Outdoor Installation / Heater Clearances; Indoor Venting- General Requirements - Waterco Turbotemp 125 Installation And User Manual

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 -20°F.
If the heater is located under a roof overhang, there must be at
least three 1 meter (3 feet) of clearance between the bottom of
the overhang and the top of the heater exhaust vent, see Figure
19. If the heater is under a roof overhang, the space around
the heater must be open on three sides. DO NOT, under any
circumstances, install the heater under ANY deck.
For minimum exhaust vent clearances for all building openings, including but not limited to
vented eaves, doors, windows, gravity air inlet, see Figure 20. Orient the heater for convenient
access to the water connections and the gas and electrical connections.
Note: Check local building codes for installing the heater from any property.
!
WARNING
Risk of fire and explosion. Do not spray aerosols in the vicinity of the heater while it is in
operation. Chemicals should not be stored near the heater installation. Combustion air can
be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and will void
the warranty.
!
CAUTION
If installing the heater next to or near an air conditioning unit or a heat pump, allow a
minimum of 91.4 cm (36 in.) between the air conditioning unit and the heater.

INDOOR INSTALLATION
(SEE INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR CORRECT PLACEMENT OF THIS LABEL)
If you are considering connecting this heater to a pre-existing vent system, ensure the vent
system meets the appropriate venting requirements as given in this manual on pages 15-21. If
not, replace the vent system. DO NOT use a draft hood with this heater. The Turbotemp heaters
are capable of a 270-degree discharge rotation and with a vent gas temperature less than 204°
C (400° F). The total length of the horizontal run must not exceed the length that is listed in
Table 7 on page 16.
HEATER CLEARANCES — General Requirements
INDOOR INSTALLATION AND OUTDOOR SHELTER
The following clearances must be maintained from the nearest walls: (See Figure 12 and Figure
12a)
TOP ............................ 15 cm (6 in)
EXHAUST SIDE ......... 15 cm (6 in.)
Note (*) For service access it is advisable to allow for suf cient clearance on at least one
door panel. The heater is designed for installation on combustible ooring. For installation on
carpeting, the heater must be mounted on a metal or wood panel that extends at least three
inches (10 cm) beyond the base of the heater. Note: Wall sensitive to heat (for example wood),
must be protected by a suitable insulation. If the heater is installed in a closet or alcove, the entire
oor shall be covered by the panel. On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges
into a vent pipe. Orient the heater so the vent pipe does not interfere with adjustment operating
controls. The control panel located on the top panel can be rotated to any of the three sides of
the heater for easy access. However, the control panel must not be located on the side where
the vent is located.
(*) For service access, it is advisable to allow for
15 cm
sufficient clearance on at least one door panel.
