WARNING
A
CAUTION
A
CAUTION
NOTE
DANGER: Failure to install the drafthood on indoor
A
installation and properly vent the heater to the outdoors as outlined in the venting section of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the heater. To avoid the risk
of re, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide,
never operate this heater unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at initial start-up, and at least annually thereafter. Refer to the venting section of this manual for more information regarding vent system inspections.
Indicates the presence of immediate hazards which will cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
CAUTION used without the warning alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous condition which could cause minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important but not related to personal injury hazards.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
A
alteration, service, or maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Installation
and service must be performed by a qualied installer,
service agency, or the gas supplier.
WARNING: Gasoline, as well as other ammable
A
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous. Do
not handle, use, or store gasoline or other ammable or
combustible materials in the vicinity of a heater.
WARNING: To minimize the possibility of improper
A
operation, serious personal injury, re, or damage to the heater:
Always keep the area around the heater free of
combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable
liquids and vapors.
Heater should never be covered or have any blockage
to the ow of fresh air to the heater.
WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
A
ber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF,
as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline silica. However, following sustained exposure to very high temperatures [>2192°F (1200°C)], the RCF can transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classied 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 bers. When cleaning spills, use wet sweeping or High E󰀩ciency Particulate Air (HEPA) ltered 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 certied respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne ber
particles.
WARNING: Both natural gas and propane have
A
an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of natural gas or propane, ask your local gas supplier. Other conditions, such as “odorant fade,” which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can
also hide, camouage, or otherwise make detecting a gas leak by smell more di󰀩cult.
WARNING: UL-recognized fuel gas detectors are
A
recommended in all enclosed propane and natural gas applications wherein there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to accumulate and their installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations, or customs.
WARNING: Do not install within 3 feet (0.9 m) of
A
a heat pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong air intake from this type of equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury.
WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an
A
area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage electrical components, and void the warranty.
4
CAUTION: Elevated water temperature can be
A
hazardous. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission has these guidelines:
1. Spa water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C) is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during the rst
three months of pregnancy resulting in the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child. Pregnant women should stick to the 100°F (38°C) maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should check the water temperature with an accurate thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err in regulating water temperatures by as much as 4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease, circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure problems should obtain a physician’s advice before using pools or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines, or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot tubs.
CAUTION: Propane gas is heavier than air and will
A
settle on the ground. Since propane can accumulate in
conned areas, extra care should be exercised when
lighting propane heaters.

2. WATER CHEMISTRY

NOTE: Corrosive water voids all warranties.
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to your heater and associated equipment. Maintain your water chemistry according to Table A. If the mineral content and dissolved solids in the water become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchanger tubes, reducing heater e󰀩ciency and damaging the heater. If the pH drops below
7.2, this will cause corrosion of the heat exchanger and
severely damage the heater. Heat exchanger damage
resulting from chemical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equipment, it is essential that your water be chemically balanced. The following levels must be used as a guide for balanced water.
CAUTION: Free chlorine must not exceed 5 ppm
A
which can damage the heater and is not covered under warranty.
Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa water should not damage the heater providing the water is balanced.
Automatic chemical dosing devices and salt chlorinators are usually more efficient in heated water, unless controlled, they can lead to excessive chlorine level which can damage your heater.
Check valve should be installed between the heater outlet and a chlorinator or other chemical dosing device.
Further advice should be obtained from your pool or spa builder, accredited pool shop, or chemical supplier for the correct levels for your water.

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 sanitizing chemicals in the skimmer. High chemical concentrations will result when the pump is not running (e.g. 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 o󰀨.
See "Plumbing Diagrams" on page 21.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause rapid corrosion to the heat exchanger. Such damage is not covered under the warranty.

Vent Piping

WARNING: Indoor heaters require a drafthood that
A
must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause
re or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.
Flue materials must be certied to CATEGORY I or better. Type “B” double-wall or equivalent vent pipe is recommended. A draft of -0.01" to -0.08" WC must be maintained. However single-wall metal vent pipe may be used as specied in the latest edition of the National Flue Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).
When properly installed outdoors, only the outdoor stackless top (provided) is required. If installed indoors, a drafthood is required, connected to a CATEGORY I (a heater that operates with a non-positive vent static pressure and a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.) vent per the National Fuel Gas Code and local requirements.
Vent piping the same size as the drafthood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least 10 ft (3 m) (drafthood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced by no more than one (1) size as specied in Chapter 13 of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).
As much as possible, avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows. If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum of 1/4 in. per ft rise (20.8 mm per meter rise) and should be supported at not more than ve foot (1.5 m) intervals.
Plumber's tape, criss-crossed, will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Gas vents supported only by the ashing and extending above the roof more than 5 ft (1.5 m) should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacers through the roof and walls.

D-2 Power Vent Kit

Another option for an installation that requires horizontal runs is the D-2 power vent kit option.

336A 010745 009833
399/406A 010745 009833
Table J. Power Vent Kit Part Numbers
NOTE: The D-2 Power Vent operates with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that prevents excessive condensate production in the vent, and as such, is a CATEGORY III appliance. For more information consult the D-2 Power Vent manual, Catalog no. 6000.57.1. CATEGORY I vent material such as B-vent must not be used under CATEGORY III conditions.
For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the 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 (Canada - CAN/CSA-B149).
The discharge opening must be a minimum of 2' (0.6 m) vertically from the roof surface and at least 2' (0.6 m) higher than any part of the building within 8' (2.4 m). Vent stack shall be at least 5' (1.5 m) in vertical height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location shall have a minimum clearance of 4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, and in no case below, unless a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment.
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on the heater drafthood. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The heater top and drafthood must be readily removable for maintenance and inspection. Vent pipe should be adequately supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible construction.
Figure 10. D-2 Power Vent Option
The power vent system is a fan-assisted vent system designed for use on models 206A-406A.
The power vent system, when installed as directed, is capable of operating in applications such as through-the­wall venting with reduced horizontal and vertical vent pipe sizes in new and current installations. The unit is factory­wired for 240 VAC, with capability of eld-rewiring for 120
VAC.
For more information consult the D-2 Power Vent manual, (Catalog No. 6000.57.1).

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-o󰀨 valve located outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be tested after installation in accordance with local codes.
CAUTION: The heater and its manual shut-o󰀨 valve
A
must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Dissipate test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and
its manual shut o󰀨 valve to gas supply line. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. 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 ame.
