PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vaporis 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 entirehouse). 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 insure that water vapor does not
become a problem:
1. Be sure the heater is theproper size for the application, including adequate combustion air and circulation air.
2. If there is high humidity, the dehumidifier may be used to helplower the water vapor content of theair.
3. Do not use an unvented room heater as the primary heat source.

AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
WARNING: This heater should not be installed ina confined 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.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
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, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, the INTERNATIONAL FUEL
GAS CODE, or applicable local codes.
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation. All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Construction
2. Unconfined Space
3. Confined Space
The information on pages 8 through 9 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The NationalFuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 defines a confined 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 spaceand an unconfining
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 communicating directly with the space in which the appliances are
installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are considered a part of the unconfined space.
This heater shall not be installed in a confined 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
UnusuallyTight Construction
The air that leaks arounddoors 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 defined 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
-11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) 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 platesand
floors, 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”.
DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOWFOR HEATER LOCATION
Determining ifYou Have aConfined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you havea confined or unconfined 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) ×16ft.(width) ×8 ft. (ceiling height) = 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
If additional ventilation toadjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add the volume of these rooms to the
total volume of the space.

8
2. Divide the space volumeby 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 or51,200 (maximum BTU/hr the spacecan 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
Gas heater logs _____________BTU/hr
Other gas appliances*+BTU/hr
Total =_____________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 ofBTU/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 aboveexample is aconfined space becausethe 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 providesan unconfined 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 unconfined. If the actual BTU/hr used is less
than the maximum BTU/hr the spacecan support, the space is an unconfined space. You will need no
additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined as an unconfined 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, Air for Combustion and Ventilation, or
applicable local codes.
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.
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 BTU/hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 BTU/hr
Total = 56,000 BTU/hr

9
Ventilation Air From Inside Building
This fresh air would come from adjoining
unconfined space. Whenventilating to an
adjoining unconfined space, you must
provide two permanent openings: one
within 12 inches of 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 NFPA
54/ANSI Z223.1. 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 duct. You must provide two
permanent openings: one within 12 inches
of the ceilingand one within 12 inches of
the floor. 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/ANSI 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 theadjoining unconfined space. The
combined spaces must have enough fresh air to
supply all appliances in both spaces.

CONNECTING TO GAS SUPPLY
WARNING: A qualified technician must connect heater to gas supply. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: This appliance requires a 3/8 in. NPT inlet connection to pressure regulator (see Figure 10).
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not
supplied). The external regulator between the gas supply andheater must be installed.
INSTALLATION ITEMS NEEDED
Before installing heater, make sure you have the items listed below:
·piping (check local codes)
·sealant (resistant to propane/LP gas)
·equipment shutoff valve*
·test gauge connection**
·sediment trap
·tee joint
·pipe wrench
·Flexible Gashose (check local code)
*A CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve with 1/8 in. NPT tap is an acceptablealternativeto test gauge
connection.
**Purchase the optional CSA design certified equipment shutoff valve fromyour dealer.
WARNING: Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is commonly known as wellhead 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 inches of watercolumn for propane andbetween 5
and 10.5 inches of watercolumn for natural gas. If you do notreduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator withthe vent pointing down as shown in Figure 11. Pointing the
vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.
Figure 11 - External Regulator With
Vent Pointing Down
Figure 10 - Gas Regulator Location and Gas
Line Access Into Stove Cabinet

14
CAUTION: Use only new black iron or steel pipe. Internally tinned coppertubing may be used in certain areas.
Check your local codes. Use pipe of ½inch diameter or greater to allow proper volume gas to heater. If pipe is
too small, loss of pressure will occur. Installation must include an equipment shutoff valve, union, and plugged
1/8-inch NPT tap. Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstreamfrom heater
(see Figure 12).
IMPORTANT: Install 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 pipe joint sealant that is resistant to gas (PROPANE or NG). We recommend that you install a
sediment trap in a supplyline as shown in Figure 12. Locate sediment trap where it is within reach for cleaning
and not likely to freeze. Install in the piping system between fuel supply and heater. Asediment trap traps
moisture and contaminants. This keeps them from going intoheater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is
installed incorrectly, heater may not run properly.
CAUTION: Avoid damage to regulator. Hold gas regulator with wrench when connecting into gas piping and/or
fittings. NG Models: 5 in. to 10.5 in. W.C. Gas supplier provide external regulator for natural gas.
*Purchase the optional CSA design-certified equipment shutoff valve fromyour dealer.See "Accessories".
