The dimensions and requirements that are shown
in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations
for the appliance.
1.6 Locating Pump-Mounted Water Heater
with Respect to Storage Tank(s)
For best results, a pump-mounted Pennant water
heater should be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the
storage tank(s). The pump is sized for 30 feet (9.1m)
of piping.
If the appliance must be installed with longer
piping runs, then larger diameter pipe or tubing may be
acceptable. Consult the factory for assistance.
1.7 Locating Pump-Mounted Boiler with
Respect to Return/Supply Header
For the best results, a pump-mounted Pennant
boiler should be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the
supply and return headers. The pump is sized for 30
feet (9.1m) of piping.
If the appliance must be installed with longer
piping runs, then larger diameter tubing may be
acceptable. Consult the factory for assistance.

Table 2. Clearances.
1.8 Locating Appliance for Correct
Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance
From Outside Wall
The forced draft combustion air blower in the
appliance has sufficient power to pull air and vent
properly when the guidelines for horizontal air and
vent are followed (see Table 1).
NOTE: On some models, the vent collar size is
larger than the size of the vent pipe that can be
used. Vent collar size and horizontal pipe diameters
can be found in Table 1. The larger vent collar
size is to accommodate Category I (vertical) vent
systems.
NOTE: When located on the same wall, the
Pennant combustion air intake terminal must
be installed a minimum of 12" (30cm) below the
exhaust vent terminal and separated by a minimum
of 36 inches (91cm) horizontally.
The air intake terminal must be installed high
enough to avoid blockage from snow, leaves and other
debris.

WARNING
For indoor installations, as an additional measure
of safety, Laars strongly recommends installation of
suitable Carbon Monoxide detectors in the vicinity of
this appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour des installations intérieures, Laars
recommande fortement, comme mesure de sécurité
supplémentaire, l’installation de détecteurs de
monoxyde de carbone adaptés dans le voisinage
de l’appareil et dans chacune des pièces habitées
adjacentes.
2.1 Combustion Air
Pennant boilers and water heaters must have
provisions for combustion and ventilation air in
accordance with the applicable sections addressing
requirements for air for combustion and ventilation of
