OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY (optional, unless installing in a mobile home)
Adequate ventilation air is required to operate this heater. During operation, the heater draws air for combustion which
can be assisted by the installation of outside combustion air inlets. However, certain weather conditions such as icing or
use of kitchen exhaust fans may impact and reduce the effectiveness of vents. It is important to note that room air starva-
tion will negatively impact the operation of the heater.
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
Metal pipe (solid or fl exible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should NEVER
be used.
A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away from the prevailing winds
MUST be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building. The outside air termination MUST
be at least 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 2” (50.8mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2” (50.8mm) ID.
The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. The outside air connecting
pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must fi t over, not inside, the outside air connection to the heater.
