Section 3, Installing the Exhaust System

! DANGER

•Use an ITR-manufactured muffler with a straight-through design. No other muffler is acceptable.

•Exhaust outlet is on the top or bottom (model dependant) of the Oasis™ Heating Module, towards the back.

The exhaust and outlet are HOT and the surrounding areas must be thermally shielded and protected from the hot surfaces and heat build-up by insulation. Nothing can come into inadvertent contact with any part of the exhaust system.

•Exhaust must have a minimum of 3” (7.6 cm) clearance from all surfaces.

•Ensure that the exhaust cannot be plugged or restricted.

•The exhaust fitting on the Oasis™ Heating Module is 2.0” O.D. and the exhaust pipe used must have a minimum of 2.0” I.D. throughout its length.

•All exhaust elbows must be of a large radius design.

•The exhaust must be supported a minimum of every 3’ of its installed length.

•The exhaust and Oasis™ Heating Module connection point must use appropriate clamps and sealing compound to ensure that the connections are tight and leak free. The Oasis™ Heating Module exhaust outlet pipe and the exhaust pipe itself must not be distorted or damaged during this process.

•When the Oasis™ Heating Module is running the connection points and the system must be checked for leaks and any found must be corrected. Periodically, check the exhaust fittings, connections, exhaust tube, and insulation for leaks and integrity and correct if required.

•Appropriate exhaust insulation must be used to cover the entire length of any interior exhaust run.

•Solid stainless steel exhaust tubing or approved exhaust tubing is recommended but an approved stainless steel flexible exhaust tubing can also be used. If flexible exhaust tubing is used, the exhaust tubing must be inspected regularly for leaks and deterioration as this type of exhaust does not have the life expectancy of solid tubing. Stepped
