PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
WATER VAPOR: A BY-PRODUCT OF UNVENTED ROOM HEATERS
Water vaporis aby-product of gas combustion. An unventedroom heater producesapproximately one (1) ounce
(30ml) of water for every1,000 BTUs (.3kWs) of gas input per hour. An unventedroom heater is recommended as a
supplemental heater (a room) rather than aprimary heat source (an entire house). In most supplemental heat
applications,the water vapor does not create aproblem. In most applications, the water vaporenhances the low
humidity atmosphere experiencedduring coldweather. Thefollowingsteps will helpinsure thatwater vapordoes 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 in aconfined space or unusuallytight construction unless
provisionsare provided for adequatecombustionand ventilation air. Read the following instructions to insure
proper fresh air for this and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
PRODUCING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
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 10 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ventilation.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code,ANSI Z223.1 definesaconfined space as aspace whose volume is less than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 BTU per hour (4.8 cubic meters per kw) of theaggregate input rating ofall appliances installed inthat
space andanunconfiningspace asaspace whose volume isnot lessthan50 cubicfeet per 1,000BTU perhour (4.8
cubic metersper kw) ofthe aggregate input rating of allappliances 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 door less 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.
Unusuallytight construction isdefined as constructionwhere:
a) walls andceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have acontinuous water vapor retarder with aratingof one
perm (6x10
-11
kg per pa-sec-m
2
) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b) Weather stripping hasbeen addedon windowsthat can be opened and on doors and
c) Caulking or sealants are appliedtoareas suchas jointsaround windowand door frames, between sole plates and
floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing,electrical, and gas lines,and
at other openings.
If your homemeets all of the threecriteria above, youmust provideadditional fresh air. See “Ventilation Air from
Outdoors”(page 9). If your home doesnot meet all of the three criteria above, proceedto “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 door less 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 ventilationto 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 volumeby 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum BTU/hr the spacecan 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 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 areas follows:
a) Rework worksheet, adding the spaceof anadjoining room. Ifthe extraspace providesan unconfined space,
removedoorto adjoining room or addventilationgrills between rooms. See “Ventilation Air from Outdoors,”
page 9.
b) Vent room directly to the outdoors. See “Ventilation Air from Outdoors”, Page 9.
c) Install alower BTU/hr heater if lower BTU/hr sizemakes 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 areainwhich theheater may beoperatedissmaller than that defined as anunconfined space or if
the building isof unusuallytight construction, provide adequatecombustionand ventilation air by one of the methods
described inthe NationalFuel Gas Code, ANSIZ223.1/NFPA 54,Air for Combustion and Ventilation, 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 opento 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 allappliances in both spaces.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE: This heater is intended for use as supplemental heat. Use this heater along with your primary heating
system. Do not install this heater as your primary heat source. If you havea central heating system, you may run
system’s circulating blower while using heater. This will help circulate the heat throughout the house.
WARNING: A qualified technician must install heater. Follow all local codes.
WARNING: Never install the heater
·in a bedroom or bathroom
·in a recreational vehicle
·Where curtains, furniture, clothing, or other flammable objects are less than 42 inches from the front, top or sides
of the heater.
·in high traffic areas
·in windy or drafty areas
CAUTION: This heater creates warm air currents. These currents moveheat to wall surfaces next to heater. Installing
heater next to vinyl or cloth wall coverings or operating heater where impurities (such as tobacco smoke, aromatic
candles, cleaning fluids, oil or kerosene lamps, etc.) in the air exist, may cause walls to discolor.
WARNING: Maintain the minimum clearances. Ifyou can, provide greater clearances from floor, ceiling and adjoining
side and back walls.
IMPORTANT: Vent-free heaters add moisture to the air. Although this is beneficial, installing heater in rooms without
enough ventilation air may cause mildew to form from too much moisture. See Air for Combustion and Ventilation, pages 7
through 9.
CHECK GAS TYPE
Use only thetype of gas indicated on the plate. If your gas supply cannot meet that requirement, do not install heater.
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES
Carefully follow the instructions below. This heater is a wall mount unit designed to mount directly on a wall.
IMPORTANT: You must maintain minimum wall and ceiling clearances during installation.
The minimum clearances are shown in Figure 4. Measure from outermost point of heater.
Minimum Wall and Ceiling Clearances (see Figure 4)
A. Clearances from outermost point of heater to any
combustible side wall should not be less than 12
inches.
B. Clearances from the heater to the ceiling should
not be less than 48 inches.
Figure 4 –Minimum Clearance to Wall and Ceiling

11
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 5).
CAUTION: Never connect heater directly to the gas supply. This heater requires an external regulator (not supplied). The
external regulator between the gas supply and heater 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)
ACSA design-certified equipment shutoff valvewith 1/8 in.NPT tap isan acceptable alternativeto 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 supplyan externalregulator. The externalregulator will reduce incoming gas pressure. You
must reduceincoming gas pressure to between11 and 14 inches of water column for propaneand between5
and 10.5 inches of water column for natural gas. If you do notreduce incoming gas pressure, heater regulator
damage could occur. Install external regulator withthe vent pointing downas shown in Figure 6. Pointing the
vent down protects it from freezing rain or sleet.

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 7).
IMPORTANT: Install equipment shutoff valveinan accessiblelocation. The equipment shutoff valveisfor turning on
or shutting off the gas to the appliance. Applypipe joint sealant lightlyto 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 7. Locate sediment trapwhere it is within reach for cleaning and
not likely tofreeze. Install in thepiping system between fuelsupply andheater. Asediment 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.
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 shut off valve from your dealer. See "Accessories".
CAUTION: Two gas line installationsat the sametime are forbidden. You are not allowed to open the cover while the
machine is running.
Heater is pre-set at factory for propane gas, no changes are required for connecting topropane. Only a qualified installer
or service technician canperform gas selection and connectingto gas supply.
CAUTION: To avoid gasleakage atthe inlet ofregulator, aqualified installer or servicetechnician must use steel
or metal hex plug with sealant.
