g. for
natural gas or 10.4" (264mm) w.g. for LP/propane
gas should be maintained for proper unit
operation.
2 − After line pressure has been checked and
adjusted, check regulator pressure. Correct
manifold pressure is shown on the unit rating
plate. See figures 9 and
10 for gas pressure adjus tment screw location. A
natural gas to LP/propane gas changeover kit is
required to convert the unit in the field. Refer to
