OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
This heater is certified for outdoor installation. If the
heater is installed in very cold areas proper precautions
are needed for freeze protection. The heater must be
placed in a suitable area on a level, noncombustible
surface. Do not install heater under an overhang with
clearances less than 3 feet from top of the heater. The
area under an overhang must be open on three sides.
NOTE
Water drainage must be diverted from heater
installed below overhangs with use of gutters. To
assure proper rain drainage in outdoor installation,
heater must be set on a level foundation.
The heater should not be installed closer than 6 inches
to any fences, walls or shrubs at any side or back, nor
closer than 18 inches at the plumbing side. A minimum
clearance of 24 inches must be maintained at front of
heater; see Figure 4.
IMPORTANT!
When locating the heater, consider that high
winds can roll over or deflect off adjacent
buildings and walls. Normally, placing the
heater at least three feet from any wall will
minimize downdraft.
Unusually high prevailing wind conditions and
downdrafts may require the use of a stack type
outdoor vent kit (available at additional cost).
NOTE
This unit shall not be operated outdoors at
temperatures below 18
o
C for propane and -29
o
C
for natural gas.
NOTE
Overhangs must be such that flue products are
not diverted into living spaces. Heaters installed
under overhangs must be protected from direct
roof water drainage by gutters and the like. From
the point where the flue products leave the heater,
that point MUST be a minimum of four (4) feet
below, four (4) horizontally from or one (1) foot
above any door, window or gravity inlet into the
building; see Figure 5.
