SECTION 1: HEATER SAFETY  
SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY  
The installer is responsible for the following:  
of combustible materials, corrosive chemicals or  
halogenated hydrocarbons* anywhere in the  
premises.  
To install the heater, as well as the gas and  
electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable  
specifications and codes. Roberts-Gordon  
recommends the installer contact a Local  
Building Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.  
* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical  
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen ele-  
ments (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are  
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If  
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life  
span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An out-  
side air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the  
presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be  
invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.  
To use the information given in a layout drawing  
and in the manual together with the cited codes  
and regulations to perform the installation.  
To install the heater in accordance with the  
clearances to combustibles.  
2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes  
To furnish all needed materials not furnished as  
standard equipment.  
All appliances must be installed in accordance with  
the latest revision of the applicable standards and  
national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas  
and venting installation. Note: Additional standards  
for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars,  
etc. may be applicable.  
To plan location of supports, vents and air  
intakes.  
To provide access for servicing.  
To provide the owner with a copy of this  
Installation, Operation and Service Manual.  
To never use heater as support for a ladder or  
other access equipment and never hang or  
suspend anything from heater.  
To ensure there is adequate air circulation  
around the heater and to supply air for  
combustion, ventilation and distribution in  
accordance with local codes.  
2.1 Wall Tag  
A laminated wall tag is included with the heater as a  
permanent reminder of the safety instructions and  
the importance of the required clearances to  
combustibles. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing  
of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and  
position the tag on a wall near the heater.  
A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040031) is illustrated  
on the back cover.  
Know your model number. Model number is found  
on the heater and throughout the Installation,  
Operation and Service Manual.  
2.2 Corrosive Chemicals  
Caution: Do not use heater in an area containing  
corrosive chemicals. Avoid the use of corrosive  
chemicals to ensure a longer life of the burner, heat  
exchanger and other parts.  
Roberts-Gordon cannot be responsible for ensuring  
that all appropriate safety measures are undertaken  
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility  
of the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the  
sub-contractor, or the owner identifies the presence

sheet metal screws.  
WARNING  
For single wall venting, pressure sensitive aluminum  
tape or silicone sealant must be used to seal all  
joints.  
Carbon Monoxide Hazard  
Heaters may be installed  
vented or unvented.  
Aluminum tape shall have a minimum temperature  
rating of 400° F (204° C) and meet SMACNA AFTS-  
100-73 standards. High temperature silicone  
sealant must have a minimum temperature rating of  
480° F (250° C).  
Vented heaters must be  
vented outdoors.  
Unvented heaters must be  
installed in buildings with  
ventilation rates as per  
section 6.4.  
6.2.1 United States Requirements  
Vent must terminate at least 3' (.9 m) above any  
forced air inlet located within 10' (3.1 m).  
Failure to follow these  
instructions can result in  
death or injury.  
Vent must terminate at least 4' (1.2 m) below,  
4' (1.2 m) horizontally from, or 1' (.3 m) above any  
door, operable window, or gravity air inlet into any  
building.  
6.1 Changing Vent and Air Intake Orientation  
The heater is sold with rear horizontal vent and air  
intake connections as standard (only separated  
combustion models have air intake connection). If  
vertical vent and air intake connections are required,  
follow the instructions on Page 46, Section 14.6.  
NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National  
Fuel Gas Code specifies a 4' (1.2 m) horizontal vent  
terminal clearance from gas and electric meters,  
regulators and relief equipment.  
6.2.2 Canadian Requirements  
6.2 Venting  
The vent shall not terminate within 6' (1.8 m) of a

or of the combustion air inlet of any other appliance.  
Any portion of vent pipe passing through a  
combustible wall must have a listed thimble to  
conform with the above codes.  
6.3 Vent Installation  
Maintain clearences to combustibles at all times  
for safety. Clearences are the required distances  
that combustible objects must be away from the  
heater to prevent serious fire hazard. See Page 7,  
Figure 4. For vented units, the vent must terminate  
outside of the building.  
Vents must be fully sealed and correctly sized for  
the model. If the vent passes through a wall or  
ceiling of combustible material, it must be enclosed  
by a listed thimble and be separated from the  
thimble by at least a 2" (5 cm) air gap.  
The heater may be installed unvented in  
certain circumstances according to building  
ventilation codes. Refer to the above codes and

