Gas Conversion Instructions for Model CAUA, RZ 405-GC
Model CAUA heaters are design-certified by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA) to ANSI Z83.6 and CGA 2.6-M96 for industrial/
commercial installations in the United States and Canada. Heaters are
available for use with either natural or propane gas. The type of gas, the
firing rate, and the electrical characteristics are on the unit rating plate.
A Model CAUA heater requires installation of an inlet air duct or an
optional inlet air base and a supply duct or an optional discharge ple-
num. This heater may be installed as a separated-combustion system
(taking combustion air from outside) or as a power-vented system
(taking combustion air from the space where the heater is installed).
