Warranty

Refer to the limited warranty information on the warranty card in the owner’s envelope . Warranty is void if:

a .  Furnaces are used in atmospheres containing flammable vapors or atmospheres containing chlorinated or 

halogenated hydrocarbons or any contaminant (silicone, aluminum oxide, etc .) that adheres to the spark 

ignition flame sensing probe .

b .  Wiring is not in accordance with the diagram furnished with the heater .
c .  Unit is installed without proper clearance to combustible materials or without proper ventilation and air for 

combustion .

d .  Furnace air throughput is not adjusted within the range specified on the rating plate .

Installation Codes

•

These units must be installed in accordance with local building codes . In the absence of local codes, in the United 

States, the unit must be installed in accordance with NFPA/ANSI Z223 .1 (latest edition), 

National Fuel Gas Code

 . 

A Canadian installation must be in accordance with CSA B149 .1, 

Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code

 . This 

code is available from CSA Information Services, 1-800-463-6727 . Local authorities having jurisdiction should be 

consulted before installation is made to verify local codes and installation procedure requirements .

•

These gas-fired products are certified by ANSI Z83 family of standards governing the safe usage of heating 

equipment in the industrial/commercial marketplace . This includes using the heaters in makeup air applications to 

supply corridor pressurization in commercial buildings such as office structures and apartment complexes .

•

The heaters are not certified as residential heating equipment and should not be used as such .

• Clearances (model SSCBL):

 Clearances from the heater and vent to combustible construction or material in 

storage must conform with the 

National Fuel Gas Code

 ANSI Z223 .1 (latest edition) pertaining to gas-burning 

devices, and such material must not attain a temperature over 160°F (71°C) by continued operation of the heater .

• Separated-combustion (model SSCBL):

 The separated-combustion furnaces in model SSCBL are designed and 

manufactured in accordance with the ANSI definition of separated combustion, which reads, “Separated Combustion 

System Appliance: A system consisting of an appliance and a vent cap(s) supplied by the manufacturer, and (1) 

combustion air connections between the appliance and the outside atmosphere, and (2) flue gas connections between 

the appliance and vent cap, of a type(s) specified by the manufacturer but supplied by the installer, constructed 

so that, when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, air for combustion is obtained from the 

outside atmosphere and flue gases are discharged to the outside atmosphere .” Separated-combustion units are 

designed to separate air for combustion and flue products from the environment of the building in which the unit 

is installed . Separated-combustion appliances are recommended for use in dust-laden and some corrosive-fume 

environments . As the definition states, all separated-combustion, power-vented equipment must be equipped with 

both combustion-air and exhaust piping to the outdoors .

• Special installations in aircraft hangars and garages (model SSCBL):

 Installations in aircraft hangars should be 

in accordance with NFPA No . 409 (latest edition), 

Standard for Aircraft Hangars

; in public garages in accordance 

with NFPA No . 88A (latest edition), 

Standard for Parking Structures

; and for repair garages in accordance with 

NFPA No . 88B (latest edition), 

Standard for Repair Garages

 . In Canada, installations in aircraft hangars, repair 

garages, and parking garages should be in accordance with the requirements of the enforcing authorities and in 

accordance with the CSA B149 code .
