CAUTION: This heater requires forced water circulation when the burner is operating. See minimum and maximum flow rates. Severe damage will occur if the heater is operated without proper water flow circulation.
WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF, as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline silica. However, following sustained exposure to very high temperatures (>2192F), the RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to humans.
When removing the burners or heat exchangers, take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.

GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high limit safety control on this water heater will shut off the main gas valve before the outlet temperature reaches 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec­ommended initial setting for the temperature control is 125°F.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con­sidered when setting the water temperature on the thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs of the application.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are available.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.
NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general purpose hot water for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information.
Time/Temperature Relationships in Scalds
The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

Fig. 7: Minimum Clearances from Combustible Surfaces—Indoor Installations
When installed according to the listed minimum clear­ances from combustible construction, these heaters can still be serviced without removing permanent structural construction around the heater. However, for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24 in. in front, and at least 36 in. on the water connection side. This will allow the heater to be serv­iced in its installed location without movement or removal of the heater.
Service clearances less than the minimums may require removal of the heater to service either the heat exchanger or the burner tray. In either case, the heater must be installed in a manner that will enable the heater to be serviced without removing any structure around the heater.

Combustion and Ventilation Air
Indoor Units
The heater must be supplied with sufficient quantities of non-contaminated air to support proper combustion and equipment ventilation. Combustion air can be sup­plied via conventional means where combustion air is drawn from the area immediately surrounding the heater, or via direct vent, where combustion air is drawn directly from outside. All installations must com­ply with the requirements of the NFGC (U.S.) and B149 (Canada), and all local codes.
Direct Combustion Air
If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly to the unit for combustion:
1. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance with the venting section of this manual.
2. Provide adequate ventilation of the space occu­pied by the heater(s) by an opening(s) for ventilation air at the highest practical point com­municating with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.

Low Temperature System
Heater requires minimum inlet temperature of 105°F. Consult the following sections for piping details.
Temperature & Pressure Gauge
The temperature and pressure gauge is factory­mounted in the in/out header.
Hydronic Heating
Pump Selection
In order to ensure proper performance of your boiler system, you must install a properly sized pump. Raypak recommends using a 20°F Delta T as design Delta T. (Delta T is the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water when the heater is firing at full rate). If a Delta T larger than 20°F is necessary, see Table F for minimum flow rate requirements.
Pressure Drop in Feet of Head Feedwater Regulator
Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be installed and set at 12 PSIG minimum pressure at the highest point of system. Install a check valve or back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a manual shut off valve as required by local codes.

Hydrostatic Test
Unlike many other types of heaters, Raypak heaters do not require hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in operation. The heat exchanger has already been factory-tested and is rated for 160 PSI maximum oper­ating pressure. However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatically testing the piping connections to the heater and the rest of the system prior to operation. This is particularly true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol-based antifreeze. Raypak recom­mends conducting the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or electrical supply.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak compounds.
1. Connect fill water supply. Fill heater with water (be sure bleed valve is open). When water flows from bleed valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve. Carefully fill the rest of the system, being sure to eliminate any entrapped air by using high point vents. Close feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for at least 24 hours.
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been maintained throughout test.
3. Check for leaks. Repair if found.

Piping—Heating Boilers
All high points should be vented. Purge valves and a bypass valve should be installed. A boiler installed above radiation level must be provided with a low water cut-off device. The boiler, when used in connec­tion with a refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be equipped with flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recom­mended that the piping be insulated.
Air-Separation/Expansion Tank
All boilers should be equipped with a properly sized expansion tank and air separator fitting as shown in the diagrams.
Three-Way Valves
Valves designed to blend water temperatures or reduce water circulation through the boiler should not be used. Raypak boilers are high recovery low mass boilers not subject to thermal shock. Raypak offers a full line of electric sequencers that produce direct reset of boiler water temperature. Refer to the Controls Section in our Complete Catalog.
Domestic Hot Water Piping
When designing the water piping system for domestic water applications, water hardness should be consid­ered. Table G indicates the suggested flow rates for soft, medium and hard water. Hardness is specified as grains per gallon.

