E- COMBUSTION AIR
If the furnace is located in a room, confined in a restraint area, provide a one square foot opening in the
room for each gallon per hour of oil consumption.
Take note that an airtight house is liable to lack the fresh air needed for proper combustion, specially if
you are using appliances that evacuate air from the house, such as:
-
Range hood
-
Air exchanger
-
Clothes dryer
-
Bathroom fan
-
Central vacuum cleaning system
In that case, it is recommended to install a 4" fresh air inlet in the room or next to the room where the
heating appliance is located (see drawing below); choose a wall which is not exposed to dominant winds,
depending on the conditions surrounding your house.
N.B. The owner is responsible for the salubrity of the premises in case of negative pressure or
temporary negative pressure.
F- ELECTRIC COMPONENTS INSTALLATION
All the wires joining the electric components must have the proper length. (see figure #1). It is important
to keep all wires at a safe distance from hot surfaces.
G- ELECTRICAL WIRING
The whole wiring from the distribution panel to the heating unit shall comply with the applicable electrical
standards and local codes. The unit should be connected to its own 15 amp/120VAC electric circuit.
