Hi-E2
Figure 1. Outdoor heater location.
If the heater is installed close to a structure,
protect it from rain water runoff by means of gutters,
roof water diverters or similar measures. Do not
locate the heater close to irrigation sprinklers. Water
from sprinklers may damage controls and electronic
components.
Because the Hi-E
2
system exhaust gases are moist. Do not locate
the heater such that this exhaust will impinge on
structures or vegetation which may be damaged by
combustion condensate.
WARNING
In United States
Do not install the heater with the vent within 4 feet
(1.22 m) of any opening into a building.
In Canada
Do not install the heater with the vent within 10 feet
(3.05 m) of any opening into a building.
In Florida it is required that the heater be
se cure ly fastened to the equipment pad. Use a size
1/4" x 1-1/2" long stainless steel Tapcon® type
con crete screws and washers at each of the four
tabs located at the base of the heater. Mount ing
the ap pli ance 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 in each of the holes and
fasten the heater to the equipment pad (see Figure 2).
Do not over torque the screws.
2F. Outdoor Shelter Installation (Canada)
An outdoor shelter is an unoccupied enclosure
which does not communicate directly with occupied
areas. The Hi-E
may be installed in such a shelter

only when the installation is in accordance with local
codes and the most recent edition of the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CSA B-149.1).
These codes and standards and Jandy require that the
heater be properly vented as outlined in this manual.
Other requirements also apply, such as provision
of ample uncontaminated air for combustion and
ventilation.
2G. Indoor Installation
The Hi-E
can be located indoors when

provided with "one-pipe" or "two-pipe" systems for
combustion air and combustion product venting. A
one-pipe installation has only a vent pipe, and air for
combustion must be provided to the room the heater
is located in. A two-pipe system (sometimes referred
to as "direct vent" or "sealed combustion") has a vent
pipe plus a pipe bringing air directly to the heater's
combustion system.
Section 2G-2 specifi es requirements for
provision of combustion and ventilation air for one-
pipe installations. Section 2G-3 covers two-pipe
installation.
An important consideration in selecting one or
two pipe installation is the quality of the combustion
air. Indoor air is sometimes contaminated with
various household or pool sanitation chemicals
which can cause corrosion in the heater combustion
system. Unless the indoor air is known to be free
of these materials, two pipe installation is strongly
recommended.
2G-1. Preparation of Heater For Indoor
Installation
If the Hi-E
is to be installed indoors, its exhaust
2
discharge grille must be converted to an exhaust pipe
confi guration. The necessary vent collar, gasket and
screws are shipped packaged within the heater. The
conversion can be done quite simply as follows (see
Figures 3 and 4):