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve locat­ed outside the heater jacket. A pounds to inches regulator must be installed to reduce to gas supply pressure to under 10.5 in. WC. The regulator should be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream of the heater gas controls. All gas piping must be tested after installation in accordance with local codes. The heater and its gas connection must be leak-tested before placing it in operation.
DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater will operate is the same type as specified on the heater’s rating plate.
Pool Heating
The Hi Delta pool heater is equipped with an external pump and bypass arrangement that blends outlet water with the inlet to increase the inlet water temper­ature, thereby reducing the likelihood of condensation forming on the heat exchanger. The pump also serves to circulate water through the heater from the main system piping.
To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool thermostat needs to be installed in the main return water line. This will ensure that the heater will be ener­gized at the right time. If the main water line is too far away from the heater and the capillary bulb will not reach it, locate the pool thermostat adjacent to the main line and run wires back to the heater.
Adjustment of the bypass valve is critical to proper operation of the heater. The bypass valve should be adjusted to achieve a minimum inlet water tempera­ture of 105°F and an outlet water temperature between 120°F and 140°F. When starting with a cold pool, make initial adjustments. Make final adjustments when pool water approaches desired temperature.
Automatic Chlorinators and Chemical Feeders
All chemicals must be introduced and completely dilut­ed into the pool or spa water before being circulated through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen­trations will result when the pump is not running (i.e. overnight).
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical backup into the heater when the pump is shut off.
CAUTION: Power to the heater should be interlocked with the main system pump to make sure the heater does not fire without the main system pump in operation. Improper flow control can damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the heater. Follow these instructions to make sure your heater is properly installed.
Winterizing Your Heater
When heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas are to be shut down for the winter, please observe the following procedure:
Heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas should be shut down for the winter. To shut down heater, turn off manual main gas valve and main gas shut-off. Close isolation valves and remove water pip­ing from the in/out header of the heater. Drain the heater and any piping of all water that may experience below freezing temperatures.
Pool and Spa Water Chemistry
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe
damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water pH between 7.4 and 7.8 and total alkalinity between 100 and 150 ppm. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater efficiency and also damaging the heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, the heater will be severely damaged.
NOTE: Heat exchanger damage resulting from chemical imbalance and/or scaling is not covered under the warranty.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause very rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger in the heater. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

GAS
Gas Supply Connection Gas Supply Pressure
A minimum of 7 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in. WC upstream gas pressure is required under load and no load conditions for natural gas. A minimum of 11 in. WC and a maximum of 13 in. WC is required for propane gas. The gas pressure regulator supplied on the heater is for low pressure service. If upstream pressure exceeds 14 in. WC, an intermediate gas pressure regulator, of the lockup type, must be installed.
When connecting additional gas utilization equipment to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be checked to determine if it has adequate capacity.
Gas Pressure Regulator
The gas valve pressure regulator(s) on the heater are nominally preset at 3.5 in. WC for natural gas, and
10.5 in. WC for propane gas manifold pressure. The pressure at the gas valve outlet tap, measured with a manometer,while in operation should be 3.5 ± 0.1 in. WC for natural gas and 10.5 in. ± 0.1 in. WC for propane gas. If an adjustment is needed, turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
CAUTION: The heater and its manual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa). The heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing the manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG. Relieve test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and its manual shut off valve to the gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVES. Over pressurized gas valves are not covered by warranty. The heater and its gas connections shall be leak tested before placing the appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test: DO NOT use open flame.
CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe thread. A pipe compound rated for use with gas systems is recommended. Apply sparingly only on male pipe ends.
CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Ensure the gas piping is protected from physical damage and freezing where required.

