also be used in all residential applications.

An outside air inlet MU ST be provided for combustion

and ventilation air. The air inlet must remain unrestricted while unit is in use. Outside air connection is located in the rear of the heater (Figure 2). Use conduit pipe or metal flex pipe and/or fittings to mak e the air intake hook-up.

CAUTION: STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MO BILE HOME FLOOR, WALLS AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
