Heater Clearances - Waterco Turbotemp 200HD Installation And Operation Manual

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION (Australia)
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area
and on a level surface that is protected from
drainage or run-off. Install the heater in an area
where leaves or other debris will not collect on
or around the heater.
It is recommended that a non-combustible base
be a platform under the heater constructed
of hollow masonry blocks, not less than 100
millimeters (mm) thick (laid with ends unsealed
and joints matched for air circulation). Cover
blocks with 0.75 mm (min.) galvanized sheet
metal, see Figure 8.
To avoid damage to the electronic components
in the heater, take care to prevent prolonged
exposure to driving sources of water (such as
lawn sprinklers, heavy roof runoff, hoses, etc.).
Avoid operation in persistent, extreme, moist or
salty environments.
In extreme weather, shut down the heater and
disconnect the power to it until the weather
has moderated. In areas subject to hurricanes
or very high winds, purchase the Bolt Down
Bracket Kit, P/N 460738, see Figure 9.
HEATER CLEARANCES – OUTDOOR
IMPORTANT!
• In an outdoor installation it is important to ensure water
is diverted from overhanging eves with a proper gutter/
drainage system. The heater must be set on a level
foundation for proper drainage.
• This unit shall not be operated outdoors at temperatures
below -7˚C.
If the heater is located under a roof or deck overhang, there
must be at least 1 meter (3 ft.) of clearance between the bottom
of the overhang and the top of the heater exhaust vent, see
Figure 10. If the heater is under a roof or deck overhang, the
space around the heater must be open on three sides.
For minimum exhaust vent clearances for building openings,
see below Figure 11.
Orient the heater for convenient access to the water connections
and the gas and electrical connections.
Check local building codes for setback (property line)
requirements.
