Model LJ Pool and Spa Heater

2.3.4 Outdoor Installation

Lite2 heaters can be installed in the low-profile
configuration as received from the factory, or with an
optional factory approved vent cap for high wind
applications.
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area.
Do not install the heater under a deck.
Do not locate the heater below or adjacent to any
doors, glass openings, louvers, grills, etc., which
connect in any way with an inhabited area of a
building, even though the access might be through
another structure (e.g., a garage or utility room). In the
United States there must be a minimum of four (4)
feet (1.22 m) horizontally or four (4) feet (1.22 m)
vertically between the heater exhaust point and any
door, glass opening, or gravity inlet to a building. In
Canada, the heater must be installed so that the
exhaust point of the heater is at least ten (10) feet (3.0
m) from any building opening (see Figure 3).
WARNING
United States
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent
assembly within 4 feet (1.22 m) horizontally and
4 feet (1.22 m) vertically of any opening into a
building.
Canada
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent
assembly within 10 feet (3.05 m) of any
opening into a building.
AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque vous installez l'appareil de chauffage,
assurez-vous que l'ouverture d'aération se
trouve à un minimum de 10 pieds (3,05 m) de
toute ouverture d'un bâtiment.
The top surface of the heater must be at least
three (3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake
ducts located within ten (10) feet horizontally.
If the heater is installed under an overhang, there
must be a minimum clearance of 5 feet (1.5 m) above
the top of the heater and the structure should not
overhang the heater more than 12 inches (0.30 m). The
area under the overhang must be open on three sides.
This prevents combustion gases from being diverted
into living areas through doors, windows, or gravity
inlets.
Ne pas installer ce chauffe-piscine sous une
saillie mesurant moins de 3 pi de hauteur. La partie
sous la saillie doit être ouverte sur 3 côtés.
If the heater is installed close to a structure,
protect it from rain water runoff with rain gutters on
the roof or other measures. Do not locate the heater
near irrigation sprinkler systems that could spray water
Figure 3. Outdoor Heater Installation
on it. Water from sprinklers may cause damage to
controls and electronic components.
Avoid locations where wind deflection off nearby
structures might cause downdraft conditions. Where
downdraft conditions exist, locate the heater at least 3
feet (0.91 m) from vertical surfaces (e.g., nearby
buildings and walls). The addition of a vent cap may be
necessary.
In Florida it is required that the heater be se-
curely fastened to the equipment pad. Use a size 1/4"
x 1-1/2" long stainless steel Tapcon
screw and washer at each of the four tabs located at
the base of the heater. Mounting the applicance in this
manner meets the applicable requirements of the
Florida Building Code.
Mounting screws are not provided with this
heater. After placing the heater on the equipment pad,
drill a hole in the concrete at each of the four tabs on
the feet of the heater. (The correct size drill bit is
usually provided with the concrete screws when
purchased.) Place a screw and washer in each of the
holes and fasten the heater to the equipment pad (see
Figure 4). Do not over torque the screws.
