For indoor installation, the heater requires air supply
openings for ventilation and combustion. The mini-
mum requirements are for two (2) openings: one 12
inches from the ceiling for ventilation air and one 12
inches from the floor for combustion air, in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1., and any local codes that may apply.
Likely Contaminants
Pool or spa cleaning
chemicals. Acids, such as
hydrochloric or muriatic acid
Glues and cements,

Indoor Vent Installation
Always vent the heater to the outdoors.
• Vent it horizontally or vertically using Special Gas
Vent, (see Table 2-G, Page 2-10), or
• Vent it vertically using Type "B" double wall vent
connector pipe.
Locate the heater so as to minimize the length of hori-
zontal vent pipe and the number of vent elbows
required. Horizontal vent runs must slope up 1/4"per
foot from the heater to allow exhaust condensate to
drain and must have a condensate drain as described in
the venting installation instructions.

The heater is supplied from the factory with a built-in
stackless outdoor vent for outdoor installation. Remove
the outdoor Vent Cover for enclosed installation. To
reinstall the outdoor Vent Cover, hold it in place against
the Vent Body,push together, and fasten with two
screws.
