Figure 1. Model SCE Unit Heater
Installation should be performed by a qualified agency in accordance with the instructions in this manual and in
compliance with all codes and requirements of authorities having jurisdiction.
Model SCE is design-certified by the Canadian Standards Association to ANSI Standards and is available for use with
either natural or propane gas. The type of gas, the rate, and the electrical characteristics are on the unit rating plate.
This separated-combustion unit is designed and manufactured in accordance with the ANSI definition of separated
combustion, which reads, “Separated Combustion System Appliance: A system consisting of an appliance and
a vent cap(s) supplied by the manufacturer, and (1) combustion air connections between the appliance and the
outside atmosphere, and (2) flue gas connections between the appliance and vent cap, of a type(s) specified by the
manufacturer but supplied by the installer, constructed so that, when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, air for combustion is obtained from the outside atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outside
atmosphere.”
Separated-combustion units are designed to separate air for combustion and flue products from the environment of
the building in which the unit is installed. Separated-combustion appliances are recommended for use in dust-laden
and some corrosive-fume environments or in buildings with negative pressure (up to 0.15 IN WC). As the definition
states, all separated-combustion, power-vented equipment must be equipped with both combustion-air and exhaust
piping to the outdoors.
INSTALLATION CODES
These units must be installed in accordance with local building codes. In the absence of local codes, in the United
States, the unit must be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 (latest
edition). The code is available from CSA Information Services, 1-800-463-6727. Local authorities having jurisdiction
should be consulted before installation is made to verify local codes and installation procedure requirements.
These gas-fired products are certified by ANSI Z83 family of standards governing the safe usage of heating equipment
in the industrial/commercial marketplace. This includes using the heaters in makeup air applications to supply corridor
pressurization in commercial buildings such as office structures and apartment complexes.
The heaters are not certified as residential heating equipment and should not be used as such.
Clearances from the heater and vent to combustible construction or material in storage must conform with the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) pertaining to gas-burning devices, and such material must not attain a

UNCRATING/UNPACKING
The furnace is shipped completely-assembled. Immediately upon uncrating, check the gas specifications and electrical
characteristics of the unit to be sure that they agree with the gas and electric supply at the installation site.
Check the unit for any damage that may have been incurred during shipment. If damage is found, document the
damage with the transporting agency and immediately contact your distributor. If you are an authorized distributor,
follow the FOB freight policy procedures.
NOTE: After removing the shipping clips that fasten the unit to the crate, it is required that the
bolts that attach the shipping clips be reinstalled for support.
The bottom corners are fastened to the crate using angled shipping clips. Remove the bolts from the shipping clips
and remove the clips. Reinstall the bolts on the heater legs to support the corner leg and the heater bottom.
To protect the unit during shipping, blower models have special supports that must be removed before installation.
Remove the special supports as follows:
• Blower Support Legs: Remove the blower support legs and screws.
• Motor Shipping Block: Remove the wooden block located under the motor bracket. Find the two rubber pads
shipped in the instruction envelope. Place these pads on the ends of the motor bracket bolts.
• Motor Shipping Plate: Units equipped with motors of 1-1/2 HP or less have a metal shipping plate attached between
the motor and the blower housing. The shipping plate must be removed and the plate and screws discarded. on
a unit factory-equipped with an optional belt guard, the belt guard must be removed to reach the shipping plate.
Vent Terminal/Combustion Air Inlet Kit with Concentric Adapter Box
The concentric adapter box assembly in the venting/combustion air kit (option CC2 or CC6) is required on all
separated-combustion models. Ensure that the concentric adapter box carton is at the installation site (refer to parts
list in Table 6 or Table 8).
Shipped-Separate Parts
Some gas control options have parts that are either shipped loose—with the heater—or shipped separate. Before
beginning installation, ensure that any shipped-separate parts ordered are available at the site. Shipped-separate
options could include a shutoff valve, a condensate drain kit, a thermostat, a remote console, a disconnect switch, or
high-temperature vent sealing tape. Also, if your unit is equipped with any of the gas control options listed in Table

CLEARANCES
Clearance to combustibles is defined as the minimum distance—from the heater to a surface or object—that is
necessary to ensure that a surface temperature of 90°F (50°C) above the surrounding ambient temperature is not
exceeded. For safety and convenience, ensure that the clearances listed in Table 3 are provide as shown in the
following table. Minimum clearances are also listed on the heater rating plate.

