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 recommended as a supplemental heater (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 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
Before beginning assembly or operation of the product, make sure all parts are present.
Compare parts with package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt
to assemble, install or operate the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
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 9 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
ventilation. 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 10). If your home does not meet all of the
three criteria above, proceed to “Determining Fresh-Air Flow For Heater Location”.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required
volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided
by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
the International Fuel Gas Code, or applicable local codes

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 10.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air From Outdoors”, page 10.
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.

10
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation
grills or duct. You must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12 in. of
the ceiling and one within 12 in. 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 NFPA
54/ANS Z223.1. Air for Combustion and
Ventilation for required size of ventilation
grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from adjoining
unconned space. When ventilating to an
adjoining unconned space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one
within 12 in. of the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2,
Fig. 1). You can also remove door into
adjoining room (see option 3, Fig. 1).
Follow the National Fuel Gas Code
NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1. 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.

Fig. 2 - Ventilation Air from Outdoors
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated does not meet the required
volume for indoor combustion air, combustion and ventilation air shall be provided by one
of the methods described in the NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the
INTERNATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE, or applicable local codes.

A CSA/AGA design-certied equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8-inch NPT tap is an acceptable
alternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA/AGA design-certied equipment
shutoff valve.
The installer must supply an external regulator for
liquid propane. The external regulator is provided
by the gas supplier for natural gas. The external
regulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduce incoming gas pressure to minimum
allowable on rating label. If you do not reduce
Fig. 13 - Gas Connection
incoming gas pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with the vent
down as shown in Fig. 12. Pointing the vent down
protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Installation must include equipment shutoff valve,
union, and plugged 1/8-in. NPT tap. Locate NPT
tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap
must be upstream from heater (see Fig. 13). To
prevent performance problems, Propane/LP tank
of less than 100 lb. capacity is not recommended.
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.
CAUTION: Use only a new, black iron or
steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper tubing may
be used in certain areas. Check your local
codes. Use pipe 1/2-in. diameter or greater to
allow proper gas volume to heater. If pipe is too
small, loss of pressure will occur.
CAUTION: Use pipe joint sealant that is
resistant to natural gas (NG) or liquid petroleum
(LP) gas.
We recommend that you install a sediment
trap in the supply line as shown in Fig.13.
Place sediment trap where it is within reach for
cleaning and 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
incorrectly, heater may not run properly.
IMPORTANT: Hold pressure regulator with
wrench when connecting it to gas piping
and/or ttings.
*Purchase the optional CSA design-certied
equipment shutoff valve from your dealer.

CAUTION: Two gas line installations at the same time are prohibited. The access plate to the
simple switching means shall not be opened while the heater is in operation.
This appliance can be used with propane or natural gas. It is shipped from the factory adjusted
for use with propane. Only a qualied installer or service technician can perform gas selection
and connecting to gas supply. Overtightening of inlet gas line can cause a crack in the internal
regulator.
CAUTION: To avoid gas leakage at the inlet of regulator, a qualied installer or service
technician must use steel or metal hex plug with sealant.
For changing from propane to natural gas supply
1. Overturn chassis (see Fig. 14).
2. For NATURAL GAS, press in knob using a at screwdriver with a blade the width of a quarter
and turn knob clockwise
until the knob locks into the NG position (see Fig. 15).
3. Remove steel or metal hex plug (with wrench provided) from natural gas inlet of regulator
and install into LP inlet of regulator, use thread sealant to assure there are no leaks.
For changing from natural gas supply to propane supply
1. Overturn chassis (see Fig. 14).
2. For PROPANE GAS, press in knob using a at screwdriver with a blade the width of a
quarter and turn knob counterclockwise
until the knob locks into the LP position (see
Fig. 16). Fuel selection device must be locked into either the LP position or the NG position.
3. Remove steel or metal hex plug from LP gas inlet of regulator and install into NG inlet of
regulator, use thread sealant to assure there are no leaks.
Fuel selection device must be locked in the NG position. Do not operate heater
between locked positions.

CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping and connections for leaks after installing or servicing. Correct
all leaks immediately.
WARNING: Never use an open ame to check for a leak. Apply a mixture of liquid soap and
water to all joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak. Correct all leaks immediately.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG ( 3.5kPa )
1. Disconnect heater with its appliance main gas valve (control valve) and equipment shutoff
valve from gas supply piping system. Pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG will damage heater
regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equipment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening gas supply
tank valve.
4. Check all joints of gas supply piping system. Apply mixture of liquid soap and water to gas
joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak.
5. Correct all leaks immediately.
6. Reconnect heater and equipment shutoff valve to gas supply. Check reconnected
ttings for leaks.
Test Pressures Equal To or Less Than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Close equipment shutoff valve (see Fig. 17).
2. Pressure supply piping system by either using compressed air or opening gas supply tank
valve.
3. Check all joints from gas meter to equipment shutoff valve (see Fig.18). Apply mixture
of liquid soap and water to gas joints. If bubbles form, there may be a leak.