Electrical Power Connections
Installations must follow these codes:
· National Electrical Code and any other national,
state, provincial or local codes or regulations hav­ing jurisdiction
· Safety wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1
· Heater must be electrically grounded as required
by N.E.C.
· In Canada, C22.1
The heater is wired for 120 VAC, 12 AMPS. The volt­age is indicated on the tie-in leads. Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater in the instruction packet. The remote tank control stat, thermostat, or electronic heater control as applicable, may be con­nected to stage selector terminal (See wiring diagram). 24 Volts are supplied to this connection through the heater transformer. DO NOT attach line voltage to the “TH” leads. Before starting the heater check to ensure proper voltage to the heater and pump.
Install a separate disconnect means for each load. Use appropriate-sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA and/or local code. All primary wiring should be 125% of minimum rating.
It is strongly recommended that all individually-pow­ered control modules and the heater should be supplied from the same power source.
Surge Protection
Microprocessor-based and solid state controls are vul­nerable to damage from voltage and amperage fluctuations in the power supply. All sensitive control components should be protected by a suitable com­mercial-grade surge protection device.
If any of the original wire as supplied with the heater must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire or its equivalent.
Check the Power Source
AC = 108 Volts AC Minimum, 132 Volts AC MAX AB = 108 Volts AC Minimum, 132 Volts AC MAX BC = < 1 Volt AC
Making the Electrical Connections
Refer to Fig. 14 Wiring Connection, and the Wiring Diagram.
1. Verify circuit breaker is properly sized by referring to heater rating plate. A dedicated circuit breaker should be provided.
2. Turn off all power to the heater. Verify that power has been turned off by testing with a volt-ohm meter prior to working with any electrical connec­tions or components.
3. Observe proper wire colors while making electrical connections. Many electronic controls are polarity sensitive. Components damaged by improper electrical installation are not covered by warranty.
4. Provide an external surge suppressor capable of maintaining system integrity.
5. Provide overload protection and a disconnect means for equipment serviceability as required by local and state code.
6. Install heater controls, thermostats, or building management systems in accordance with the applicable manufacturer’s instructions.
7. Conduit should not be used as the ground. There must be a solidly wired ground.
Fig. 13: Check Power Source
NOTE: A grounding electrode conductor shall be used to connect the equipment grounding conductors, the equipment enclosures, and the grounded service conductor to the grounding electrode.
WARNING: Using a volt-ohm meter (VOM), check the following voltages at the terminal block inside the unit. Make sure proper polarity is followed and house ground is proven.

Fig. 14: Single Stage and 2-Stage Tankstat
Electrical Connections—Domestic Hot Water
Installer action is required to electrically enable your Hi Delta heater to operate after making the power con­nections. You must make a connection on Terminal Block #3 for temperature control connections. This will be done based on the controller option selected with your heater order.
1. For Pool and Closed Loop Water Source Heat Pump applications, your heater should be config­ured to operate in an ON/OFF firing mode. This means that you will connect a single-pole control to stage one of stage selector (Terminals 4 & 5). Then jumper the remaining firing stages. For example, if your heater is a 162, you will jumper stage two. Then your heater will either be on at full fire, or it will be off.
2. For multi-stage controller connections, connect each stage of the control to the corresponding stage selector terminal block in the heater. Stage 1 of the heater to stage 1 of the control. Stage 2 of the heater to stage 2 of the control, and so on. Set the operating control at the setpoint in which you want the heater to maintain. Ensure that the sens­ing bulb of the control is at the point in the system that will best maintain the temperature you want. For example, when you are heating a tank of water, you want the operating control sensor bulb in the tank.
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater in the instruction packet. The Stage 1 connections are for the remote tank control through the heaters 24 volt transformer. DO NOT attach line voltage to the Stage 1 connection. Before starting heater, check to ensure proper voltage to heater and pump.
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation. Verify proper operation after servicing.
DANGER—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure electrical power to the heater is disconnected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to components.
NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts) external connections to the unit. Solid conductors should not be used because they can cause excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the unit or larger.

General
Definition of Appliance Categories
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of condensate production in the vent.
Category I. A heater which operates with a non-posi­tive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate pro­duction in the vent.
Category II. A heater which operates with a non-posi­tive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category III. A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.
Category IV. A heater which operates with a positive vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that may cause excessive condensate production in the vent.
See Table H for appliance category requirements for the Hi Delta.
Determination of Appliance Category for Venting Purposes and Venting Arrangements
CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti-
cal for the safe and efficient operation of the heater.
NOTE: For additional information on appliance categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or applicable provisions of local building codes.
WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent material if there is any question about the appliance categorization and suitability of a vent material for application on a Category III or IV vent system. Using improper venting materials can result in personal injury, death or property damage.

Barometric Damper
A barometric damper may be required when vent heights exceed 25 feet or when the draft is greater than -0.08 in. WC. In these installations, a barometric damper (single acting) is recommended.
The damper should be installed NO CLOSER than 18 in. from the discharge of the unit and no closer than 18 in. from a combustible ceiling. The damper can be installed in horizontal or vertical runs of vent pipe as necessary. Installation in a bull-head tee is acceptable as shown in the NFGC.
The weights on the damper should be adjusted per the damper manufacturer’s instructions for proper opera­tion.
Support of Vent Stack
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the heater vent connection. Support must be pro­vided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent should also be supported to maintain proper clear­ances from combustible materials.
Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent pass­es through combustible roofs and walls.
Vent Terminal Location
General
Give special attention to the location of the vent termi­nation to avoid possibility of property damage or personal injury.
a) Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter.
The plume could obstruct a window view if the ter­mination is installed in close proximity to windows.
b) Prevailing winds could cause freezing of conden-
sate and water/ice build-up on building, plants or roof.
c) The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake
shall be located at least 12 in. above grade.
d) Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall not
be used outdoors on cold climates for venting gas utilization equipment.
e) Through-the-wall vents for Category II and IV
appliances and non-categorized condensing appli­ances shall not terminate over public walkways or
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap and make sure no blockage occurs from build up of snow. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.