LOCATION
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
Do not locate the heater where it may be exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water.
For best results, the heater should be placed with certain rules in mind. In general, a unit should be located from
8 to 12 feet (2.6 to 3.6 M) above the floor. Units should always be arranged to blow toward or along exposed wall
surfaces, if possible. Where two or more units are installed in the same room, a general scheme of air circulation
should be maintained.
Suspended heaters are most effective when located as close to the working zone as possible, and this fact should
be kept in mind when determining the mounting heights to be used. However, avoid directing the discharged air
directly on the room occupants.
Partitions, columns, counters, or other obstructions should be taken into consideration when locating the unit heater,
so that a minimum quantity of airflow will be deflected by such obstacles. When units are located in the center of the
space to be heated, the air should be discharged toward the exposed walls. In large areas, units should be located
to discharge air along exposed walls with extra units provided to discharge air in toward the center of the area.
At those points where infiltration of cold air is excessive, such as at entrance doors and shipping doors, it is desirable
to locate the unit so that it will discharge directly toward the source of cold air from a distance of 15 to 20 feet (4.5
to 6 M).
WEIGHTS
Before installation, check the supporting structure to ensure that it has sufficient load-carrying capacity to support
the weight of the unit. Refer to Table 4, which lists unit weight based on unit size.

Figure 6. Duct Connection Dimensions
Requirements and Suggestions for Connecting and Installing Ducts
• Type of Ductwork: The type of duct installation to be used depends in part on the construction type of the roof—
whether wood or steel bar joist, steel truss, or pre-cast concrete—and the ceiling—whether hung, flush, etc.
• Ductwork Material: Rectangular duct should be constructed of galvanized iron—not lighter than No. 26 US gauge
—or aluminum—No. 24 B&S gauge.
• Ductwork Structure: All duct sections 24 inches (610 mm) or wider and over 48 inches (1219 mm) in length
should be cross-broken on top and bottom and should have standing seams or angle-iron braces. Joints should
be S and drive strip or locked.
• Through Masonry Walls: No warm air duct should come in contact with masonry walls. Insulate around all air
duct through masonry walls with 1-inch (not less than 1/2-inch) of insulation.
• Through Unheated Space: Insulate all exposed warm air ducts passing through an unheated space with 1-inch
(not less than 1/2-inch) of insulation.
• Duct Supports: Suspend all ducts securely from adjacent buildings members. Do not support ducts from unit
duct connections.
• Duct Sizing: Proper sizing of the supply air ductwork is necessary to ensure a satisfactory heating installation. The
recognized authority for duct size is the Air Conditioning Contractor’s Association, 2800 Shirlington Road, Suite 300,
Arlington, VA 22206 (www.acca.org). A manual covering duct sizing in detail may be purchased directly from them.
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
To prevent possible motor overloading, ensure that the external duct system static pressure is
within the limits shown on the rating plate and that the motor pulley and belt are properly adjusted.
• Horizontal Discharge Duct Length: To reduce losses at the furnace outlet, a minimum horizontal duct run of 24
inches (610 mm) is recommended before turns or branches are made in the duct system.
⚠ CAUTION ⚠
The joint where the supply air duct attaches to the furnace must be sealed securely to prevent
air leakage into draft hood or burner rack area. Leakage can cause poor combustion and pilot
problems, can shorten heat exchanger life, and can cause poor performance.
8
I-SCE (09-18) PN207697R9
• Supply Air Duct/Furnace Horizontal Connection: The seal between the furnace and the duct must be mechanical
DETAIL A
using U-type flanges on the top and bottom of the connecting duct to to ensure tight joints and an airtight fit. Refer
to Figure 7 and perform the following steps:
(1) Ensure that flanges on the furnace (heat exchanger) turn out as shown.
(2) Shape duct connection as shown: U-type on top and bottom and L-type on sides.
(3) Slide U-channels over furnace top and bottom flanges making connection.
(4) Form U-channels to seal sides (see DETAIL A) and drill and lock with sheet metal screws.
• Access Panels: Install removable access panels (see Figure 7) on both the upstream and downstream sides of
the furnace. The access panels must be accessible when the furnace is in service and should be a minimum of
6 × 10 inches (152 × 254 mm) in size so smoke or reflected light may be observed inside the casing to indicate
the presence of leaks in the heat exchanger. Ensure that the access panels are installed in such a manner so as
to prevent leakage.
• Return Air Duct/Furnace Connection: All return air ducts should be attached and sealed to the return air flanges
to provide airtight connections.
• Return Air Duct/Grill Size: Ensure that return air ducting or grills have a free area equal to the size of the return
duct connection.
Figure 7. Connecting Ductwork to Furnace
VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR
⚠ WARNING ⚠
Do not use an existing venting system. This heater requires installation of the combustion air/vent
system ordered with the unit (either Option CC2 or Option CC6). Vent installation to be any listed
vent system manufacturer. Do not intermix different vent system parts from different manufacturers
in the same venting system.
All separated-combustion, power-vented units MUST BE equipped with both combustion air and exhaust piping to
the outdoors. The unique concentric adapter box designed for use with this heater allows for both combustion air
and exhaust piping with only one horizontal or vertical penetration hole in the building.
These instructions apply to installation and use of the concentric adapter and vent/combustion air kit (option CC2 or
CC6) designed for use with all Reznor separated-combustion products. The systems illustrated in this manual are
the only venting/combustion air systems approved for these separated-combustion units. Do not use this concentric
adapter box with any other products.
Installation should be done by a qualified agency in accordance with these instructions. The service agency installing
this separated-combustion system is responsible for the installation.
Hazards of Chlorine
⚠ WARNING ⚠
SC Series separated-combustion units are not designed or approved for use in atmospheres
containing flammable vapors or atmospheres highly-laden with chlorinated vapors.
I-SCE (09-18) PN207697R9

VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR—CONTINUED
Hazards of Chlorine—Continued
Remember, chlorine is heavier than air. This fact should be kept in mind when determining the
installation location of heaters and building exhaust systems. The presence of chlorine vapors in the
combustion air of heating equipment presents a potential corrosion hazard. Chlorine, found usually in the form of
Freon or degreaser vapors, when exposed to flame will precipitate from the compound and form a solution with
any condensation present in the heat exchanger or associated parts. The result is hydrochloric acid, which readily
attacks all metals, including 300 grade stainless steel. Care should be taken to separate these vapors from the
combustion process. This may be done by wise location of the unit vent terminal and combustion air inlet with regard
to exhausters or prevailing wind directions.
Specific Venting Requirements: Piping
⚠ WARNING ⚠
Do not use an existing venting system. This heater requires installation of the combustion air/
vent system ordered with the unit (either Option CC2 or Option CC6). Vent installation to be
any listed vent system manufacturer. Do not intermix different vent system parts from different
manufacturers in the same venting system.
All pipe is field-supplied. Requirements for both the vent pipe and the combustion air inlet pipe are as follows:
• Vent Pipe: Vent pipe approved for a Category III appliance OR single-wall, 26-gauge or heavier galvanized (or a
material of equivalent durability and corrosion resistance) vent pipe is required between the heater and the concentric
adapter box. Double-wall (type B) vent pipe is required for the vent terminal section. The length of vent pipe that
extends through the box and runs concentric through the combustion air pipe must be one piece with no joints.
• Combustion Air Pipe: Sealed, single-wall galvanized pipe is recommended for combustion air.
• Pipe Length and Diameter: Vent pipe diameters and maximum indoor vent lengths apply to both horizontal and
vertical vents. Pipe diameter and length requirements listed for the indoor sections of pipe—between the heater
and the concentric adapter box—are listed in Table 5.
NOTE: Add all straight sections and equivalent lengths for elbows. The total length of the
straight sections and elbows must not exceed the maximum length.

