Section 2 - Heater Installation

General Requirements

1.Do not install the heater on a combustible surface of any kind. For minimum clearance to combustible material (see Page 9)

2.Install the heater in a location to utilize total heat throw.

3.Install the heater in a location to permit a correct outdoor chimney exit to eliminate down drafts, and provide easy chimney installation and maintenance. Class A chimney MUST be used when passing through any wall or ceiling. See Section 3 Chimney Installation

4.Install the heater in a location to permit the fuel supply to be as close as possible.

5.Do not install the heater more than 10 feet above the top of the fuel supply tank.

6.Before suspending the heater check the supporting structure and reinforce if necessary to support the weight of the heater/system.

7.Use 3/8” steel threaded rod to suspend the heater from a capable load carrying ceiling structure when not using the Lanair Waste Oil Storage Tank.

8.The heater must be suspended level for proper operation. A heater that is not level could cause a hazardous situation in which personal injury or property damage may result.

Adjustable Locking Louvers

The MX Series heaters feature spring loaded locking louvers. To adjust:

sSlowly push the louver to the left until the locking pin disengages. NOTE: Do not allow the pivot pin to come out of the hole.

sTilt the louver forward/backward until desired position is obtained.

sRelease louver so locking seats into the hole.

Pivot Pin. NOTE: Do not allow pin to

disengage while adjusting

Figure 2 - Typical Chimney Installation

General Requirements

1.Safe operation of any gravity vented heating appliance requires a proper air make-up system to prevent the heater exhaust gases from being drawn into the building. These gases could cause death, serious injury, and/or property damage. Exhaust fans, paint booths may cause draft problems.

2.Never vent this heater into another heating appliances chimney. Never vent into “Class B” chimney. Gas heaters use “Class B” chimney, it is rated for a much lower temperature than is required for your waste oil furnace. This heater must have its own separate “Class A” chimney.

3.Inspect and maintain the chimney on an annual basis.

Section 3 - Chimney/Vent System

General Requirements (cont.)

4.Install a U.L. listed barometric damper in the chimney. Do not reduce or enlarge the vent pipe.

5.Do not use more than one 90° elbow. Each 90° elbow equals a 10’ run of chimney. The maximum run for the chimney connector is 30’.

6.To prevent the drawing of exhaust gases into the building, keep the barometric draft control at least 24” from the heater, exhaust fan etc..

7.Position the draft control as shown. Barometric Damper gate pins must be horizontal (Parallel to the floor) for proper operation.

Barometric Damper Position

HORIZONTAL

VERTICAL

NOTE: Barometric Damper may be mounted horizontally or vertically. Angle gate pins must be horizontal for proper operation

8.Secure all connections in the chimney connector with 3 screws per joint.

9.The chimney connector clearance to any combustible material is 18”. The “Class A” chimney clearance to any combustible is 2”. Follow the chimney manufacturer’s instructions.

10.Do not install heat re-claimers, manual draft controls, or any other type of restrictive control in the chimney.

11.Install clean out tee with a cap, at the transition of the chimney. FOLLOW CHIMNEY

MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS.

12.Use “Class A” insulated chimney pipe to vent exhaust gases through wall, ceilings, attics, roofs, combustibles, etc. Class A chimney must be used for the entire run once passing through a wall of ceiling.

13.Vent chimney at least 3 feet above the roof and at least 3 feet higher than any portion of the building, roof, or obstruction within 10 feet of the chimney.

14.The chimney cap should be at least 3’ above the chimney exit through the roof.

15.Do not use a rotating chimney cap. Use a non-restrictive “Class A” cap made for the type “Class A” chimney you are using. Follow chimney manufacturer’s instruction.

16.The chimney must be capable of producing a negative -.02 W.C. draft when cold and -

.06 W.C. draft when hot. Refer to Section 4 Draft Instructions. Refer to Section 3.10 for typical Chimney Installation.

NOTE: Do not install chimney in front of the heater (in air stream of fan)

Visit our website at: www.lanair.com

13

Section 3 - Chimney/Vent System

17. If you are unable to attain the proper draft, check for exhaust fans in the building. To test if there is a problem, open an overhead door and see if you now have the proper draft. You may have to add one or more sections of “Class A” chimney to the roof to get the proper draft.

18.The heater and chimney must be installed in accordance with all state and local codes. The heater must be installed in accordance with the specifications listed in this manual. The chimney must be installed per the chimney manufacturer’s instruction. Use “Class A” chimney only.

Section 4 - Draft

The Lanair heater should have a (negative) -.02 draft reading when cold, and a (negative) -.06 when hot. Check the heater when it is running after 45 minutes. If the reading is not what it should be, adjust the barometric damper according to the instructions provided with the damper. The draft reading should be taken with a manometer. Consult your heating contractor, or a manometer can be purchased from the Lanair Customer Service Department .
