MOUNTING HEIGHT: Unit Heaters must be installed at
a minimum of 8 feet (2.4m) abov e the fl oor , measured to
the bottom of the unit. At heights abo ve 8 feet (2.4m), less
efficient air distribution will result. Occasionally unit
heaters must be mounted at heights of 12 to 16 feet (3.66
to 4.88m) in order to clear obstacles. When this is the
case, it is advisable to use centrifugal blower unit heaters .

of the
8 feet (2.4m) above the fl oor in shops, offi ces and other
sections of the hangar where aircraft are not stored or
housed. Refer to current ANSI/NFPA No. 409, Aircraft
Hangars. In Canada, installation is suitable in aircraft
hangars when acceptable to the enforcing authorities.
PUBLIC GARAGES: In repair garages, unit heaters must
be at least 8 feet (2.4m) abov e the fl oor. Ref er to the latest
edition of NFPA No. 88B, Repair Garages.
In parking structures, unit heaters must be installed
so that the burner flames are located a minimum of
18 inches (457mm) above the floor or protected by a
partition not less than 18 inches (457mm) high. Howe ver,
any unit heater mounted in a parking structure less than
8 feet (2.4m) above the fl oor must be equipped with an
OSHA approved fan guard. Refer to the latest edition of
NFPA 88A, Parking Structures.
In Canada, installation must be in accordance to the
latest edition of CSA-B149 “Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment.”
AIR DISTRIBUTION: Direct air towards areas of
maximum heat loss. When multiple heaters are in volved,
circulation of air around the perimeter is recommended
where heated air fl ows along exposed walls. Satisfactory
results can also be obtained where multiple heaters are
located toward the center of the area with heated air
directed toward the outside walls. Be careful to avoid
all obstacles and obstructions which could impede the
warm air distribution patterns. Heat throw distances are
presented in Table 2, and Figure 2A.

INSTALLATION (continued)
Unit heaters should not be installed to maintain low
temperatures and/or freeze protection of buildings. A
minimum of 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting must be
maintained. If unit heaters are operated to maintain lower
than 50°F (10°C), hot fl ue gases are cooled inside the
heat exchanger to a point where water v apor (a fl ue gas
by-product) condenses onto the heat exchanger walls . The
result is a mildly corrosive acid that prematurely corrodes
the aluminized heat exchanger and can actually drip water
down from the unit heater onto fl oor surface. Additional
unit heaters should be installed if a minimum 50°F (10°C)
thermostat setting cannot be maintained.
NOTICE: Unit heater sizing should be based on heat
loss calculations where the unit heater output equals
or exceeds heat loss. Heater output is approximately
80% of input BTU/HR rating.
CLEARANCES: Each Gas Unit Heater shall be located
with respect to building construction and other equipment
so as to permit access to the Unit Heater. Clearance
between walls and the vertical sides of the Unit Heater
shall be no less than 18 inches (457mm). A minimum
clearance of 6 inches (152mm) must be maintained
between the top of the Unit Heater and the ceiling. The
bottom of the Unit Heater must be no less than 12 inches
(305 mm) from any combustible. However, in order to
ensure access to the burner compartment, a minimum
distance of 25 inches (635mm) is required. The distance
between the fl ue collector and any combustible must be
no less than 6 inches (152mm). Also see COMB USTION
AIR and EXHAUST VENTING sections.
Make certain that the structure
to which the heater is mounted is capable of
supporting its weight. Under no circumstances
must the gas lines, the venting system or the
electrical conduit be used to support the heater;
nor should any other objects (i.e. ladder, per son)
lean against the heater , gas lines, venting system
or the electrical conduit for support.
Unit heaters must be hung level
from side to side and from front to back, see
Figures 1A through 3B. Failure to do so will
result in poor performance and or premature
failure of the unit.
Ensure that all hardware used in
the suspension of each unit heater is more than
adequate for the job. Failure to do so may result
in extensive property damage, severe personal
injury or death.
personal injury or death!
Refer to fi gures 1 through 4, and dimensional data
per table 1 for suspension of units.
Figure 3A - Heater Mounting*
NOTICE: Increasing the clearance distances may
be necessary if there is a possibility of distortion or
discoloration of adjacent materials.
Make certain that the lifting
methods used to lift the heater and the method
of suspension used in the fi eld installation of the
heater are capable of uniformly supporting the
weight of the heater at all times. Failure to heed
this warning may result in property damage or
personal injury!

