WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combus-
tion. An unvented room heater produces ap-
proximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water
for every 1,000 BTUs (0.3 KWs) of gas input
per hour. Unvented room heaters are recom-
mended as supplemental heat (a room) rather
than a primary heat source (an entire house).
In most supplemental heat applications, the
water vapor does not create a problem. In
most applications, the water vapor enhances
the low humidity atmosphere experienced
during cold weather.
The following steps will help ensure that water
vapor does not become a problem.
1. Be sure the heater is sized properly for the
application, including ample combustion
air and circulation air.
2. If high humidity is experienced, a dehu-
midier may be used to help lower the
water vapor content of the air.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as
the primary heat source.
UNPACKING
1. Remove burner base assembly from
carton.
Note: Do not pick up burner base as-
sembly by burners as this could damage
heater. Always handle base assembly by
grate.
2. Remove all protective packaging applied
to heater for shipment.
3. Check all items for any shipping damage.
If damaged, promptly inform dealer where
you purchased the heater.
LOCAL CODES
Install and use heater with care. Follow all
local codes. In the absence of local codes,
use the latest edition of The National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54*.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a conned space
or unusually tight construction
unless provisions are provided
for adequate combustion and
ventilation air. Read the following
instructions to insure proper fresh
air for this and other fuel-burning
appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy e󰀩cient
than ever. New materials, increased insulation
and new construction methods help reduce
heat loss in homes. Home owners weather
strip and caulk around windows and doors
to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.
During heating months, home owners want
their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy
e󰀩cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh
air must enter your home. All fuel-burning ap-
pliances need fresh air for proper combustion
and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, replaces, clothes dryers and
fuel burning appliances draw air from the house
to operate. You must provide adequate fresh
air for these appliances. This will insure proper
venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a room or
space unless the required vol-
ume of indoor combustion air
is provided by the method de-
scribed in the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
International Fuel Gas Code, or
applicable local codes.
WARNING: If the area in which
the heater may be operated is
smaller than that dened as
an unconned space or if the
building is of unusually tight
construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air
by one of the methods described
in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the In-
ternational Fuel Gas Code, or
applicable local codes.

adjoining unconned space, you must provide
two permanent openings: one within 12" of the
ceiling and one within 12" of the oor on the
wall connecting the two spaces (see options
1 and 2, Figure 2). You can also remove door
into adjoining room (see option 3, Figure 2).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or ducts. You must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling
and one within 12" of the oor. Connect these
items directly to the outdoors or spaces open
to the outdoors. These spaces include attics
and crawl spaces. Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size
of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings
for inlet or outlet air into attic if attic has a
thermostat-controlled power vent. Heated air
entering the attic will activate the power vent.
Rework worksheet, adding the space of the
adjoining unconned space. The combined
spaces must have enough fresh air to supply
all appliances in both spaces.

WARNING: Before installing
in a solid fuel burning replace,
the chimney ue and rebox
must be cleaned of soot, creo-
sote, ashes and loose paint by
a qualified chimney cleaner.
Creosote will ignite if highly
heated. A dirty chimney ue may
create and distribute soot within
the house. Inspect chimney ue
and rebox for damage. If dam-
aged, repair ue before operat-
ing heater.
WARNING: Seal any fresh
air vents or ash clean-out doors
located on oor or wall of re-
place. If not, drafting may cause
pilot outage or sooting. Use a
heat-resistant sealant. Do not
seal chimney ue damper.

prohibited.
CAUTION: The supplied cap
must be installed into the unused
inlet of regulator to avoid the
possibilaty of gas leakage. Do
not use an "o󰀨 the shelf" pipe
plug.
You will notice a color coded
plunger on the inside of the
regulator. This is normal. When
the inlet connection tting is
inserted and tightened, this
plunger will be pushed back
by the tting making all of the
adjustments for the gas being
supplied. DO NOT REMOVE THE
PLUNGER. The appliance will
not work and the warranty will
be voided.
The inlet regulator is color coded
for identication of the correct
gas type. Blue is for propane gas
and yellow is for natural gas.
FOR PROPANE GAS
INSTALLATION: BLUE
Apply thread sealant to the threads on the
connection tting. While pushing in, rotate
the tting clockwise until the threads engage
the regulator. After the tting has been hand
tightened into the regulator use a wrench to
complete tightening of the tting. Install ad-
ditional tting to connect to the house supply.

DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE
PLUNGERS FROM INSIDE THE
REGULATOR. THE PLUNGER
WILL BE PUSHED BACK AS
THE FITTING IS INSTALLED.
REMOVING THE PLUNGERS
WILL MAKE THE APPLIANCE
UNUSABLE AND WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY.
Make sure the type of gas being
used is correct. Check to make
sure the connection tting is in
the correct inlet on the regula-
tor. Refer to Connecting to Gas
Supply, page 15.
If you are using natural gas
and the pilot will not light, see
Troubleshooting, page 26.
Use only the cap supplied on the
regulator. Do not use an o󰀨 the
shelf pipe plug. This can damage
the plunger. The supplied regula-
tor cap is designed so it will not
engage the unused gas type.
3. Apply thread sealant to the threads on
the connection tting. While pushing in,
rotate the tting clockwise until the threads
engage the regulator. After the tting has

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
CAUTION: For natural gas,
check your gas line pressure
before connecting heater to gas
line. Gas line pressure must be
no greater than 9.5" WC. If gas
line pressure is higher, heater
regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to
regulator. Hold gas regulator
with wrench when connecting
into gas piping and/or ttings.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint
sealant that is resistant to gas
(Propane or Natural Gas).
Before installing heater, make sure you have
the items listed below:
• external regulator for propane unit only
(supplied by installer)
• piping (check local codes)
• sealant (resistant to natural gas and pro-
pane gas)
• equipment shuto󰀨 valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• exible gas hose (check local codes)
• 3/8" NPT brass tting
* A CSA design-certied equipment shuto󰀨
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certied equipment
shuto󰀨 valve from your dealer.
WARNING: A qualied ser-
vice technician must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance re-
quires a 3/8" NPT (National Pipe
Thread) brass inlet connection
to the pressure regulator.
WARNING: For natural gas,
Never connect heater to private
(non-utility) gas wells. This gas
is commonly known as wellhead
gas.
CAUTION: For propane gas,
never connect heater directly
to the gas supply. This heater
requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the external
regulator between the heater and
propane supply. Gas supplier
provides external regulator for
natural gas. The installer pro-
vides the external regulator for
propane gas.
WARNING: Do not over-
tighten gas connections.
CAUTION: Use only new,
black iron or steel pipe. Inter-
nally tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check
your local codes. Use pipe of
1/2" diameter or greater to allow
proper gas volume to heater. If
pipe is too small, undue loss of
pressure will occur.

Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 3/8" black iron pipe or greater. Installa-
tion must include an equipment shuto󰀨 valve,
union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap. Locate
NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up.
NPT tap must be upstream from heater (see
Figure 13).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shuto
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment shuto valve is for turning on or shutting
o the gas to the appliance.
For propane installations, apply pipe joint seal-
ant lightly to male threads. This will prevent
excess sealant from going into pipe. Excess
sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater
valves.
The installer must supply an external regula-
tor. The external regulator will reduce incom-
ing gas pressure. You must reduce incoming
gas pressure to between 11" WC and 14" WC.
If you do not reduce incoming gas pressure,
heater regulator damage could occur. Install
external regulator with the vent pointing down
as shown in Figure 14. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

where trapped matter is not likely to freeze.
A sediment trap traps moisture and contami-
nants. This keeps them from going into heater
controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed wrong, heater may not run properly.
