conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 — latest edition
and CSA B-149.1 (EXCEPTION: Do not derate this appliance for
altitude. Maintain the manifold pressure at 3.5" w.c. for Natural Gas
and 10" w.c. for LP gas at maximum input.) Refer to page 8 (RF only).
This appliance is only for use with the type of gas indicated on the
rating plate. This appliance is not convertible for use with other
gases unless a certified kit is used.
Installation and replacement of gas piping, gas utilization
equipment or accessories, and repair and servicing of equipment
shall be performed only by a qualified agency, preferably NFI
or WETT (Canada) certified. The term "qualified agency"
means any individual, firm, corporation, or company that

of the authority having jurisdiction.
The Intrepid Direct Vent Room Heater should be inspected before
use and at least annually by a qualified service agency. It is
imperative that control compartments, burners, and circulating
air passageways of the appliance be kept clean.
The Intrepid Direct Vent Room Heater and the individual shut-off
valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2
psig (3.5 kPa).
The Intrepid Direct Vent Room Heater must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing the individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig.
An accessible tap is located above the pilot/on-off knob for checking
the inlet pressure.
'Direct Vent' describes a sealed combustion system in which
incoming outside air for combustion and outgoing exhaust enter
and exit through two separate concentric passages within the same
sealed vent system. The system does not use room air to support
combustion. The Direct Vent system permits the gas appliance to
be vented directly to the outside atmosphere through the side of
the house or vertically through the roof.
This appliance is approved for bedroom installations in the U.S.
and Canada.
This appliance may be installed in an aftermarket* manufactured
(mobile) home, where not prohibited by state or local codes.

electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
70, (latest edition), or of the current Canadian Electrical Code C22.1.
