A. Design and Installation Considerations

Heat & Glo direct vent gas appliances are designed to operate with all combustion air siphoned from outside of the building and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside. No additional outside air source is required.

CAUTION

Check building codes prior to installation.

Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and national codes and regulations.

Consult local building, fire officials or authorities having jurisdiction about restrictions, installation inspection, and permits.

When planning an appliance installation, it’s necessary to determine the following information before installing:

Where the appliance is to be installed.

The vent system configuration to be used.

Gas supply piping.

Electrical wiring.

Framing and finishing details.

Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan, wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

C. Inspect Appliance and Components
