Caution and General Safety CAUTION: FIRE OR BURN INJURY HAZARD At all times maintain clearance to combustible materials as further specified in this manual. Failure to do so can result in serious fire hazard. Never operate heaters in atmosphere containing flammable vapours or combustible dusts. This heater is equipped with an electronic and automatic ignition device.
General Installation Codes Installations must comply with local building codes, or in their absence, the latest edition of the national regulations and procedures as listed below. General Installation and Gas Codes Heaters must be installed only for use with the type of gas appearing on the rating plate, and the installation must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the US and CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2 Installation Codes in Canada.
Installation Requirements Clearance to Combustibles A general clearance of 18” (0.5 m) in every direction is recommended for servicing only around each Burner, also to ensure adequate air flow in and around the Heating System. In addition to this it is very important to observe the minimum clearance to combustibles at all times to avoid any possibility of property damage or personal injury.

Installation Requirements Heater Mounting RECOMMENDED hanging equipment needed to install the heater. In all cases, check with local codes for seismic bracing requirements for outdoor heating equipment.

Installation Instructions Installation Sequence: Generally, there is no unique sequence for installation of the burner or heat exchanger. A review of the job site will usually indicate a logical installation order. However, time and expense can be saved if installation is begun at the most critical dimension, watching for interference from overhead beams etc.
