Combustion and Ventilation Air

NOTE: Use of the heater in construction areas where fine particulate matter, such as concrete or dry-wall dust, is present may result in damage to the heater that is not covered by the warranty. If operated in a construction environment, a clean source of combustion air must be provided directly to the heater.

Indoor Units

The heater must be supplied with sufficient quantities of non-contaminated air to support proper combustion and equipment ventilation. Combustion air can be sup- plied via conventional means where combustion air is drawn from the area immediately surrounding the heater, or via direct vent, where combustion air is drawn directly from outside. All installations must com- ply with the requirements of the NFGC (U.S.) and B149 (Canada), and all local codes.

CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty. (See the Appendix.)

NOTE: It is recommended that the intake vent be insulated to minimize sweating.

Reversing Air Filter

Follow these instructions to change the air duct con- nection from the left-hand side (standard) to the right-hand side:

1.Remove the four screws and the dust cover from the right-hand side of the heater.

2.Remove the four screws and the air filter bracket from the left-hand side of the heater.

3.Reverse the components and reattach in the new location, making sure that the air filter locking bracket is on the bottom. (The air filter locking bracket is reversible.)

Direct-Ducted Combustion Air

In certain applications it may be desirable to duct the combustion air directly to the heater. This should be done with PVC, CPVC or single-wall galvanized duct- ing. The duct will attach directly to the collar on the air filter housing located on the side of the heater. The ducting is attached to the air filter housing collar using three or four sheet metal screws (not supplied) equal- ly distributed around the circumference of the duct. All ducting should be self-supported. The filter housing is not designed to support the air duct.

CAUTION: This type of installation is recommended if damaging airborne contaminants are or will be present in the heater area. See the Appendix regarding air contamination.