Figure 10. Standard vented heaters do not allow  
outdoor air intake for combustion air.  
6.5 Horizontal Venting  
Horizontally vented heaters must be individually  
vented.  
Vent pipe must be sloped ¼" (.6 cm) 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.  
6.3.2 Separated Combustion Heaters  
(Models UHA[X]S 30 - 125)  
In noncombustible walls only, vent terminal  
(P/N 02537801-1P) may be used.  
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 19, Figure 12. 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 19,  
For seperated 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  
terminals.  
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).  
In the State of Massachusetts, the following  
regulations apply to horizontally-vented heaters  
certified for installation in structures used in whole or  
in part for residential purposes (UHA 30-75 only)

6.6 Vertical Venting  
Vertically vented heaters can be common vented  
(up to four heaters).  
6.9 Replacing an Existing Heater in a Venting  
System  
For vent lengths greater than 5' (1.5 m),  
condensation will form. Insulation is recommended  
and condensation drains may be desired. Venting  
through the top of the heater cabinet is not  
recommended if vent lengths are longer than 10'  
(3 m). In this case, 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).  
When replacing an existing heater in a venting  
system, the venting system may not be properly  
sized to vent the new heater. The following steps  
must be followed with each appliance connected to  
the venting system placed in operation, while any  
other appliances connected to the venting system  
are not in operation.  
1. Seal any unused openings in the venting  
system.  
2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and  
horizontal pitch, as required by the NFPA 54/  
ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision, National Fuel  
Gas Code (US) or Standard CSA B149.1  
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code  
(Canada) and these instructions. Determine  
that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage,  
corrosion and other deficiencies which could  
cause an unsafe condition.  
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  
A vent shall not extend less than 2' (.6m) above the  
highest point where it passes through a flat roof of a  
building.  
3. Close all building doors and windows and all  
doors between the space in which the  
appliance(s) connected to the venting system

must be in accordance with the appropriate  
local codes and the NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 -  
latest revision, National Fuel Gas Code (US) or  
Standard CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and  
Propane Installation Code (Canada).  
4. Follow the lighting instructions. Place the  
appliance being inspected in operation. Adjust  
thermostat so that the appliance will operate  
continuously.  
Figure 9: Vent and Roof Detail  
5. For any appliance having a draft hood, test for  
draft hood appliance spillage at the draft hood  
relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner  
operation. Use the flame of a match or candle.  
6. After it has been determined that each  
appliance connected to the venting system  
properly vents when tested as outlined above,  
return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace  
dampers and any other gas-burning appliances  
to their previous conditions of use.  
7. If improper venting is observed during any of  
the above tests, the venting system must be  
corrected by a contractor qualified in the  
installation and service of gas-fired equipment  
or your local gas supplier. If the venting must  
be resized, use appropriate tables in (US)

SECTION 7: AIR SUPPLY  
SECTION 7: AIR SUPPLY  
7.1 Separated Combustion Installation  
When installed as a separated combustion heater  
(UHA[X]S), the air for combustion is drawn in from  
outside the building. It is important to ensure that  
there is adequate space around heater to provide air  
for the axial air distribution fan.  
7.2 Unvented Installation  
It is important to ensure that there is adequate fresh  
air supply at all times for both combustion and  
heating requirements in accordance with local and  
national codes.  
WARNING: Combustion by-products contain a  
chemical known to the State of California to cause  
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.  
7.3 Building Ventilation  
Where ventilation is required, air must be taken from  
an outside point where it is not likely to be  
contaminated or obstructed.  
7.4 Outside Combustion Air Supply  
If outside combustion air supply is required,  
separated combustion model (UHA[X]S) heaters  
must be used.  
Caution: If the building has a slight negative  
pressure or corrosive contaminants such as  
halogenated hydrocarbons are present in the air, an  
outside combustion air supply to the heater is  
required. Seal all combustion air pipe joints.  
The flexible air duct may have to be insulated to  
prevent condensation on the outer surface. The  
outside air terminal must not be more than 1' (31  
cm) above the vent terminal.  
7.4.1 Length Requirements

