Indoor And Outdoor Shelter Installation; Combustion Air Supply - Jandy LG125 Installation And Operation Manual

Model LG Pool and Spa Heater
WARNING
United States
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent
assembly within 4 feet (1.22 m) horizontally and
4 feet (1.22 m) vertically of any opening into a
building.
Canada
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent
assembly within 10 feet (3.05 m) of any
opening into a building.
The top surface of the heater must be at least
three(3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts
located within ten(10) feet horizontally.
If the heater is installed under an overhang, there
must be a minimum clearance of 5 feet (1.5 m) above
the top of the heater and the structure should not
overhang the heater more than 12 inches (0.30 m). The
area under the overhang must be open on three sides.
This prevents combustion gases from being diverted
into living areas through doors, windows, or gravity
inlets.
If the heater is installed close to a structure,
protect it from rain water runoff with rain gutters on
the roof or other measures. Do not locate the heater
near irrigation sprinkler systems that could spray water
on it. Water from sprinklers may cause damage to
controls and electronic components.
Avoid locations where wind deflection off nearby
structures might cause downdraft conditions. Where
downdraft conditions exist, locate the heater at least 3
feet (0.91 m) from vertical surfaces (e.g., nearby
buildings and walls). The addition of a vent cap may be
necessary.
In Florida it is required that the heater be se-
curely fastened to the equipment pad. Use a size
1/4" x 1-1/2" long stainless steel Tapcon® type con-
crete screws and washers at each of the four tabs
located at the base of the heater. Mounting the
appliance in this manner meets the applicable require-
ments of the Florida Building Code.
Mounting screws are not provided with this
heater. After placing the heater on the equipment pad,
drill a hole in the concrete at each of the four tabs on
the feet of the heater. (The correct size drill bit is
usually provided with the concrete screws when
purchased). Place a screw in each of the holes and
fasten the heater to the equipment pad (see Figure 4).
Do not over torque the screws.

2.3.5. Indoor and Outdoor Shelter
Installations
An outdoor shelter (Canada only) is an unoccu-
pied enclosure which does not communicate directly
with occupied areas. All indoor installations and
outdoor shelter installations require the addition of a
factory approved drafthood. The drafthood must be
installed without modification and in accordance with
all local, state, provincial and national codes.
These codes, standards and Water Pik Technolo-
gies require that the heater be properly vented as
outlined in this manual. Proper ventilation of exhaust
and combustion air are essential for the safe and
