WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces approximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for
every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input per
hour. Unvented room heaters are recommended
as supplemental heat (a room) rather than a
primary heat source (an entire house). In most
supplemental heat applications, the water vapor
does not create a problem. In most applications,
the water vapor enhances the low humidity
atmosphere experienced during cold weather.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a conned
space or unusually tight construction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air. Read the
following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and other
fuel-burning appliances in your
home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efcient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors
to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.
During heating months, home owners want
their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
efcient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, replaces, clothes dryers and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the
house to operate. You must provide adequate
fresh air for these appliances. This will insure
proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
The following steps will help ensure that water
vapor does not become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the
application, including ample combustion
air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehumidier may be used to help lower the
water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as
the primary heat source.
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or
space unless the required vol-
ume of indoor combustion air
is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
International Fuel Gas Code, or
applicable local codes.
WARNING: If the area in which
the heater may be operated does
not meet the required volume for
indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be
provided by one of the methods
described in the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the International Fuel Gas Code,
or applicable local codes.

INSTALLATION
CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied service technician must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) inlet connection to
the pressure regulator.
WARNING: For natural gas,
Never connect heater to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead
gas.
WARNING: Do not over-
tighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to heater. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.
CAUTION: For propane/
LP gas, never connect heater
directly to the gas supply. This
heater requires an external
regulator (not supplied). Install
the external regulator between
the heater and gas supply. Gas
supplier provides external regulator for natural gas. The installer
provides the external regulator
for propane/LP gas.
CAUTION: For natural gas,
check your gas line pressure
before connecting heater to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be
no greater than 9.5" of water. If
gas line pressure is higher, heater
regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or ttings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas
(Propane/LP or Natural Gas).
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• external regulator for propane/LP unit only
(supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas and propane/LP gas)
• equipment shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• exible gas hose (check local codes)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certied equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 3/8" black iron pipe or greater. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve,
union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate NPT
tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT
tap must be upstream from heater (see Figure
15, page 17).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.

200213-01B16
INSTALLATION
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads.
This will prevent excess sealant from going
into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result
in clogged heater valves.
For propane/LP gas, t
an external regulator. The external regulator
will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11"
and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with

Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
in Figure 15. Place sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Place sediment trap
where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.