SECTION 8: GAS PIPING  
• Gas supply pipe work is run in medium or heavy  
gauge tubing in compliance with local and  
national codes.  
WARNING  
• Meter and service must be large enough to  
handle all the burners being installed plus any  
other connected load. The gas pipe which feeds  
the system must be large enough to supply the  
required gas with a maximum pressure drop of  
1/2" wc When gas piping is not included in the  
layout drawing, contact the local gas supplier.  
Fire Hazard  
Connect gas supply according to Figure 15.  
• An isolating valve and union connection should  
be used and fitted into the supply adjacent to the  
heater.  
• A minimum 1/8" NPT plugged tapping  
accessible for test connection must be installed  
immediately upstream of the gas supply  
connection to the heater.  
• For suspended heaters, an approved metal  
flexible connection between the isolating valve  
and the heater may be used. To reduce  
pressure loss, use one pipe size larger than  
the heater gas connection.  
IMPORTANT - The complete installation must be  
purged and tested for gas soundness in accordance  
with local and national codes.  
Caution: Do not high pressure (in excess of 1/2 psi  
[14" wc]) test the gas piping with the burner  
connected. Close manual shut-off valve during any  
pressure testing equal to or less than 1/2 psi (14"  
wc).  
Check the pipe and tubing ends for leaks before  
placing heating equipment into service. When  
checking for gas leaks, use a soap and water  
solution; never use an open flame.  
Do not use gas supply pipe and electrical  
connections to support heater’s weight.  
Gas can leak if not installed properly.  
Failure to follow these instructions can  
result in death, injury or property damage.  
A gas meter is connected to the service pipe by the  
gas supply company. An existing meter should be  
checked, preferably by the company, to ensure that  
the meter is adequate for the rate of gas supply  
required.  
Installation pipes must be fitted in accordance with  
local and national codes. Pipes of smaller size than  
the heater inlet gas connection should not be used.  
8.1 Connections  
Connect the heater to the gas supply ensuring that  
the final connections are as follows:

2. The automatic firing sequence will begin as  
described on Page 30, Figure 16. The heater  
will now operate automatically under the control  
of the on site controls.  
11.4.2 To Turn the Heater Off  
Set the thermostat to the "OFF" position.  
The burner will turn off immediately.  
The fan will continue to run for 90 seconds.  
To restart, turn the thermostat above room  
temperature.  
11.5 Simple Troubleshooting  
Some possible reasons for the heater not operating  
are:  
1. Gas supply not "ON".  
2. Electricity supply not "ON".  
3. The time and/or temperature controls are not  
"ON".  
4. A limit switch may have operated. This may be  
caused by an interruption of the electrical  
supply, failure of the distribution fan or vent or  
heat exchanger blockage.  
If a temperature limit switch persistently trips, there  
is a fault which must be investigated by a contractor  
qualified in the installation and service of gas-fired  
heating equipment.  
11.5.1 Simple Troubleshooting (Burner Faults)  
If the burner fails to ignite for any reason, it will retry  
for ignition (four trials total). After four unsuccessful  
ignition trials, the control will put the heater into  
lockout for one hour.  
Lockout should not occur during normal operation of  
the heater and indicates there is a fault condition  
which must be corrected. There is an LED light on  
the ignition control that flashes codes to assist in  
fault correction. See Page 34, Figure 20 for LED  
indication codes.
