2.0 INSTALLATION 

CAUTION 

The equipment installation shall conform with local building codes, or in the absence 
of local codes in accordance with the Installation Code for Gas Burning Appliances 
and Equipment, 

CAN1-B149 in Canada

 or 

Z223.1 in USA

, and applicable 

Provincial/State Regulations; which should be carefully followed in all cases.  
Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.  

Installation may be in accordance with applicable standards including;  

Installation Code for 

Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment, CAN1-B149.1 

Installation Code for 

Propane Burning Appliances and Equipment, CAN1-B149.2

 

Installation Code for USA 

National Fuel Gas Code, Z223.1

 

Standard on 

Aircraft Hangars, ANSI/NFPA 409

 

Standard for 

Parking Structures, ANSI/NFPA 88A

 

Standard for 

Repair Garages, ANSI/NFPA88B

   

Safety First: Ensure that all practices of the Construction Safety Association and 
O.S.H.A. as well as practical common sense are continuously in use. 

2.1 Receiving and Storing 

1.  INSPECT the duct furnace carefully upon arrival for any shipping damage.  If damaged, 

sign the carrier’s bill of lading with a notation “Damaged During Shipment” or ”Received 
Damaged.” 

2.  Check the packing slip against all items received.  If any items are missing, sign the 

carrier’s bill of lading with the notation “Shipment Received Less Item …….” 

3.  When unloading the duct furnace follow the 2.2 Handling and Suspension section 

following. 

4.  All control components and accessories that are shipped separately for field installation 

should be stored in a locked storage area. 

5.  If the duct furnace and/or its accessories cannot be installed immediately, it should be 

stored in a dry and clean area.  If this is not possible and the duct furnace must be 
stored outside, it should be protected from the weather with tarpaulins or plastic 
coverings. 

2.2 Lifting and Handling  

1. Before the duct furnace is placed in its installed location, check that the hoisting 

equipment and permanent supports are adequate for the weight as indicated on the 
General Arrangement Drawing plus a weight allowance for servicemen and equipment.
