INDOOR VENTING — General Requirements
The heater may be installed as a Category I or Category III appliance.
Vented Appliance (Category I) –

An appliance that operates with a nonpositive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive
condensate production in the vent, see pages 20-23 .
Vented Appliance (Category III) –
Vertical or Horizontal
An appliance that operates with a positive vent static pressure and with a vent gas temperature that avoids excessive
condensate production in the vent, see pages 24-26 .
If you are considering connecting this heater to a pre-existing vent system, make sure that the vent system meets the
appropriate venting requirements as given in this manual on
pages 18-28 . If not, replace the vent system. DO NOT use
a draft hood with this heater.
The MasterTemp heaters are capable of a 270-degree discharge rotation and operate with a positive vent static pressure
and with a vent gas temperature less than 400° F (204° C). The total length of the horizontal run must not exceed the length

HEATER CLEARANCES — General Requirements
INDOOR INSTALLATION (U.S.) OR OUTDOOR SHELTER (CANADA)
The following clearances must be maintained from combustible surfaces:
TOP .............................. 6 in. (15 cm)
EXHAUST SIDE .......... 6 in. (15 cm)
HEADER SIDE ............ 6 in. (15 cm)
DOOR PANELS† ........ 6 in. (15 cm)
Note (†) For service access it is advisable to allow for sufficient clearance
on at least one door panel. The heater is design certified by CSA
International for installation on combustible flooring. For installation on
carpeting, the heater must be mounted on a metal or wood panel that
extends at least three inches (10cm) beyond the base of the heater. If the
heater is installed in a closet or alcove, the entire floor shall be covered by
the panel. On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges into a
vent pipe. Orient the heater so that the vent pipe does not interfere with
adjustment of the operating controls. The control panel located on the top
panel can be rotated to any of the three sides of the heater for easy
access. However, the control panel must not be located on the side where
the vent is located.
OUTSIDE VENT COVER REMOVAL
The heater is supplied from the factory with a built-in stackless outside vent for outdoor installation. Remove the outside
vent cover for outdoor shelter installation.
