 375-D Hydronic Heating System Installation Manual  Rev. A

section 3:  Hydronic Heating system

Location and Clearances:

•   Place the heat exchangers so that even heat distribution 

will be felt throughout the interior of the motorhome.  

Reference Figures 14 and 17.

NOTE:

 For single slide-out configurations, it is usually simplest 

to place a heat exchanger on the opposite side of  the 

motorhome pointing towards the slide-out.

   Place the heat exchangers where they will be accessible 

for potential servicing and cleaning.

•  

Centralize and position a heat exchanger in the fresh 

water storage tank plumbing bay.  Reference Figure 12.

NOTE: 

In order to achieve the best heating results, place the 

heat exchanger as close to the floor of the plumbing 

bay as possible (heat will naturally rise).

•  

Reference Figures 12, 13, and 14 for mounting location 

information.

  Reference Figure 13 for clearance information.

NOTE:

 An accessory device is available for the Cozy Heat Ex-

changer for the purpose of  redirecting the airflow from 

the heat exchanger.  Reference Figure 16.

Mounting Requirements:

•  

Sufficient ventilation (return-air) must be supplied to 

each interior heat exchanger.  Reference Figures 14 and 

15.

NOTE:

 Mounting the heat exchangers without sufficient venti

-

lation will severely reduce their overall heating perfor-

mance (heat output).

 

  In order to provide sufficient ventilation, the return-

air registers must be the same size, or larger, than the 

outlet-air registers.

 

  Return-air must be supplied from the corresponding 

interior heating zones.
