2. The overlap at the first and second reflector is a slip overlap.

Thereafter, every third reflector joint is a slip overlap. A slip
overlap is achieved by either:
a.) both reflectors lay inside a hanger.

(No reflector support needed.)

b.) using a reflector support with

loose screws at the reflector
overlap.

3. The remaining reflector overlaps require a non-slip
overlap connection. To affix the reflectors together in
a non-slip overlap either:
a.) use reflector support and tight screws.
b.) if both reflectors lay inside a hanger, u-clips or

sheet metal screws may be used.

This section of three reflectors joined together must
be affixed to the tube with at least one reflector support
with tight screws.

SECTION 8: VENTING

combustible wall must have an approved thimble
to conform with the above listed codes.

Vent pipe must be sloped downward away from the
heater 1/2'' (1 cm) for every 20' (6 m).

The heater may be individually vented or common
vented. When venting horizontally, a maximum of two
heaters can be commonly vented. See Page 37,
Section 8.9. When venting vertically, a maximum of
four heaters can be commonly vented. See Page 38,
Section 8.10.

The heater may also be installed unvented in certain
circumstances according to building ventilation
codes. Refer to the above codes and Page 35,
Section 8.2 for further information. Unvented
operation also requires compliance with the
clearances to combustibles given on Page 8, Figure

12.

The bottom of the vent or air intake terminal shall not
be located less than 1' (0.3 m) above grade level.

8.1 Venting

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 National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision.
Canada: Refer to Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code CSA B149.1 - latest revision.

Exhaust end of heater will accept a 4'' (10 cm) vent
pipe using the vent adapter (P/N 90502700). To
prevent leakage of condensation, install the vent
adapter with the seam on top and seal the joint using
a high temperature silicone sealant.

Any portion of vent pipe passing through a

34

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 gases.

Secure all joints with #8 x 3/8 sheet metal screws.
Seal all joints with high temperature silicone sealant.

Vent terminal must be beyond any combustible
overhang.

8.1.1 United States Requirements

Vent must terminate at least 3' (0.9 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' (0.3 m) above any
door, operable window, or gravity air inlet into any
building.

8.1.2 Canadian Requirements

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' (0.9 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.

SECTION 8: VENTING

WARNING

Combustion by-products contain a chemical
known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

8.2 Unvented Operation

Sufficient ventilation must be provided in the amount
of 4 cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (United States); 3
cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (Canada).
Use of optional outside combustion air is not
recommended with unvented heaters.

If exhaust fans are used to supply ventilation air, an
interlock switch must be used to prevent the heater
from coming on when the fans are off. This may be
done using a pressure switch.

8.3 Horizontal Venting

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 Tjernlund VH1-4 (P/N

90502100) or equivalent, insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.

FIGURE 22: Tube Termination

8.6 Length Requirements

The maximum vent length allowed is 45' (13.7 m).
The maximum outside air supply duct length allowed
is 45' (13.7 m).
The total vent length, plus outside air duct length,
plus any extensions to minimum heat exchanger
lengths, cannot exceed 65' (19.8 m).

Vent length should be limited to less than 20' (6 m). If
using vent lengths greater than 20' (6 m),
condensation will form in the vent pipe. Insulation
and additional sealing measures (high temperature
silicone at all seams) are required. Optional heat
exchanger beyond minimum lengths is considered as
vent length for length determination.
Subtract 15' (4.6 m) of maximum allowed vent or duct
length per vent elbow if more than two are used.

For 6" (15 cm) common vents in either combustible
or noncombustible walls, use Tjernlund VH1-6 (P/N

90502101) or equivalent, insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.

8.4 Vertical Venting

For 4'' (10 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502300) must be used.

For 6'' (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502302) must be used.
For common vertical venting of more than two
heaters, See Page 38, Section 8.10.

A vent shall not extend less than 2' (0.6m) above the
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a
building.

