INSTALLATION

Jobsite Survey
Complete the following checks before installation.
1. Consult local building codes and the NEC (National Elec-
trical Code) ANSI/NFPA 70 for special installation
requirements.
2. Determine unit location (from project plans) or select unit
location.
3. Check for possible overhead obstructions which may
interfere with unit lifting or rigging.
Step 1 — Plan for Unit Location
Select a location for the unit and its support system (curb or
other) that provides for the minimum clearances required for
safety. This includes the clearance to combustible surfaces,
unit performance and service access below and around unit as
specified in Fig. 3.
NOTE: Consider also the effect of adjacent units.
Be sure that unit is installed such that snow will not block the
combustion intake or flue outlet.

Unit disconnect is mounted on panel
No disconnect, convenience outlet option
Recommended service clearance
Minimum clearance
Surface behind servicer is grounded (e.g., metal, masonry wall)
Surface behind servicer is electrically non-conductive (e.g., wood, fiberglass)
Check sources of flue products within 10 ft of unit fresh air intake hood
Side condensate drain is used
Minimum clearance
Surface behind servicer is grounded (e.g., metal, masonry wall, another unit)
Surface behind servicer is electrically non-conductive (e.g., wood, fiberglass)
Unit may be installed directly on wood flooring or on Class A,
B, or C roof-covering material when roof curb is used.
Do not install unit in an indoor location. Do not locate air inlets
near exhaust vents or other sources of contaminated air. For
proper unit operation, adequate combustion and ventilation air
must be provided in accordance with Section 5.3 (Air for Com-
bustion and Ventilation) of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 (American National Standards Institute) and NFPA
(National Fire Protection Association) 54 TIA-54-84-1. In
Canada, installation must be in accordance with the CAN1-
B149 installation codes for gas burning appliances.
Although unit is weatherproof, avoid locations that permit wa-
ter from higher level runoff and overhangs to fall onto the unit.
Locate mechanical draft system flue assembly at least 4 ft
(1.2 m) from any opening through which combustion products
could enter the building, and at least 4 ft (1.2 m) from any adja-
cent building (or per local code). Locate the flue assembly at
least 10 ft (3.05 m) from an adjacent unit's fresh air intake
hood if within 3 ft (0.91 m) of same elevation (or per local
code). When unit is located adjacent to public walkways, flue
assembly must be at least 7 ft (2.1 m) above grade.