Specific Venting Requirements: Support
Support horizontal runs every six feet (1.8 M). Support vertical runs of type “B” double-wall or Category III vent pipe
in accordance with the requirements of the pipe manufacturer. Support single-wall vertical pipe in accordance with
accepted industry practices. Do not rely on the heater or the adapter box for support of either horizontal or vertical
pipes. Use noncombustible supports on vent pipe.
NOTE: The double-wall vent terminal pipe does not attach to the concentric adapter box and
must be supported during installation.
Specific Venting Requirements: Clearance
Do not enclose the vent pipe or place pipe closer than 6 inches (152 mm) to combustible material.
Specific Venting Requirements: Concentric Adapter Box
The concentric adapter box (PN 205885) is included in the vent/combustion air kit. Installation instructions depend
on whether the vent system is horizontal (option CC6) or vertical (option CC2). All separated-combustion installations
require a concentric adapter box as shown in Figure 10.

Specific Venting Requirements: Concentric Adapter Box Pipe Connections
NOTE: Do NOT make actual connections until after reading the instructions and length requirements for installing the vent/combustion air kit. The connection requirements are the same for
both vertical and horizontal systems, but the length of the double-wall pipe will vary.
When pipe diameters differ, depending on direction of airflow, join the pipes with either a tapered reducer or enlarger
as shown in Figure 11.

⚠ DANGER ⚠
To prevent combustion products from entering the occupied space, all vent terminals must be
positioned or located away from fresh air intakes, doors, and windows. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.
1. Determine vent terminal location on outside wall:
a. Refer to Table 5 to ensure that location complies with vent length requirements.
b. For most applications, ensure that vent terminal is level with heater mounting height.
14
I-SCE (09-18) PN207697R9
c. Allow downward pitch of 1/4-inch per foot (6 mm per 305 mm) for condensate drain.
NOTE: Local codes supersede all provisions in these instructions and in National Fuel Gas
Code Z223.1.
d. Ensure that distance of vent terminal from adjacent public walkways and buildings and window and building
openings complies with local codes. Absent any local codes, distance must comply with National Fuel Gas
Code Z223.1.
NOTE: Products of combustion can cause discoloration of some building finishes and deterioration of masonry materials. A clear silicone sealant normally used to protect concrete driveways may be used to protect masonry materials from discoloration and deterioration. If discoloration is an esthetic problem relocate the vent or install a vertical vent.
e. Refer to Table 7 to ensure that location complies with minimum clearance requirements.
⚠ DANGER ⚠
• To prevent combustion products from entering the occupied space, all vent terminals must be
positioned or located away from fresh air intakes, doors, and windows. Failure to comply could
result in severe personal injury or death and/or property damage.
• Consider local snow depth conditions. The vent must be at least 6 inches (152 mm) above the
anticipated snow depth.

2. Install vent pipe and combustion air pipe runs:
a. Connect piping to heater in accordance with specifications listed above in Specific Venting Requirements:
Piping and Specific Venting Requirements: Venter Outlet and Combustion Air Inlet Connections.
b. Seal all joints in accordance with specifications listed above in Specific Venting Requirements: Joints and
Sealing. Due to high temperature considerations, do not enclose exhaust pipe or place pipe closer than 6
inches (152 mm) to combustible material.
c. Extend piping runs close to wall location selected in step 1 and support piping in accordance with specifications
listed above in Specific Venting Requirements: Support.
NOTE: The larger diameter combustion air pipe serves as clearance for the vent pipe on noncombustible construction. A thimble may be required depending on wall construction and/or
local codes.
3. Cut hole through outside wall for combustion air pipe.
a. Ensure that outside wall construction thickness is between 1 inch (25 mm) minimum and 48 inches (1143
mm) maximum.
b. Ensure that hole accommodates 8-inch (203-mm) combustion air pipe.
