SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard
Do not use equipment in area containing
corrosive chemicals.
Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in product damage.
The installer is responsible for the following:
• To install the heater, as well as the gas and
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon LLC
recommends the installer contact a Local
Building Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.
• To use the information given in a layout drawing
and in the manual together with the cited codes
and regulations to perform the installation.
• To install the heater in accordance with the
clearances to combustibles.
• To furnish all needed materials not supplied as
standard equipment.
• To plan location of supports, vents and air
intakes.
• To provide access for servicing.
• To provide the owner with a copy of this
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.
• To never use heater as support for a ladder or
other access equipment and never hang or
suspend anything from heater.
• To ensure there is adequate air circulation
around the heater and to supply air for
combustion, ventilation and distribution in
accordance with local codes.
• To provide a method that ensures that the air flow
through the heat exchanger is within the
acceptable range indicated on the serial plate
prior to energizing the heater, and that such air
flow continues at least 90 seconds after the
heater is de-energized.
• To ensure the heater is placed in an approved
application.
2.1 Wall Tag
A laminated wall tag is included with the heater as a
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and
the importance of the required clearances to
combustibles. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing
of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and
position the tag on a wall near the heater.
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91039831) is illustrated
on the back cover.
Know your model number and installed
configuration. Model number and installed
configuration are found on the heater serial plate
and throughout the Installation, Operation and
Service Manual.
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Roberts-Gordon LLC cannot be responsible for
ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are
undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the
responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the
contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner
identifies the presence of combustible materials,
corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons*
anywhere in the premises.
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life
span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An outside air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the
presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be
invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes
All appliances must be installed in accordance with
the latest revision of the applicable standards and
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,
etc. may be applicable. See Page 8, Section 5.

SECTION 6: DUCT HEATER INSTALLATION
6.1 General
To connect the inlet and outlet ducts to the heater,
Duct-Mate or similar flanges may be slid over the
duct connector flanges supplied on the unit and
secured with screws. The connection to the duct
then can be made using the Duct-Mate clips. The
ducts must have removable access panels
upstream and downstream of the heater. These
panels must be of appropriate size and placement
so that smoke or reflected light could be observed to
indicate the presence of leaks in the heat
exchanger. Covers for these openings should be
sealed to prevent leakage.
Any transition into the inlet of the heater should be
smooth, with a taper of no more than 15 degrees. If
elbows are required, they should be of either broad
radius or fitted with properly designed turning vanes.
Consult a professional to ensure turning vanes are
properly designed.
The heater must be installed on the positive
pressure side of the circulating air blower. Air flow
through the heater must be as shown on Page 10,
Figure 5 and may not be reversed. The air flow
must
be adjusted such that it is within the acceptable
range shown on Page 10, Section 6.1.2.
The minimum inlet duct lengths shown on Page 10,
Section 6.1.1 must be observed. Pressure drop
through the heat exchanger at various air flows is
shown on Page 10, Section 6.1.2.

