indoor environment. All air for combustion is
brought in from the outside and exhaust gases
are vented through the same direct vent, co-axial
(intake/exhaust) vent system.

an alternate heat source when installed in a
dwelling.
Millivolt Models - Btu input
Millivolt models come standard with the manu-
ally-modulated gas valve; flame appearance and
heat output can be controlled at the gas valve.
The BTU Input for millivolt models is shown
in Table 1:
The Millivolt appliances have a millivolt gas
control valve with piezo ignition system provides
safe, efficient operation. If any optional acces-
sories which require electrical power are being
installed, the electrical power must be provided
at the time of appliance installation.
The Electronic appliances have an electronic
intermittent pilot system provides safe, efficient