GAS SUPPLY PIPING
T o av oid equipment damage or possible personal injury , do not connect gas piping to this
unit until a supply line pressure/leak test has been completed. Connecting the unit before completing
the pressure/leak test may damage the unit gas valve and result in a fi re hazard.
Do not rely on a shut off valve to isolate the unit while conducting gas pressure/leak
tests. These valves may not be completely shut off, exposing the unit gas valve to excessive pressure
and damage.
PIPE SIZING
To provide adequate gas pressure at the gas unit
heater, size the gas piping as follows:
1. Find the cu ft/hr by using the following formula:
Input Btu/Hr.
Cu ft/hr =
1000
2. Refer to Table 3. Match length of pipe in feet with
appropriate “Gas Input - Cu Ft/Hr” figure. This
fi gure can then be matched to the pipe size at the
left of the table.
Example: It is determined that a 67 foot (20.4m) run of
gas pipe is required to connect a 200 MBTU gas unit
heater to a 1,000 Btu/cu. ft (0.29 kW) natur al gas supply .
200,000 Btu/hr
1,000 Btu/cu ft
= 200 Cu ft/hr
NOTICE: If more than one gas unit heater is to be
served by the same piping arrangement, the total
cubic feet per hour input and length of pipe must
be considered.
NOTICE: If the gas unit heater is to be fi red with LP
gas, refer to Table 3 and/or consult the local LP gas
dealer for pipe size information.
NOTICE: HEATER INSTALLATION FOR USE WITH
PROPANE (BOTTLED) GAS MUST BE MADE BY A
QUALIFIED L.P. GAS DEALER OR INSTALLER. HE
WILL INSURE THAT PROPER JOINT COMPOUNDS
ARE USED FOR MAKING PIPE CONNECTIONS;
THAT AIR IS PURGED FROM LINES; THAT A
THOROUGH TEST IS MADE FOR LEAKS BEFORE
OPERATING HEATER; AND THAT IT IS PROPERLY
CONNECTED TO PROPANE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM.

PIPE INSTALLATION
D3631C
1. Install the gas piping in accordance with applicable
local codes.
2. Check gas supply pressure. Each unit heater must
be connected to a manifold pressure and a gas
supply capable of supplying its full rated capacity
(see tabe 4). A field LP tank regulator must be
used to limit the supply pressure to maximum of
14 inch WC (3.5 kPa). All piping should be sized in
accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Standard
Z223.1, National Fuel Gas Code; in Canada,
according to CSA B149. See Tables 1 and 3 for
correct gas supply piping size. If gas pressure is
excessive on natural gas applications, install a
pressure regulating valve in the line upstream from
the main shutoff valve.
3. Adequately support the piping to prevent strain on
the gas manifold and controls.
4. To prevent the mixing of moisture with gas, run
the take-off piping from the top, or side, of the
main.
5. Separated combustion unit heaters optional twostage units, and hydraulic modulating units are
supplied with a combination valve which includes:
(a) Manual “A” valve (b) Manual “B” valve
(c) Solenoid valve (d) Pilot safety (e) Pressure
regulator
Pipe directly in to combination valve (see Figure 4).
6. A 1/8 inch NPT plugged tapping, accessible for test
gauge connection, must be installed immediately
upstream of the gas supply connection to the
appliance.
7. Provide a drip leg in the gas piping near the gas
unit heater. A ground joint union and a manual gas
shutoff valve should be installed ahead of the unit
heater controls to permit servicing. The manual
main shutoff valve must be located external to the
jacket. See Figure 4.
8. Make certain that all connections have been
adequately doped and tightened.
Do not overtighten the inlet gas
piping into the valve. This may cause stresses
that would crack the valve!
NOTICE: Use pipe joint sealant resistant to the
action of liquefied petroleum gases regardless of
gas conducted.
Check all pipe joints for leakage
using a soap solution or other approved method.
Never use an open flame or severe personal
injury or death may occur.
Figure 4 - Pipe Installation, Standard Controls
Never use an open flame to
detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may e xist
which would result in personal injury or death.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than

3. Each unit heater MUST have it’s own vent system. It
MUST NOT be connected to other vent systems or
to a chimney.
4. Use single wall pipe constructed of 26 GA galvanized
steel or a material of equivalent durability and
corrosion resistance for the vent system. For
installations in Canada, use corrosion resistant
and gas-tight, listed vent pipe conforming with local
building codes, or in the absence of local building
codes, with current CSA-B149.1, Installation Codes
for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment
or CSA-B149.2, Installation Codes for Propane Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment.