Natural Draft Vertical Venting System Installation
Natural draft venting uses the natural buoyancy of the heated flue products to create a thermal driving head that expels the exhaust gases from the flue. The neg­ative draft must be within the range of -.01 in. to -.08 in. WC as measured 12 in. from the appliance flue out­let to ensure proper operation. Vent material must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency.
The maximum and minimum venting length for Category I appliance shall be determined per the lat­est edition of the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 Installation Code (Canada).
The diameter of vent flue pipe should be sized accord­ing to Part 11 of the latest edition of the NFGC (U.S.) and part 7 and appendix B of the B149 Installation Code (Canada). The minimum flue pipe diameter for conventional negative draft venting using double-wall B type vent is 4” for 122, 5” for 162, 202 and 242, 6” for 322.
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack must be as direct as possible and shall be the same diameter as, or larger than the vent outlet. The hori­zontal breaching of a vent must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per linear foot from the heater to the vent terminal. The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be supported for the design and weight of the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent physical damage or separation of joints.
Natural Draft Vertical Vent Termination
The vent terminal should be vertical and should termi­nate outside the building at least two (2) feet above the highest point of the roof that is within 10 feet. The vent cap should have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet horizontally from and in no case above or below (unless a four (4) foot horizontal distance is main­tained) electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment. The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and building openings must be consis­tent with the NFGC, or in Canada, the B149 Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. Gas vents supported only by flashing and extended above the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads.
Natural Draft Vertical Venting with Common Venting System, Category I Appliance Only
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 of the vent be less than the area of the largest heater exhaust outlet.
Common venting systems may be too large when an existing unit is removed. At the time of removal of an existing appliance, the following steps must 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 opening 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 or other unsafe condition.
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 vent sys­tem. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will oper­ate at maximum speed. Do not operate summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.
d) Place in operation the appliances being inspected.
Follow the manufacturers instructions for lighting
NOTE: Vent Adapter will have to be used to connect B vent to the unit.
CAUTION: Listed vent cap terminal must be used and sized adequately to evacuate the flue products from the heaters.
WARNING: Vent connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft shall not be connected into any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under a positive pressure.
CAUTION: Vent connectors for natural draft venting systems must be type “B” vent or better.

each appliance. Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate continuously.
e) Check the pressure at a pressure tap located 12
in. above the bottom joint of the first vertical vent pipe. Pressure should be anywhere between -.01 to -.08 in. WC.
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 other gas burning appliances to their previous conditions of use.

Horizontal Thru-wall Venting System (Category III) Installation
These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower to vent the combustion products to the outdoors. Combustion air is taken from inside the room and the vent is installed horizontally through the wall to the out­doors. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be supplied to the mechanical room in accordance with the NFGC or, in Canada, the B149 Installation Code.
The total length of the horizontal thru-wall exhaust vent system should not exceed seventy (70) feet in length. If horizontal run exceeds 70 feet, an appropri­ately sized extractor must be used. To maintain proper operation pressure reading must be between -.01 to ­.08 in. WC as measured 12 in. from the appliance flue outlet. Each elbow used is equal to ten (10) feet of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the four following combinations.
· 70’ of straight flue pipe.
· 60' of straight flue pipe and one elbow.
· 50' of straight flue pipe and two elbows.
· 40' of straight pipe and three elbows.
The vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system.
The vent must be installed to prevent the flue gas leak­age. Care must be taken during assembly to ensure that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight.
The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is rec­ommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight downward slope
of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the
horizontal run.
For appliances installed in extreme cold climate, it is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight upward slope of
not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal. In this case, an approved conden­sate trap must be installed per applicable codes.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the
horizontal run.
Horizontal Thru-wall Direct Vent Termination
The flue exhaust direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap must be installed at least one (1) foot above ground level and above normal snow levels. The Raypak supplied flue exhaust direct vent cap must be utilized.
The Stainless Steel direct vent cap must be fur­nished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing.
Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with category III gas burning heaters, such as the stainless steel vent by Heat Fab Inc (800-772-0739), Protech Systems, Inc. (800-766-3473) or Z-Flex (800-654-
5600). Pipe joints must be positively sealed. Follow carefully the vent manufacturers installation instruc­tions.
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.

