Getting Started

A. Design and Installation Considerations
Heatilator direct vent gas appliances are designed to op-
erate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the
building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No
additional outside air source is required.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping requirements.
• Provisions for optional heat management system.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.
Installation and service of this appliance should be performed by
qualified personnel. Hearth & Home Technologies recommends
HHT Factory Trained or NFI certified professionals.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause injury or property damage. For
assistance or additional information, consult a qualified
service technician, service agency or your dealer.
