In the U.S., units may be installed on combustible floors
made from wood or class A, B, or C roof covering material.
In Canada, units may be installed on combustible floors.
Service Access
Access to all serviceable components is provided by four
removable panels: filter compartment, blower compart-
ment, furnace compartment, and top panel.
Combustion Products Discharge
The unit must be positioned such that combustion prod-
ucts discharged at the vent outlet will not result in building
degradation and must be consistent with the National Fuel
Gas Code, Z223.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.1 & .2.
The products of combustion are discharged through a
screened opening in the front mullion. The horizontal vent
system shall terminate at least 4' below, 4' horizontally
from, or 1' above any door, window, or gravity air inlet into
the building. The vent system shall terminate at least 3'
above any forced air inlet located within 10'.
The unit shall be installed in a manner such that snow
accumulation will not restrict the flow of flue products.
Minimum horizontal clearance of 4' from electric meters,
gas meters, regulator, and relief equipment is required.
In addition to the above requirements, consideration must
be given to prevent unwanted ice buildup from the vent
condensate. The vent should not be located on the side of
a building where the prevailing winter winds could trap the
moisture, causing it to freeze on the walls or on overhangs
