What NOT to Do
Don’t position the exhaust close to combustible material without
adequate protection.
Don’t mount the exhaust pipe inside the heater compartment.
Don’t use more than 8’ of exhaust pipe if 180° of total bends are
present, excluding the one bend at the outlet of the heater.
Don’t use any mufflers not supplied or approved by ITR.
Don’t use too much muffler cement or exhaust sealant that you

3.3 Procedure
Figure 3-1: Installing the Exhaust System shows a standard setup
for the down exhaust.
To install the exhaust system:
1
Leave suitable air spacing to protect combustible
materials; use an exhaust collar and metal shields where
required.
2
Find an appropriate location for the exhaust hole of the
heater. (See Figure 3-2)
3
Securely seal the exhaust piping to the Oasis

Chinook
Heating System fitting using an approved exhaust clamp.
4
Connect the exhaust piping in series with the muffler,
using heavy-duty exhaust clamps. If you use vibration
isolation mounts they must be high temperature.
5
Connect the flexible air-intake tubing (2” I.D.) to the air-
intake fitting on top of the heater. Use a #32 gear clamp
to attach the tubing to this fitting.
The other end of the air-intake hose can be installed in 2
configurations:
