WARNING:
Indoor heaters require a drafthood that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside.
Failure to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fig. #8265.0
Vent piping the same size or larger than the draft hood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height
is at least ten (10) feet (draft hood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as specified
in Chapter 10 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. As much as possible avoid long horizontal runs of vent
pipe and too many elbows. If installation requires horizontal non-vertical runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum
of 1/4 inch per foot rise and should be supported at not less than five foot intervals. Plumbers tape, criss-crossed,
will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extending above
the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind load. We recommend
use of insulated vent pipe must terminate with a vent cap which complies with the local codes or, in the absence of
such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
The discharge opening must be a minimum of three feet
vertically from the roof surface and at least two feet higher than any
part of the building within ten feet. Vent stack shall be at least five
10' OR LESS

HEATER
Fig # 8119
At the time of removal of an existing heater, the following
steps shall be followed with each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system placed in
operation, while the other appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are not in operation.
(a) Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
(b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size
and horizontal pitch and determine there is no
blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other
deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.
(d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat
so appliance will operate continuously.
(e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the
flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
(f) 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 conditions of use.
(c) Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and
windows and all doors between the space in which
the appliances remaining connected to the common venting system are located and other spaces
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any
appliance not connected to the common venting
system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range
hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate
at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer
exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
(g) Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so the installation
conforms with the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing
any portion of the common venting system,
the common venting system should be resized
to approach the minimum size as determined
using the appropriate tables in Part 11 of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Manifolds that connect more than one heater to a
common chimney must be sized to handle the combined
load.
Consult available guides for proper sizing of the manifold
and the chimney. At no time should the area be less than
the area of the largest outlet.

POWER VENTING
Heaters may be connected to systems requiring mechanical draft exhaust fans. The installation must be
engineered by competent personnel in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z 223.1, local codes and with the
supplier of the fan.
Particular attention must be given to the type of vent pipe used, its size and location. Suitable interlocks must
be provided to prevent heater operation until the fan is operating as designed.
OUTDOOR WATER HEATERS
The point from where the flue products exit the heater must be a minimum of four (4) feet below, four (4) feet
horizontally from or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravity inlet to a building. The top surface of the heater
shall be at least three (3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts located within ten (10) feet horizontally.
Fig. #8245.1
HIGH WIND CONDITIONS (Outdoor Units Only)
In areas where high winds are frequent, it may be necessary to locate the heater a minimum of 3' from high vertical
walls, or install a wind break so the heater is not in direct wind current.
VENT DAMPER INSTALLATION
(MODELS 136 THROUGH 264) WHERE REQUIRED
LOCATION
The vent damper must be located in the vent so that
it serves only the appliance for which it is intended.
If improperly installed, a hazardous condition, such
as an explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning, could
result. Make certain that it is mounted in an accessible
location at least 6 in. (152.4 mm) from any combustible
material or the heat exchanger and that the position
indicator is in a visible location.
The vent damper must be installed after the appliance
draft hood, as close to the draft hood as practicable, and
without modification of the draft hood.

MOUNTING
On vertical vents, the vent damper may be mounted with the actuator in any position. On horizontal vents, do
not mount the actuator either directly above or directly below the vent pipe; mount the vent damper actuator to the
side of the vent.
The vent damper is set up for a continuous pilot system. If the vent damper is installed on an intermittent Pilot
or Direct Spark Ignition equipped system, the energy savings of the vent damper can be improved by plugging the
hole in the vent damper blade using the knockout plug, Part No 105612R, provided in the parts envelope.
DO NOT plug the hole if installing the vent damper on a continuous pilot system as this will create a hazardous
condition.
