1.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
In planning the installation for the heater it is neces-
sary to determine where the unit is to be installed, the
type of flue system to be used (straight out, corner,
or elevated), and whether optional accessories (wall
switch or remote control) are desired. Gas supply
piping should also be planned. Refer to the appliance
data plate on the base pan of the heater for all gas
pressures and input rate information.
The heater can be mounted on any of the following
surface:
1. A flat surface (minimum 6 mm base).
2. Four (4) corner supports.
(Example: Four (4) concrete masonry blocks). These
supports must be positioned so they contact all four
(4) perimeter edges on the bottom of the unit.
Heaterframingcanbebuilt beforeor aftertheheater is
set in place. Framing should be positioned to accom-
modate wall covering and heater facing material. The
heater framing should be constructed of 2" X 4" (51 x
102 mm) lumber or heavier. The framing headers may
restonthe heaterstandoffs.Refer to Figure2 and Fig-
ure 4 for heater and framing reference dimensions.
NOTE: Not intended for heater insert.

1.1 INTRODUCTION
This model is designed to operate with all combustion
air being siphoned from the outside of the building
and all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of the
building.
WARNING: THIS UNIT IS NOT FOR USE WITH
SOLID FUEL.
These units MUST use the flue termination described
in the flueing section of the manual.
The control system for this model is an electronic ig-
nition type. It consists of a gas control valve/variable
regulator, a pilot/sensor/electrode and an ON/OFF
switch. The controls are located behind the access
door. Rotate the door down to open. See Figure 1.
Minimum inlet gas supply pressure for purpose of
input adjustment is 1.13 kPa for natural gas and 2.75
kPa for propane. Manifold (outlet) pressures should
be set at .8 kPa for natural gas models and 2.36 kPa
for propane models.

NOTES: 1. All distances are measured vertically or horizontally along the wall to a point
in line with the nearest part of the terminal.
2. Prohibited area below electricity meter or fuse box extends to ground level.
3. See clause 5.13.6.6 for restrictions on a flue terminal under a roofed area.
4. See Appendix J, Figure J1(a) and J2(a) for clearances required from a flue
terminal to a LP Gas cylinder. A flue terminal is considered to be a source of ignition.

1.2 FLUE SYSTEM APPROVALS
Thesemodelshavefluestartingcollarson boththe top
and the back of the unit. Depending upon the instal-
lation, decide which ONE set of starting collars will be
usedtoattach theflue system.The startingcollar seal-
ing cap must remain on the starting collar NOT used.
These models use SLP series direct flue components
whenusingthe TOP flue collars andDVP seriesdirect
flue components when using the REAR flue collars.
WARNING: YOU MUST NOT MIX DVP-SERIESAND
SLPSERIES COMPONENTS INANY FLUESYSTEM
CONFIGURATION.
Approved flue system components are labeled for
identification. NO OTHER FLUEING SYSTEMS OR
COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation
instructions are included with each flue termination kit
and should be used in conjunction with this manual.
Figure 5 below shows flue system components and
terminations.
Identifying Flue Components
The flue systems installed on this gas heater may
include one, two, or three 90° elbow assemblies. The
relationships of vertical rise to horizontal run in flue
configurations using 90° elbows MUST BE strictly
adhered to. The rise to run relationships are shown
in the flueing drawings and tables on the next few
pages.
WARNING: THIS GAS APPLIANCE AND FLUE AS-
SEMBLY MUST FLUE DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE
AND MUST NEVER BEATTACHED TOA CHIMNEY

ASEPARATE FLUE SYSTEM-COMMON FLUE SYS-
TEMS ARE PROHIBITED.

TIBLE MATERIALS ALL AROUND THE PIPE.
For alternative installations, other than depicted, con-
tact your dealer for further information.