INSTALLATION - VENTING (continued)
Never use pipe of a diameter
other than that specified in Table 1, page 4!
Never use PVC, ABS or any other non-metallic
pipe for venting! To do so may result in serious
damage to the unit and or severe personal injury
or death!
5. Any run of single wall vent pipe passing through an
unheated space must be insulated with an insulation
suitable to 550°F (288°C).
6. The vent system must be installed to prevent
collection of condensate. Pitch horizontal pipes
downward 1/4 inch per foot (21mm/m) toward the
vent cap to facilitate drainage. Vertical vent pipes
should be piped as depicted in Figure 10.
7. The equivalent length of the vent system must not
be less than 5 feet (1.5m) and must not exceed
50 feet (15.2m). Equivalent length equals the total
length of straight pipe plus 10 feet (4.6m) for each
90° elbow and 5 feet (1.5m) for each 45° elbow.
8. Each slip joint must be secured with at least three
corrosion resistant screws. Two full turns of 3M #425
Aluminum Foil tape or its equivalent must then be
used to seal each joint. General Electric RTV-108,
Dow-Corning RTV-732 or an equivalent ma y be used
instead of the tape.
9. For horizontal vent systems longer than 5 feet
(1.5m), the system must be supported from
overhead building structures at 3 foot (1m) intervals.
10. The exhaust vent system must remain at a minimum
distance of 6 inches (152mm) from all combustible
materials. Any part of the vent system that passes
through a combustible material must be properly
insulated.
NOTICE: Increasing the clearance distances may
be necessary if there is a possibility of distortion or
discoloration of adjacent materials.
For a VERTICAL vent pipe section that passes through
a fl oor or roof, an opening 4 inches (102mm) greater in
diameter is required. The opening must be insulated and
fl ashed in accordance with applicable installation codes.
A HORIZONTAL section of an exhaust vent system that
passes through a combustible wall must be constructed
and insulated as shown in Figure 11A.
11. The top of a VERTICALLY VENTED e xhaust system
must extend at least 3 f eet (1m) above the roof surface
that it passes through. The point of termination for
a HORIZONTALLY VENTED exhaust system must
be at least 12 inches (305mm) from the exterior of
the wall that it passes through. Refer to Table 5 and
Figures 10A and 11A for additional vent termination
clearance requirements.

OPERATION
Never operate the unit beyond the
specifi ed limits or severe damage to and or premature
failure of the unit will result!
EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS (see Figure 12)
1. Each Separated Combustion Unit Heater comes
equipped with a power vent system that consists of a
power venter motor and b lower, pressure switch and
sealed fl ue collector.
The addition of external draft hoods
or power venters is not permitted. Addition of such
devices may cause severe unit malfunction or failure!
2. The power venter motor is energized by the room
thermostat when a demand for heat is sensed. The
pressure switch measures the pressure differential
between the air inlet and exhaust vent systems. If
the differential is correct the indirect spark ignition
system is energized.
Under no conditions is the unit
to be fi red if the power venter is not operable or
severe personal injury or death may occur!
3. The indirect spark ignition system consists of an
ignition module, a dual combination valve, and a
spark-ignited pilot burner. When the pressure s witch is
closed, the pilot valve opens as a spark is generated
to light the pilot. When the flame is sensed by the
flame sensing circuit the spark ceases and the
main gas valve is opened to supply gas to the main
burners. Once the thermostat has been satisfied,
the vent system and gas valve are simultaneously
deenergized stopping all gas fl ow to the unit.
4. The limit switch interrupts the fl ow of electric current
to the main gas valve if the unit heater becomes
overheated.
5. The fan switch delays the operation of the fan for 60
to 90 seconds once the thermostat is closed and
continues fan operation for 60 to 90 seconds after
the thermostat opens.
INITIAL LIGHTING
1. Open the manual gas valve, in the gas supply line to
the unit heater. Loosen the union in the gas supply
line to purge it of air. Tighten the union and check for
leaks.
Check all pipe joints for leakage
using a soap solution or other approved method.
Never use an open fl ame or severe personal injury
or death may occur.
Before attempting to light or
relight pilot, wait 5 minutes to allow gas which
may have accumulated in the b urner compartment
to escape.
2. Turn on the electrical power. The unit heater should
now be under the control of the thermostat. Set the
thermostat to its highest setting, the power venter
motor should start and burner ignition occur. Allow
the unit heater to operate until the fan starts then
set the thermostat to its lowest setting. The burners
and power venter motor should stop operating
immediately while the fan continues to operate until
the fan time delay times out, shutting it off. Reset the
thermostat to the desired operational setting.
CHECKING UNIT HEATER RATE
Never overfi re the unit heater, as this
may cause unsatisfactory operation or shorten the
life of the heater.
Gas appliances are rated based on sea level operation
with no adjustment required at elevations up to 2000 f eet.
At elevations above 2000 feet, input ratings should be
reduced by 4 percent for each 1000 f eet abov e sea le vel.
Check the input rate as follows:
1. Turn off all other gas appliances that utilize the same
gas meter as the unit heater.
2. Let the unit heater run for 15 minutes.
3. Using the gas meter, clock the time that it takes to
burn 1 cubic foot of gas.
4. Insert the time, in seconds, into the formula below.
NOTICE: The start-up fan delay must not exceed 90
seconds from a cold start.
6. The wall ther mostat, supplied optionally, is a
temperature sensitive switch that operates the vent
and ignition systems to control the temperature of
the space being heated.
NOTICE: The thermostat must be mounted on a
vertical, vibration-free surface free from air currents
and in accordance with the furnished instructions.