Horizontal Thru-wall Direct Vent System (Category III) Installation
These installations utilize the heater mounted blower to draw combustion air from outdoors and vent com­bustion products to the outdoors.
The total length of the thru-wall exhaust vent cannot exceed forty (40) feet in length for the flue outlet. Each elbow used is equal to ten (10) feet of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the three following combinations.
· 40’ of straight flue pipe.
· 30' of straight flue pipe and one elbow.
· 20' of straight flue pipe and two elbows.
The total length air supply pipe cannot exceed forty (40) feet in length for the combustion air inlet. Each elbow used is equal to ten (10) feet of straight pipe. This will allow installation in one of the three following combinations.
· 40’ of straight combustion air pipe
· 30' of straight combustion air pipe and one elbow.
· 20' of straight combustion air pipe and two elbows.
The flue exhaust direct vent cap is not considered in the overall length of the venting system.
Care must be taken during assembly that all joints are sealed properly and are airtight.
The vent must be installed to prevent the potential accumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is rec­ommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight downward slope
of not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the
horizontal run.
For appliances installed in extreme cold climate, it is recommended that:
a) The vent be installed with a slight upward slope of
not more than 1/4" per foot of horizontal run to the vent terminal. In this case, an approved conden­sate trap must be installed per applicable codes.
b) The vent be insulated through the length of the
horizontal run.
Horizontal Thru-wall Direct Vent Termination
The flue exhaust direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the exterior of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap must be installed at least one (1) foot above ground level and above normal snow levels.
Multiple direct vent caps MUST NOT be installed with one combustion air inlet directly above a direct vent cap. This vertical spacing would allow the flue prod­ucts from the direct vent cap to be pulled into the combustion air intake installed above. This type of installation can cause non warrantable problems with components and poor operation of the unit due to the recirculation of flue products. Multiple direct vent caps should be installed in the same horizontal plane with a three (3) foot clearance from the side of one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent cap(s).
Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.
The Stainless Steel flue exhaust direct vent cap must be furnished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing. Use only the special gas
vent pipes listed for use with category III gas burning heaters, such as the stainless steel vent by Heat Fab Inc (800-772-0739), Protech Systems, Inc. (800-766-
3473) or Z-Flex (800-654-5600). Pipe joints must be positively sealed. Follow carefully the vent manufac­turers installation instructions.
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.

