Clearances

The heater must be installed in a location that
allows clearances for maintenance and inspection.
Minimum distances from combustible surfaces must
also be maintained. All criteria given in the following
sections refl ect minimum clearances as stated in the
national standards. However, each installation must
also be evaluated, taking into account prevailing
local conditions such as wind speed and direction,
proximity and height of obstructions that may block
ventilation, and proximity to public access areas.
Service Clearance: 36 inches (92 cm) from top of
heater for removal of top panel.
Combustible
Surface
6 in (15 cm)
Service
Clearance
TOP: 36 in (92 cm)
FRONT: 18 in (46 cm) USA
required per CSA B149.1, section 4.14.2.
NOTE: Service clearance may be
needed from the rear if the top panel
is reversed.
NOTE: Clearances are manufacturer's
tested values. These are given as minimum
values. Where local and national codes
apply, and if the clearance values specified
in the applicable codes are different than

Equipment can weigh up to 156 lbs. (57 kg). Use
suitably rated mounting surface materials to avoid
risk of settlement, and never use sand to level the
equipment as the sand will wash away. Check local
building codes for additional requirements.
NOTE: If the heater is to be operated in below freezing
conditions it should be installed in a protected
outdoor shelter.
CAUTION
When pool equipment is located below the pool surface, a leak
from any component can cause large scale water loss or fl ooding.
Zodiac Pool Systems LLC cannot be responsible for such water loss or
fl ooding or resulting damage.
18 inches in the US and 24 inches (61 cm) in Canada
from the front panel of the heater. One exception
to this is if the top panel is reversed such that the
water plumbing is now on the left hand side of the
heater and the exhaust is on the right hand side. In
this case, you will need the service clearance (18"
US/24" Can) from the rear panel of the heater.
Combustible Surfaces: Each heater face requires a
6 inch (15 cm) clearance from combustible surfaces.
Although it is not advisable, the heater base can
be placed on a combustible surface for operation.
However, do not install the heater on carpet.
