When angle mounting, the short axis may be rotated to a maximum of 30°. Refer to FIGURE 3. Improper angle mounting can result in damage to the heater and unsafe or uncertain operation, and will void warranty. IMPORTANT: For either horizontal or angle mounting, the long axis of the heater must be level.
[3.5 KpA]. 2.5 GAS PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS The sportSchwank Series heater is to utilize natural gas only. The maximum supply pressure must be limited to 14" w.c. (0.5 psi) [35 mb]. If the sup- ply line pressure is above 14" w.c. [35 mb], then a separate pressure reducing regula- tor must be installed.
3. The sportSchwank Series heater is approved for both horizontal and angle mount- ing. When angle mounting, the short axis may be rotated to a maximum of 30°. For either horizontal or angle mounting on the short axis, the long axis of the heater must be in a horizontal position.