Vertical Direct Vent System Installation
These installations utilize the heater mounted blower to draw combustion air from outdoors and uses the natural buoyancy of the heated flue products to create a thermal driving head that expels the exhaust gases from the flue. The negative draft must be within the range of -0.01 to -0.08 in. WC as measured 12 in. from the appliance outlet to ensure proper operation. The vent material must be in accordance with the above instructions for vent materials. Vent material must be listed by a nationally recognized test agency.
The maximum and minimum venting length for Category I appliance shall be determined per the lat­est edition of the NFGC (U.S.) and B149 Installation Code (Canada).
The connection from the appliance exhaust vent to the stack must be as direct as possible and should be the same as or larger than the vent outlet. The vent must be installed to prevent accumulation of condensate and, where necessary, have means provided for drainage of condensate. The horizontal breaching of a vent must have an upward slope of not less than 1/4 inch per linear foot from the heater to the vent termi­nal. The horizontal portions of the vent shall also be supported for the design and weight of the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent phys­ical damage or separation of joints.
Vertical Direct Vent Termination
The exhaust vent terminal should be vertical and should terminate outside the building at least two (2) feet above the highest point of the roof within 10 feet. The vent cap should have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet horizontally from and in no case above or below (unless a four (4) foot horizontal distance is maintained) electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment. The distance of the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings, open windows and building openings must be consis­tent with the NFGC, or in Canada, the B149. Installation Code. Gas vents supported only by flash­ing and extended above the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads.
The vertical direct vent cap is designed for roof top mounting only. The air inlet opening MUST be installed one (1) foot above the roof line or above normal snow levels that might obstruct combustion air flow. This dimension is critical to the correct operation of the heater and venting system and reduces the chance of
blockage from snow. The vent cap must have a mini­mum 3 foot clearance from the air inlet opening.
Outdoor Installation
Outdoor models are self-venting when installed with the factory-supplied restricted direct vent cap and require no additional vent piping. This special vent cap is provided with the heater in accordance with CSA requirements. It must be installed directly on the heater. See Section B for correct clearances.
Care must be taken when locating the outdoor unit because the flue gases discharged from the vent hood can condense as they leave the hood. Improper loca­tion can result in damage to adjacent structures or building finish. For maximum efficiency and safety, the following precautions must be observed:
a) Outdoor models must be installed outdoors and
must use the outdoor vent hood supplied by the manufacturer.
b) Periodically check venting system. The heater’s
venting areas must never be obstructed in any way and minimum clearances must be observed to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation air. Keep area clear and free of combustible and flammable materials.
c) Do not locate adjacent to any window, door walk-
way, or gravity air intake. The vent must be located a minimum of four (4) feet horizontally, or four (4) feet below, or one (1) foot above such areas.
d) Install above grade level and above normal snow
levels.
e) Vent terminal must be at least 3 feet above any
forced air inlet located within 10 feet.
f) Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be pro-
tected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.
g) Multiple Outdoor Vent installations require a four
(4) feet clearance between vent caps.
The restricted vent cap must be furnished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with its listing.
An outdoor air filter, supplied by the manufacturer is mounted on the heater.
NOTE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked flue condition.

CONTROLS
Ignition Control Module
The interrupted proved ignition device conserves ener­gy. When additional heat is needed, the combustion air blower starts to purge all air from the combustion chamber for about 15 seconds. On proof of air flow, the air proving switch closes and the igniter is ener­gized, eliminating the fuel costs of maintaining a constant pilot.
To ensure safe operation, the gas valve cannot open until the pilot igniter is verified. The 100% igniter safe­ty is an electronic device which closes the main gas valve within 8/10 of a second whenever the flame is interrupted. Main burner is automatically lit when the device is powered and pre-purged. Unit performs its own safety check and opens the main valve only after the igniter is proven to be capable of ignition.
High Limit (Manual Reset)
The heater is equipped with a manual reset high limit temperature device. Push the reset button and adjust the setting to 30° F or 40° F above desired operating temperature.
WARNING: Installation, adjustment and service of heater controls including timing of various operating functions must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. Failure to do so may result in control damage, heater malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death.
WARNING: Turn off the power to the heater before installation, adjustment or service of the heater controls. Failure to do so may result in heater malfunction, property damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION: This appliance has provisions to be connected to more than one (1) supply source. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all such connections before servicing.
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock. More than one (1) disconnect switch may be required to de­energize the equipment before servicing.

APPENDIX
Inside Combustion Air Contamination:
All heaters experience some condensation during start-up. The condensate from flue gas is slightly acidic. In most cases the pH level is not harmful to vents or drains. When combustion air is contaminated by vapors from products in areas listed below, the acidic levels in the condensate increase. Higher acidic levels attack many materials, including stainless steel commonly used in high efficiency systems.
The heater can use special corrosion-resistant non­metallic intake vent material. You may, however, choose to use outside combustion air for one or more of these reasons:
installation is in an area containing contaminants listed below which will induce acidic condensation.
• you want to reduce infiltration into your building through openings around windows and doors.
• you are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe, which is more corrosion-resistant than standard metallic vent pipe. In extremely contaminated areas, this may also experience deterioration.
Products causing contaminated combustion air:
spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons
permanent wave solutions
• chlorinated waxes/cleaners
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals
calcium chloride used for thawing
sodium chloride used for water softening
• refrigerant leaks
paint or varnish removers
hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid
cements and glues
antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers
• chloride-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning solvents found in household laundry rooms
adhesives used to fasten building products
... and other similar products.
Areas causing contaminated combustion air:
dry cleaning/laundry areas and establishments
metal fabrication plants
• beauty shops
refrigeration repair shops
photo processing plants
auto body shops
plastic manufacturing plants
urniture refinishing areas and establishments
new building construction
• remodeling areas.
Check for areas and products as listed above before installing heater. If found:
remove products permanently, OR
provide outdoor combustion air.
