1 Determine unit location

Location of unit

This unit meets the safe lighting performance criteria with the gas manifold and control assembly provided, as specified in the ANSI standards for gas-fired units and ANSI Z21.10.3/ CSA 4.3 - latest edition.

1.	Maintain all clearances from combustible construction
	when locating appliance. See Clearances from Combustible
	Construction, this page.
2.	Locate the appliance so that if water connections should
	leak, water damage will not occur. When such locations
	cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable
	drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the unit.
	The pan must not restrict combustion airflow. Under no
	circumstances is the manufacturer to be held responsible
	for water damage in connection with this unit, or any of its
	components.
3.	The appliance must be installed so that the ignition
	system components are protected from water (dripping,
	spraying, rain, etc.,) during appliance operation and service
	(circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.,).
4.	Appliances located in a residential garage and in adjacent

spaces that open to the garage and are not part of the living

space of a dwelling unit must be installed so that all burners

and burner ignition devices have a minimum clearance of

not less than 18" (46 cm) above the floor. The appliance

must be located or protected so that it is not subject to

physical damage by a moving vehicle.

5. DO NOT install this appliance in any location where

gasoline or flammable vapors are likely to be present.

6. The appliance must be installed on a level floor.

7. Combustible floor installation:

a. Models 502 - 752 require an approved floor kit for

	Construction Section, this page.
10.	For outdoor models, you must install an optional vent
	cap. Instructions for mounting the vent cap are included
	in the venting section of this manual. Do not install
	outdoor models directly on the ground. You must install
	the outdoor unit on a concrete, brick, block, or other
	non-combustible pad. Outdoor models have additional
	special location and clearance requirements. See Outdoor
	Installation Venting, page 30. A wind proof cabinet

protects the unit from weather.

Indoor clearances from combustible construction

Maintain minimum specified clearances for adequate operation. Allow sufficient space for servicing pipe connections, pump and other auxiliary equipment, as well as the unit. See rating plate for specific service clearance requirements.

Freeze protection

Although these units are CSA International design-certified for outdoor installations, such installations are not recommended in areas where the danger of freezing exists. You must provide proper freeze protection for outdoor installations, units installed in unheated mechanical rooms or where temperatures may drop to the freezing point or lower. If freeze protection is not provided for the system, a low ambient temperature alarm is recommended for the mechanical room. Damage to the unit by freezing is non-warrantable.