8.5 Unvented Operation Tube Termination

Turndown type vent terminal with a screen must be
installed at the exhaust end of the tube. Vent terminal
design shall not incorporate backdraft flap.

SECTION 9: GAS PIPING

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Tighten gas hose fittings to connect gas
supply according to Figure 23.

Gas hose can crack when twisted.

Gas hose moves during normal operation.

Use only 36" (91 cm) long connector of 1/2" or
3/4" nominal ID.

Connector supplied with heater for U.S.
models (not with Canadian models).

Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Leak test all components of gas piping
before operation.

Gas can leak if piping is not installed prop­erly.

Do not high pressure test gas piping with
burner connected.

Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, injury or property damage.

SECTION 9: GAS PIPING

Install the gas hose as shown in Figure 23. The gas
hose accommodates expansion of the heating
system and allows for easy installation and service of
the burner. Before connecting the burners to the
supply system, verify that all high pressure testing of
the gas piping has been completed.
There is an expansion of the tube with each firing
cycle; this will cause the burner to move with respect
to the gas hose. This can cause a gas leak resulting
in an unsafe condition if the gas connection is not
made strictly in accordance with Figure 23.
Meter and service must be large enough to handle all
the burners being installed plus any other connected
load. The gas hose which feeds the system must be
large enough to supply the required gas with a
maximum pressure drop of 1/2" w.c. When gas piping
is not included in the layout drawing, the local gas
supplier will usually help in planning the gas piping.

Gas lines must meet applicable codes:
United States: The Flexible Stainless Steel Gas
Hose (US models) supplied with the heater is certi­fied per the Standard for Connectors for Gas Appli­ances, ANSI Z21.24/CSA 6.10 - latest revision.
Canada: The Rubber Type 1 Gas Hose (Canadian
models) optional with the heater is certified as being
in compliance with the Standard for Elastomeric
Composite Hose and Hose Couplings for Conducting
Propane and Natural Gas, CAN/CGA 8.1 - Latest
revision.

• Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks
before placing heating equipment into
service. When checking for gas leaks, use a
soap and water solution; never use an open
flame.

SECTION 11: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

raising it again to desired temperature, or by
This heater is equipped with a direct spark ignition
system.

11.1 S e quence of Operation

1. Turn the thermostat up. When the thermostat
calls for heat, the blower motor will energize.

2. When the motor approaches nominal running
RPM, the pressure switch closes and activates
the ignition module.

3. After a 45 second prepurge, the ignition module
then opens the gas valve and energizes the
spark igniter.

4. When the flame is established, the sparking
sequence ceases.

5. If the flame is not established during the ignition
sequence, the ignition module closes the gas
valve and purge begins. Module will try 2
additional times for ignition (with purges in
between trials). If ignition is not established, the
module will lockout.

6. If the flame extinguishes during operation, the
ignition module will attempt the multiple trial
sequence described in step 5. If ignition is not
re-established, the module will lockout for one
hour or until reset.

7. After lockout, the control can be reset by turning
down thermostat for five seconds, and then

disconnecting power and then reconnecting.

8. When thermostat is satisfied, all power to the
unit is shut off.

11.2 To Shut Off Heater

Set thermostat to lowest setting.
Turn OFF electric power to heater.
Turn OFF manual gas valve in the heater supply line.

11.3 To Start Heater

Turn gas valve and electric power OFF and wait five
minutes for unburned gases to vent from heater.
Turn ON main gas valve.
Turn ON electric power.
Set thermostat to desired temperature.
Burner should light automatically.

11.4 Pre-Season Maintenance and Annual
Inspection

To ensure your safety and years of trouble-free
operation of the heating system, service and annual
inspections must be done by a contractor qualified in
the installation and service of gas-fired heating
equipment.
Turn off gas and electric supplies before performing
service or maintenance. Allow heater to cool before
servicing.
Before every heating season, a contractor qualified in
the installation and service of gas-fired heating
equipment must perform a thorough safety
inspection of the heater.