PRIMARY AIR SHUTTER ADJUSTMENT
After the unit has been operating for at least 15 minutes,
adjust the primary air flow to the burners. Turn the
friction-locked, manually-rotated air shutters clockwise
to close, or counterclockwise to open (see Figures 12
and 14).
NOTICE: There may be momentary and spasmodic
orange flashes in the flame. This is caused by the
burning of airborne dust particles, and not to be
confused with the yellow tipping, which is a stable
or permanent situation when there is insufficient
primary air.
Figure 13 - Main Burner Flames
PILOT ADJUSTMENT
1. Remove the pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust the pilot screw to provide a properly sized
fl ame.
3. A proper pilot flame is a soft steady flame that
envelops 3/8 to 1/2-inch (9.5 to 12.7 mm) of the
thermocouple tip.
4. Replace the pilot adjustment cap.
MANIFOLD PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
If the manifold pressure requires minor adjustment,
remove the cap from the pressure regulator and turn the
adjustment screw clockwise to increase the pressure,
or counterclockwise to decrease the pressure. The
adjusted manifold pressure should not vary more than
10% from the pressures specifi ed in Table 6.
For correct air adjustment, close the air shutter until
yellow tips in the flame appear. Then open the air
shutter to the point just beyond the position where
yellow tipping disappears. Refer to Figure 13.
20
MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC SERVICE
NOTICE: The heater and vent system should be
checked once a year by a qualifi ed technician.
All Maintenance/Service information should be recorded
accordingly on the Inspection Sheet provided in this
manual.
Open all disconnect switches
and disconnect all electrical and gas supplies
and secure in that position before servicing unit.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death from electrical shock.
Gas tightness of the safety shutoff valves must be chec ked on at least an annual
basis.
To check gas tightness of the safety shut-off valves,
turn off the manual valve upstream of the appliance
combination control. Remove the 1/8 inch pipe plug on
the inlet side of the combination control and connect
a manometer to that tapping. Tur n the manual valve
on to apply pressure to the combination control. Note
the pressure reading on the manometer, then turn the
valve off. A loss of pressure indicates a leak. If a leak
is detected, use a soap solution to check all threaded
connections. If no leak is found, combination control is
faulty and must be replaced before putting appliance
back in service.
Should maintenance be required, perform the following
inspection and service routine:
1. Inspect the area near the unit to be sure that there is
no combustible material located within the minimum
clearance requirements listed in this manual.
Under no circumstances should
combustible material be located within the
clearances specified in this manual. Failure
to provide proper clearance could result in
personal injury or equipment damage from fi re.
3. To clean or replace the main burners, remove the
bottom panel and compress the spring by moving
the burner toward the manifold. Slide the opposite
end of the burner downward from the locating slot
while retaining spring is still compressed. Pull the
burners away from the heat.
4. With the burners removed, wire brush the inside
surfaces of the heat exchanger.
5. Remove any dirt, dust, or other foreign matter from
the burners using a wire brush and/or compressed
air. Ensure that all parts are unobstructed. Inspect
and clean pilot burner if necessary.
6. Reassemble the gas unit heater by replacing all
parts in reverse order.
7. Relight the pilot (see lighting instruction plate
on the unit). Complete the appropriate unit startup procedure as given in the “Operation” section of
this manual.
8. Check the burner adjustment. See the “Primary
Air Shutter Adjustment” section of this manual.
9. Check all gas control valves and pipe connections
for leaks.
10. Check the operation of the automatic gas valve
by lowering the setting of the thermostat, stopping
the operation of the gas unit heater. The gas valve
should close tightly, completely extinguishing the
fl ame on the main burners.
11. Inspect and service the motor/fan assemblies. To
maintain efficient air flow, inspect and clean the
fan blades and guard to prevent buildup of foreign
matter.
12. Check lubrication instructions on the motor. If oiling
is required, add 3 to 4 drops of electric motor oil as
follows:
(a.) Light Duty - After three years or 25,000 hours of
operation.
(b.) Average Duty - Annually after three years or
8,000 hours of operation.
(c.) Heavy Duty - Annually after one year or at least
every 1500 hours of operation.
Never over oil the motor or pre-
mature failure may occur!
2. Turn off the manual gas valve and electrical power
to the gas unit heater.
13. Check and test the operational functions of all safety
devices supplied with your unit.
