STA-RITE 200K BTU/HR Owner's Manual page 11

On an indoor installation, the exhaust discharges into a
vent pipe. Orient the heater so that the vent pipe does not
interfere with adjustment of the operating controls. The
operating control panel located on top of the jacket can be
rotated for convenient access to the control panel.

COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR SUPPLY
For indoor installation, the heater requires air supply open-
ings for ventilation and combustion. The minimum require-
ments are for two (2) openings: one 12 inches from the
ceiling for ventilation air and one 12 inches from the floor
for combustion air, in accordance with the latest edition of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1., and any local
codes that may apply.
The minimum net free area in square inches shall be
as follows:

INDOOR VENT INSTALLATION
Always vent the heater to the outdoors.
• Vent it horizontally or vertically using a Special Gas
Vent, (see Table 5, Page 14), or
• Vertically using Type "B" double wall vent connector
pipe.
Locate the heater so as to minimize the length of horizon-
tal venting and the number of vent elbows required.
Horizontal vent runs must slope up 1/4" per foot from the
heater to allow exhaust condensate to drain and must have
a condensate drain as described in the venting installation
instructions.
OUTSIDE VENT COVER REMOVAL
The heater is supplied from the factory with a built-in
stackless outside vent for outdoor installation. Remove the
outside vent cover for indoor installation.
