Vents and air intakes must be adequately
supported so that the heater does not bear the
weight of the pipes.
For vent termination See Page 11, Figure 4 through
Page 14, Figure 9
.

6.3.1 Standard Vented Heaters
(Models UHD[X][R] 150 - 400)
The vent must be fitted with a low resistance
terminal. See Page 11, Figure 4 through Page 12,
Figure 5
. Standard vented heaters do not allow
outdoor air intake for combustion air.

6.3.2 Separated Combustion Heaters
(Models UHD[X]S[R] 150 - 400)
The heaters are designed to be installed as
separated combustion heaters. The vent and air
intake are run as separate pipes to the wall or roof
terminals. See Page 14, Figure 9. As an option, the
vent and air intake are run as separate pipes to a
concentric vent box and a concentric vent/air intake
pipe penetrates the wall or roof. See Page 13,
Figure 8
and Page 14, Figure 9.
For separated combustion installation, the vent and
air intake must be fitted with an individual and
correctly sized sealed system and the vent and air
intake must terminate at approved wall and roof
terminate at approved wall and roof terminals.
Separated combustion units may not be common
vented. See Page 9, Section 6.

6.4 Unvented Operation

This heater is not approved to be installed in
residential buildings.
For unvented operation in commercial installations,
sufficient building ventilation must be provided in the
amount of 4 cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (United

States); 3 cfm per 1000 Btu/h firing rate (Canada).

WARNING: Combustion by-products contain a
chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

6.5 Horizontal Venting

Horizontally vented heaters must be individually
vented.

Vent pipe must be sloped ¼" (.6 cm) downward for
every 1' (.3 m). For vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5
m), condensation will form. Insulation is
recommended and condensation drains may be
desired.

In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal
(P/N 02537801-1P) may be used.

For 4'' (10 cm) vents in either combustible or
noncombustible walls, use vent terminal (P/N
90502100) or equivalent insulated vent terminal.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper
installation.

Instead of an insulated vent terminal, a listed thimble
(with 2" (5 cm) air gap) may be used with a 4" (10
cm) vent cap (P/N 90502102).

6.6 Vertical Venting

Vertically-vented standard-vented heaters can be
common vented (up to four heaters).
For vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),
condensation will form. Insulation is recommended
and condensation drains may be desired. Vent from
the rear of the heater cabinet then run the vent
vertically and use a condensate drain at the bottom
of the vertical vent.
Vent pipe must be sloped 1/4'' (.6 cm) for every
1' (.3 m).

For 4'' (10 cm), an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502102) must be used.

For 6'' (15 cm) common vent, an approved vent cap
(P/N 90502103) must be used.

For common vertical venting of more than two
heaters, See Page 12, Figure 6.

A vent shall not extend less than 2' (.6m) above the
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a
building.

6.7 Length Requirements

If using vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),
condensation will form in the vent pipe. Insulation
and additional sealing measures (high temperature
silicone at all seams) are required.

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Heaters may be installed

vented or unvented.

Vented heaters must be

vented outdoors.

Unvented heaters must be

installed in buildings with

ventilation rates as per

section 6.4.

Failure to follow these

instructions can result in

death or injury.
