Combustion air contaminated by corrosive
chemical fumes can damage the heater and will void
the warranty.
Combustion and Ventilation
Air Supply
For indoor installation, the heater requires air supply
openings for ventilation and combustion. The mini-
mum requirements are for two (2) openings: one 12
inches from the ceiling for ventilation air and one 12
inches from the floor for combustion air, in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1., and any local codes that may apply.
The minimum net free area in square inches shall be
as follows:
Table 2-D: Combustion and Ventilation
Air Requirements
Indoor Vent Installation
Always vent the heater to the outdoors.
• Vent it horizontally or vertically using Special Gas
Vent, (see Table 2-G, Page 2-10), or
• Vent it vertically using Type “B” double wall vent
connector pipe.
Locate the heater so as to minimize the length of hori-
zontal vent pipe and the number of vent elbows
required. Horizontal vent runs must slope up 1/4"per
foot from the heater to allow exhaust condensate to
drain and must have a condensate drain as described in
the venting installation instructions.
