OUTDOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
For heaters located outdoors, using the built-in stackless
venting system.
Risk of explosion if a unit burning propane
gas is installed in a pit or other low spot. Propane is heav-
ier than air. Do not install the heater using propane in pits
or other locations where gas might collect. Consult your
local building code officials to determine installation require-
ments of heater relative to propane storage tanks and fill-
ing equipment. Installation must meet the requirements of
the Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquid
Petroleum
Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 (latest edition) in the U.S., or
CAN/CSA B149.2 (latest edition) in Canada. Consult local codes
and fire protection authorities about specific installation restric-
tions.
Locate the heater on a level surface in an open area that
is protected from drainage or run-off. Install the heater in
an area where leaves or other debris will not collect on
or around the heater.
This heater is designed for outdoor installation. However,
to avoid damage to the electronic components in the
heater, take care to prevent prolonged exposure to dri-
ving sources of water (such as lawn sprinklers, heavy
roof runoff, hoses, etc.). Avoid operation in persistent,
extreme, moist or salty environments.
In extreme weather, shut down the heater and discon-
nect the power to it until the weather has moderated. In
areas subject to hurricanes or very high winds, purchase
the Bolt Down Bracket Kit, Part No. 460738.
HEATER CLEARANCES – OUTDOOR
In the U.S.: If the heater is located under a roof or
deck overhang, there must be at least three feet (1M) of
clearance between the bottom of the overhang and the
top of the heater exhaust vent. If the heater is under a
roof or deck overhang, the space around the heater must
be open on three sides. See Figure 8 for minimum clear-
ances.
For minimum exhaust vent clearances for building open-
ings, see Figure 13, Page 15.
In Canada: If the heater is located under a roof or deck
overhang, there must be at least three feet (1M) of clear-
ance between the bottom of the overhang and the top of
the heater exhaust vent. If the heater is under a roof or
deck overhang, the space around the heater must be
open on three sides. See Figure 8 for minimum clear-
ances.
The heater must be installed with the top of the vent at
least 10 feet (3M) below, or to either side of, any open-
ing into a building.
In the U.S. and Canada: The heater is certified for instal-
lation on combustible flooring.
The following clearances must be maintained from
combustible surfaces:
TOP ...................................3 ft. (1 m)
EXHAUST SIDE................6 in. (15 cm)
HEADER SIDE..................18 in. (.5 m)
DOOR PANELS* ............12 in. (30 cm)
Note (*) For service access it is recommended to leave
at least 24 in. clearance for one of the door panels.
Orient the heater for convenient access to the water
