WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vapor is a by-product of gas combustion. An unvented room heater produces
approximately one (1) ounce (30 mL) of water for every 1,000 BTUs (.3 Kw) of gas input
per hour. An unvented room heater is intended as a supplemental heater rather than a primary heat
source. 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 the proper size for the application, including adequate combustion air and
circulation air.
2. If there is high humidity, a dehumidi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.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
CAUTION: This heater shall not be installed in a room or space unless the required volume
of indoor combustion air is provided by the method described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANS
Z223.1/NFPA54, the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconned Space
3. Conned Space
The information on pages 8 through 10 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Conned and Unconned Space
A conned space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw)
of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that space and an unconning space as a
space whose volume is not less than 50 cu. ft. per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 m^3 per kw) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances installed in that space. Rooms connecting directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a
part of the unconned space.
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.
* Adjoining rooms are connecting only if there are doorless passageways or ventilation
grills between them.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and venti-
lation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional
fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is dened as construction where:
a) walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder
with a rating of one perm (6x10-11kg per pa-sec-m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed
and
b) weather stripping has been added on windows that can be opened and on doors and
c) caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames,
between sole plates and oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at
penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air.
See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors” (page 9). If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location”.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining if You Have a Conned or Unconned Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a conned or unconned space.
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms with
doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space Length × Width × Height = cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) × 16 ft.(width) × 8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume
of space)
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these
rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cu. ft. to determine the maximum BTU/hr the space can support.
_______ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft.= (Maximum BTU/hr the space can support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 51.2 or 51,200 (maximum BTU/hr the space
can support)
3. Add the BTU/hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.
Vent-free heater _________ BTU/hr
Gas water heater* ________BTU/hr
Gas furnace _____________BTU/hr
Vented gas heater ________BTU/hr Example:
Gas heater logs __________BTU/hr Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Other gas appliances*+ ____BTU/hr Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = ____BTU/hr Total = 56,000 BTU/hr
*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the
outdoors and vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum BTU/hr the space can support with the actual amount of BTU/hr used.
_______ BTU/hr (maximum the space can support)
_______ BTU/hr (actual amount of BTU/hr used).
Example : 51,200 BTU/hr (maximum the space can support) 56,000 BTU/hr (actual amount of
BTU/hr used)
The space in the above example is a conned space because the actual BTU/hr used is more than
the maximum BTU/hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
a) Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an
unconned space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See
“Ventilation Air From Inside Building,” page 9.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 9.
c) Install a lower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr size makes room unconned. If the actual BTU/hr
used is less than the maximum BTU/hr the space can support, the space is an unconned space.
You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

pressure is higher, heater regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to an LP supply. Install the external regulator between
the heater and gas supply if not using the provided gas hose assembly in an
ice house application.
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).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff valve in an accessible location. The equipment shutoff
valve is for turning on or shutting off the gas to the appliance.
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from going
into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
(See Fig. 17). Place sediment trap where it is
within reach for cleaning. Place sediment trap
where trapped matter is not likely to freeze. A
sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants.
This keeps them from going into heater controls.
If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, heater may not run properly.

a recreational or commercial enclosure. Units being installed using rigid piping may be wall mounted
and may be installed in residential dwellings and after market, permanently located manufactured
(mobile) homes, when permitted by local codes.
Connecting Gas Supply to Heater
1. Locate an elevated and level surface, such as a table, and
place a padded surface on it (cloth, cardboard, etc...) to prevent
scratching to the surface and/or heater.
2. Carefully place heater on top of the padded surface and on its
back
3. Apply thread sealant approved for liquid propane gas (not in-
cluded), to the 3/8” NPT end of the brass adaptor (included), that
screws into the regulator (See Figure 18). 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.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After all connections are made, check all connections and ttings on the LP gas tank valve, gas hose
and regulator for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent re or explosion while testing for a leak:
• Always perform leak test prior to lighting the heater.
• Do not smoke while testing for a leak.
• Always perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use any source of ame while testing for leaks.
• Do not use the heater until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas appliance service
dealer.
PERFORM LEAK TEST
• Prepare leak test solution by 50/50 ratio of liquid dish
soap and water. Total solution required is approximately
2 - 3 ounces (70 - 90 ml). Put leak test solution in a spray bottle.
• Ensure all control knobs are in the OFF position.
• Connect the gas hose to the gas supply.
• Open the LP gas tank valve.
