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 recommended
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.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater shall
not be installed in a conned
space or unusually tight con-
struction unless provisions are
provided for adequate combus-
tion and ventilation air. Read the
following instructions to insure
proper fresh air forthis and other
fuel-burning appliances in your
home.
Today’s homes are built more energy ef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
ef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 appli-
ances.
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF
UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
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:Iftheareainwhich
the heater may be operated does
notmeet the required volume for

objects are less than 36" from
the front, top, or sides of the
heater
• in high trafc areas
• in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This heater cre-
ates warm air currents. These
currents move heat to wall sur-
faces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall
coverings or operating heater
where impurities (such as to-
bacco smoke, aromatic candles,
cleaning uids, oil or kerosene
lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may

CAUTION: Two gas line in-
stallations at the same time are
prohibited.
CAUTION: To avoid gas leak-
age for the gas not being used at
the inlet of regulator, a qualied
installer or service technician
must use supplied cap.
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 regulator will
not work and the warranty will
be voided.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualied ser-
vice technician must connect
heater to gas supply. Follow all
local codes.
WARNING: This appliance
requires a 3/8" NPT (National
Pipe Thread) 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.
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.
CAUTION: For propane gas,
never connect heater directly
to the gas supply. This heater
requires an external regulator
(not supplied). Install the exter-
nal regulator between the heater
and gas supply. Gas supplier
provides external regulator for
natural gas. The installer pro-
vides the external regulator for
propane gas.
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" of water. If
gas linepressure ishigher, 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 shutoff valve*
• test gauge connection*
• sediment trap
• tee joint
• pipe wrench
• exible gas hose (check local codes)
* A CSA design-certied equipment shutoff
valve with 1/8" NPT tap is an acceptable al-
ternative to test gauge connection. Purchase
the optional CSA design certied equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
Use 3/8" black iron pipe or greater. Installa-
tion must include an equipment shutoff 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
15, page 17).
IMPORTANT: Install an equipment shutoff
valve in an accessible location. The equip-
ment shutoff valve is for turning on or shutting
off the gas to the appliance.

INSTALLATION
CHECKING GAS CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Test all gas piping
and connections for leaks after
installing or servicing. Correct
all leaks at once.
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 is a leak. Correct all
leaks at once.
Pressure Testing Gas Supply Piping System
Test Pressures In Excess Of 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa)
1. Disconnect heater with its appliance main
gas valve (control valve) and equipment
shutoff valve from gas supply piping sys-
tem. Pressures in excess of 1/2 PSIG will
damage heater regulator.
2. Cap off open end of gas pipe where equip-
ment shutoff valve was connected.
3. Pressurize supply piping system by either
opening propane supply tank valve for
propane gas or opening main gas valve
located on or near gas meter for natural
gas or using compressed air.
Figure 15 - Gas Connection
* Purchase the optional CSA design-certied equipment
shutoff valve from your dealer.
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.
For propane gas, the installer must supply
an external regulator. The external regulator
will reduce incoming gas pressure. You must
reduce incoming gas pressure to between 11"
and 14" of water. If you do not reduce incom-
ing gas pressure, heater regulator damage
could occur. Install external regulator with

freezing rain or sleet.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown
in Figure 15. 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 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.
