2.2 HEATER MOUNTING
The sportSchwank Series heater is approved for both horizontal and angle mounting.
When angle mounting, the short axis may be rotated to a maximum of 30°. Refer to
FIGURE 3. Improper angle mounting can result in damage to the heater and unsafe or
uncertain operation, and will void warranty.
IMPORTANT: For either horizontal or angle mounting, the long axis of the heater must
be level. Use only non-combustible mounting hardware. FIGURE 2 on Page 5 illus-
trates typical suspension hardware that may be used.
Maintain adequate clearance around air openings into the combustion chamber, clear-
ances from combustible material, provision for accessibility, and for combustion and
ventilating air supply.

2.3 GAS SUPPLY LINE INSTALLATION
 All piping must be installed according to local codes or, in the absence of local

Canada the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or the Pro-
pane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2..
 A drip-pocket at the inlet connection must be provided.
 Piping joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
 Ensure gas pipe is sized to meet the capacity requirements of all heaters in the sys-
