POWER VENTING

Heaters may be connected to systems requiring mechanical draft exhaust fans. The installation must be engineered by competent personnel in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z 223.1, local codes and with the supplier of the fan.

Particular attention must be given to the type of vent pipe used, its size and location. Suitable interlocks must be provided to prevent heater operation until the fan is operating as designed.

OUTDOORWATERHEATERS

The point from where the flue products exit the heater must be a minimum of four (4) feet below, four (4) feet horizontally from or one (1) foot above any door, window or gravity inlet to a building. The top surface of the heater shall be at least three (3) feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts located within ten (10) feet horizontally.
