See page 16 for Vent Adaptors

All products of combustion and vent gases must be completely removed to the outside atmosphere through a vent pipe which is connected to the stack adaptor. A vent pipe extension of the same size must be connected to the vent adaptor and extended at least 2 feet higher than highest point of the roof within a 10 foot horizontal radius, and at least 3 ft. higher than the point at which it passes through the roof, or as permitted by local code; see Figures 6, 7 and 12. The vent should terminate with an approved vent cap (weather cap) for protection against rain or blockage by snow. Insulated vent pipe and an approved roof jack shall be employed through the roof penetration.

The heater must be placed in a suitable room with adequate ventilation and on a leveled floor, where leakage from heat exchanger or water connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the heater or the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan with adequate drainage, be installed under the heater. The pan must not restrict air flow.

It is recommended to install the heater on fire-resistance slabs. Do not install the heater directly on a combustible wood floor without placing a non-combustible material between the floor and the heater. Heaters must NEVER
