FRESH AIR
FOR
COMBUSTION
AND
WARNING
WARNING ICON
G
001
This heater shall not be installed in a confined space unless provi-
sions are provided for adequate combustion and ventilation air.
Read the following instructions to insure proper fresh air for this
and other fuel-burning appliances in your home.
Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased
insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home
owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out
and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as
airtight as possible.
VENTILATION
While it is good to make your home energy efficient, your home needs to breathe.
Fresh air must enter your home. All fuel-burning appliances need fresh air for proper
combustion and ventilation.
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from
the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This
will insure proper venting of vented fuel-burning appliances.
PROVIDING ADEQUATE VENTILATION
The following is exerpts from National Fuel Gas Code. NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three following ventilation classifications:
1. Unusually Tight Contruction; 2. Unconfined Space; 3. Confined Space.
The information on pages 5 through 7 will help you classify your space and provide
adequate ventilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for
combustion and ventilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction,
you must provide additional fresh air.
Unusually tight construction is defined as construction where:
a. walls and ceilings exposed to the outside atmosphere have a continu-
ous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6x10-11 per pa-sec-
m2) or less with openings gasketed or sealed and
b. weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and
c. caulking or sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and
door frames, between sole plates and floors, between wall-ceiling joints,
betweenwallpanels, atpenetrationsforplumbing, electrical, andgaslines,
and at other openings.
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional
fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to page 6.
Confined and Unconfined Space
The National Fuel Gas Code (ANSIZ2123.1, 1992 Section 5.3) defines a confined
space as a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet** per 1,000 Btu per hour
(4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all appliances installed in that
space and an unconfined space as a space whose volume is not less than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 m3 per kw) of the aggregate input rating of all
appliances installed in that space. Rooms communicating directly with the space in
which the appliances are installed*, through openings not furnished with doors, are
considered a part of the unconfined space.
* Adjoining rooms are communicating only if there are doorless passageways or
ventilation grills between them.
** Cubic feet equals length x width x height of room.

DETERMINING FRESH-AIR FLOW FOR HEATER LOCATION
FRESH AIR
FOR
Determining if You Have a Confined or Unconfined Space
Use this worksheet to determine if you have a confined or unconfined space.
COMBUSTION
AND
Space: Includes the room in which you will install heater plus any adjoining rooms
with doorless passageways or ventilation grills between the rooms.
1. Determine the volume of the space (length x width x height).
VENTILATION
Length x Width x Height = _________________ cu. ft. (volume of space)
Example: Space size 20 ft. (length) x 16 ft. (width) x 8 ft. (ceiling height) =
2560 cu. ft. (volume of space)
Continued
If additional ventilation to adjoining room is supplied with grills or openings, add
the volume of these rooms to the total volume of the space.
2. Divide the space volume by 50 cubic feet to determine the maximum Btu/Hr the
space can support.
___________ (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = (Maximum Btu/Hr the space can
support)
Example: 2560 cu. ft. (volume of space) ÷ 50 cu. ft. = 51.2 or 51,200 (maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support)
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of
Btu/Hr used.
_______________ Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
_______________ Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example: 51,200 Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
60,000 Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is
more than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide additional
fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space
provides an unconfined space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation
grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From Inside Building, page 7.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the
space is an unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.

CONNECTING
TO GAS
NOTICE
A qualified service person must connect heater to gas supply. Fol-
low all local codes.
SUPPLY
WARNING
Never connect heater to private (non-utility) gas wells. This gas is
commonly known as well-head gas.
IMPORTANT: Check gas line pressure before connecting heater to gas line. Gas line
pressure must be no greater than 14 inches of water. If gas line pressure is higher, heater
regulator damage could occur.
CAUTION
Use only new, black iron or steel pipe. Internally-tinned copper
tubing may be used in certain areas. Check your local codes. Use
pipe of large enough diameter to allow proper gas volume to heater.
If pipe is too small, undue loss of pressure will occur.
Typical Inlet Pipe Diameters
20,000 Btu/Hr Models
30,000 Btu/Hr Model
3/8" or greater
1/2" or greater
Installation must include a manual shutoff valve, union, and plugged 1/8" NPT tap.
Locate NPT tap within reach for test gauge hook up. NPT tap must be upstream from
heater (see Figure 13, page 15).
Apply pipe joint sealant lightly to male threads. This will prevent excess sealant from
going into pipe. Excess sealant in pipe could result in clogged heater valves.
CAUTION
Use pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquid petroleum (LP) gas.
Install sediment trap in supply line as shown in Figure 13, page 15. Locate sediment
trap where it is within reach for cleaning. Locate sediment trap where trapped matter
is not likely to freeze. A sediment trap traps moisture and contaminants. This keeps
them from going into heater controls. If sediment trap is not installed or is installed
wrong, heater may not run properly.

OPERATING
HEATER
TO TURN OFF GAS TO APPLIANCE
Shutting Off Heater
1. Turn control knob clockwise
to the OFF position.
Clockwise
2. Turn off all electric power to the appliance if service is to be performed.
Shutting Off Burner Only (pilot stays lit)
1. Turn control knob clockwise
to the PILOT position.
Clockwise
THERMOSTAT CONTROL OPERATION
The thermostatic control used on these models differs from standard thermo-
stats. Standard thermostats simply turn on and off the burner. The thermostat
used on this heater senses the room temperature. The thermostat adjusts the
amount of gas flow to the burner. This increases or decreases the burner flame
height. At times the room may exceed the set temperature. If so, the burner will
shut off. The burner will cycle back on when room temperature drops below the
set temperature. The control knob can be set to any heat level between HI and
LO.
Note: The thermostat sensing bulb measures the temperature of air near the
heater cabinet. This may not always agree with room temperature (depending on
housing construction, installation location, room size, open air temperatures,
etc.). Frequent use of your heater will let you determine your own comfort levels.
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. Remove front panel (see Figure 7, page 11).
2. Follow steps 1 through 5 under Lighting Instructions, pages 17 and 18.
3. With control knob pressed in, strike match. Hold match to pilot until pilot
lights.
4. Keep control knob pressed in for 30 seconds after lighting pilot. After 30
seconds, release control knob.
5. Replace front panel.
