Clamps

 

Exhaust pipe

Both the exhaust line and air intake hose are

 

 

 

supported by clamps which are attached to the wall.

 

 

 

A wall fixture can be used to offset the clamp from the

 

 

 

wall. Use Screw B to attach the wall fixture to the

 

 

 

wall. If the wall fixture is not used then use Screw A

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the nut to attach the clamp to the wall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The air intake hose should always be underneath the

 

 

 

exhaust line so that in case the air intake hose sags it

 

 

 

will not come into contact with the exhaust line.

Installing the Exhaust Line

The exhaust line is connected between the bent pipe at the rear of the heater and the exhaust port on the flue manifold.

To connect exhaust pipes with other straight pipes or bends, fit the male end into the female end. Use pipe stopper A to clamp the connection.

Use pipe stopper B to fix the length on the adjustable exhaust pipes. Do not extend these pipes beyond the red line.

Do not cut the exhaust pipe. Use the adjustable pipes if necessary.

To bend the elbow, insert exhaust pipes into both ends for additional leverage. Bend to desired angle.

Do not straighten the bent pipe attached to the appliance.

Connecting the Air Intake Hose

The air intake hose is connected between the air connection at the rear of the heater and the air intake port on the flue manifold.

Push the air intake hose onto the flue manifold and secure with the plastic cable tie.

Join air intake hoses by screwing the hose joint half of its length into the air intake hose and then screwing another air intake hose into the hose joint.
