 CAUTION

DANGER OF EXPLOSION!

 DANGER

There are circumstances in which odorant used with LP/

Propane gas can lose its scent. In case of a leak, LP/

Propane gas will settle close to the floor and may be 

difficult to smell. An LP/Propane leak detector should 

be installed in all LP applications.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service 

or maintenance can cause property damage, personal 

injury or loss of life. Installation and service must be 

performed by a licensed professional installer (or 

equivalent), service agency or the gas supplier.

 WARNING

Certifications

These units are CSA International certified to ANSI Z21.47.

In the USA, installation of gas furnaces must conform with 

local building codes. In the absence of local codes, units 

must be installed according to the current National Fuel 

Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1). The National Fuel Gas Code is 

available from the following address: 

American National 

Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York, 

NY 10036.

Clearances

Adequate clearance must be made around the air openings 

into the vestibule area. In order to ensure proper unit 

operation, combustion and ventilation air supply must be 

provided according to the current National Fuel Gas Code. 

Vent installations must be consistent with the venting tables 

(in this instruction) and applicable provisions of local building 

codes.

This furnace is CSA International certified for installation 

clearances to combustible material as listed on the unit 

nameplate and in the tables in Figures 8 and 12. Accessibility 

and  service  clearances  must  take  precedence  over  fire 

protection clearances.

Installed Locations

For installation in a residential garage, the furnace must be 

installed so that the burner(s) and the ignition source are 

located no less than 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor. 

The furnace must be located or protected to avoid physical 

damage by vehicles. When a furnace is installed in a public 

garage,  hangar,  or  other  building  that  has  a  hazardous 

atmosphere, the furnace must be installed according to 

recommended good practice requirements and current 

National Fuel Gas Code.

Please refer to specification sheets for available accessories.