7. 1 V e n t i n g
This heater must be vented in accordance with the
rules contained in this manual and with the following
national codes and any state, provincial or local
codes which may apply: United States: Refer to
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National
Fuel Gas Code; Canada: Refer to CSA B149.1
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
Any portion of vent pipe passing through a
combustible wall must have a listed thimble to
conform with the above codes.
The bottom of the vent or air intake terminal shall not
be located less than 1' (.3 m) above grade level.
The vent shall not terminate less than 7' (2.1 m)
above grade where located adjacent to public
walkways.
Vent terminal must be installed at a height sufficient
to prevent blockage by snow and building materials
protected from degradation by flue gasses.
Vent terminal must be beyond any combustible
overhang.
Secure all joints with corrosion resistant #8 x 3/8"
sheet metal screws.
For single wall venting, pressure sensitive aluminum
tape or silicone sealant must be used to seal all
joints.
Aluminum tape shall have a minimum temperature
rating of 400° F (204° C) and meet SMACNA AFTS100-73 standards. High temperature silicone sealant
must have a minimum temperature rating of 480° F
(250° C).
7.1.1 United States Requirements
Vent must terminate at least 3' (.9 m) above any
forced air inlet located within 10' (3.1 m).
Vent must terminate at least 4' (1.2 m) below,
4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, or 1' (.3 m) above any
door, operable window, or gravity air inlet into any
12 of 57
building.
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National
Fuel Gas Code specifies a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal vent
terminal clearance from gas and electric meters,
regulators and relief equipment.
7. 1. 2 C a n a d i a n Re quirements
The vent shall not terminate within 6' (1.8 m) of a
mechanical air supply inlet to any building.
The vent shall not terminate within 3' (.9 m) of a
window or door that can be opened in any building,
any non-mechanical air supply inlet to any building,
or of the combustion air inlet of any other appliance.
7.2 Vent Installation
Maintain clearances to combustibles at all times for
safety. Clearances are the required distances that
combustible objects must be away from the heater
to prevent serious fire hazard. See Page 7
4. For vented units, the vent must terminate outside
of the building.
Vents must be fully sealed and correctly sized for
the model. If the vent passes through a wall or
ceiling of combustible material, it must be enclosed
by a listed thimble and be separated from the
thimble by at least a 2" (5 cm) air gap.
For separated combustion models, vents and air
intakes must be a fully sealed system and correctly
sized for the model. Vent should be assembled as
detailed on Page 13, Figure 7 through Page 17,
Figure 12.
The joints between the vent terminal and the roof or
wall must be properly sealed.
Vents and air intakes must be adequately
supported so that the heater does not bear the
weight of the pipes.
For vent termination See Page 13, Figure 7 through
Page 17, Figure 12.
7.2.1 Standard Vented Heaters
(Models UHD[T][X][R] 150 - 250 and Models
UHD[X][R] 300 - 400)
The vent must be fitted with a low resistance
terminal. See Page 13, Figure 7 through Page 15,
Figure 9. Standard vented heaters do not allow
outdoor air intake for combustion air.
7.2.2 Separated Combustion Heaters
(Models UHD[T][X]S[R] 150 - 250 and Models
UHD[X]S[R] 300 - 400)
The heaters are designed to be installed as
separated combustion heaters. The vent and air
intake are ru
n as separate pipes to the wall or roof

terminals. See Page 16, Figure 10. As an option, the
vent and air intake are run as separate pipes to a
concentric vent box and a concentric vent/air intake
pipe penetrates the wall or roof. See Page 16,
Figure 11 and Page 17, Figure 12.
For separated combustion installation, the vent and
air intake must be fitted with an individual and
correctly sized sealed system and the vent and air
intake must terminate at approved wall and roof
terminals.
Separated combustion units may not be common
vented.
7.3 Horizontal Venting
Horizontally vented heaters must be individually
vented, no common venting.
Vent pipe must be sloped ¼" (.6 cm) downward for
every 1' (.3 m).
In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal (P/N
02537801-1P) may be used.
For 4'' (10 cm) vents in either combustible or
noncombustible walls, use vent terminal (P/N
90502100) or equivalent insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.
Instead of an insulated vent terminal, a listed thimble
with 2" (5 cm) air gap may be used with a 4" (10 cm)
vent cap (P/N 90502102).
7.6 Vent Material
Vent material may be single wall 26 ga. (minimum)
galvanized steel or equal thickness stainless steel.
Completely seal all joints, refer to Page 12, Section
7.2.
If penetrating a combustible wall or roof, a listed
thimble with 2" (5 cm) clearance must be used.
Where local codes permit, a single section of type
B-1 vent material may be used at the roof or wall
penetration instead of a thimble. Ensure vent
manufacturer's clearance from vent material is
maintained. Seal annular space of the type B-1 vent
as well as all joints in the remaining vent.
Figure 7: Vent and Roof Detail
7.4 Vertical Ventin
g
Vertically vented standard vented heaters can be
common vented (up to four heaters).
For 4'' (10 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502102) must be used.
For 6'' (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502103) must be used.
