LOCATING THE UNIT
WARNING
To prevent death, personal injury, property
damage or equipment damage, the
following points must be observed when
installing the unit.
ALL INSTALLATIONS:
•
For proper flame pattern within the heat exchanger and
proper condensate drainage, the unit must be mounted
level.
•
The flue outlet hood must be at least 12 inches from any
opening through which flue gases could enter a building,
and at least three feet above any forced air inlet located
within ten feet. The economizer/manual fresh air intake/
motorized fresh air intake and combustion air inlet
mounted on the unit are not affected by this restriction.
•
To avoid possible corrosion of the heat exchanger, do
not locate the unit in an area where the outdoor air (i.e.
combustion air for the unit) will be frequently contami-
nated by compounds containing chlorine or fluorine.
Common sources of such compounds include swim-
ming pools and chlorine bleaches, paint stripper, adhe-
sives, paints, varnishes, sealers, waxes (which are not
yet dried) and solvents used during construction and
remodeling. Various commercial and industrial pro-
cesses may also be sources of chlorine/fluorine com-
pounds.
•
To avoid possible illness or death of the building occu-
pants, do NOT locate outside air intake device (econo-
mizer, manual fresh air intake, motorized fresh air
intake) too close to an exhaust outlet, gas vent termina-
tion, or plumbing vent outlet. For specific distances
required, consult local codes.
