PART 2 - INSTALLATION / SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION 1 / RECEIVING EQUIPMENT
On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that
you visually check for external damage to the carton. If
the carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill
of Lading when signing for equipment. Remove the
heater from the carton and if it is damaged, report the
damage to the carrier immediately.
On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure
that you receive the number of packages indicated on
the Bill of Lading.
When ordering parts, you must specify model and
serial number of the heater. When ordering under
warranty conditions, you must also specify date of
installation.
Raypak recommends that this manual be reviewed
thoroughly before installing your Raypak pool/spa
heater. If there are any questions that this manual does
not answer, please contact the factory or your local
Raypak Representative.
SECTION 2 / GENERAL
SPECIFICATIONS
These heaters are design certified and tested under
the requirements of ANSI Z21.56/CSA 4.7 American
National Standard/CSA Standard for gas fired pool
heaters.
The heater is interchangeable and can be used either
indoor or outdoors. The appropriate top designated for
that type of use is required. If desired, the top can be
changed at a later date to change from outdoor to indoor
or vice versa. Millivolt heaters contain a self-generating
electrical system operating between .25 and .75 volts.

Rated inputs suitable for up to 2000 feet eleva-
tion. For elevations above 2000 feet, reduce input 4% for
each 1000 feet above sea level, as high elevation reduces
combustion performance.
SECTION 3 / INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTICE
These instructions are intended for the use of
qualified personnel only, specifically trained and expe-
rienced in the installation of this type of heating equip-
ment and related system components. Installation and
service personnel may be required by some states to be
licensed. If your state is such, be sure your contractor
bears the appropriate license. Persons not qualified
shall not attempt to fix this equipment nor attempt
repairs according to these instructions.
WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment, altera-
tion, service or maintenance may damage the equip-
ment, create a hazard resulting in asphyxiation, explo-
sion or fire, and will void the warranty.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: The heater should not be located in an area
where possible water leakage will result in damage to
the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure.
When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recom-
mended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained,
be installed under the appliance. The pan must not
restrict combustion air flow.
Installation must be in accordance with local codes,
or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition
of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, and the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
BASE INSTALLATION
Heater must be mounted on a level base, such as
cement slab, cement blocks or another non-combus-
tible surface. An optional non-combustible base is avail-
able for all models. An alternate method for providing
a base for combustible floors is illustrated. Heaters may
not be installed on carpeting.
