1.  Pick a location on a wall with a clear space of 36" (91.4cm) 

high by 43" (109cm) wide in the room. In selecting a location 
for installation, it is necessary to provide adequate accessibility 
clearances for servicing and proper installation.  Be sure to locate 
the unit close enough to a 115 VAC wall receptacle to properly 
power appliance.

2.  Unit is supported by a wall bracket secured to the wall.
3.  When facing the front of the furnace the minimum clearances 

from casing to combustible construction are 10" (254mm) on 
top, 3" (76mm) on each side, recommend 18" (457mm) on right 
side for servicing and 0" (0mm) from the floor  and 0" (0mm) 
to rear wall.

4.  The minimum distance from the center of the vent cap to the 

nearest outside corner or obstruction is 12" (305mm).

5.  The minimum wall depth is 2" (51mm) and the maximum is 

10"(254mm) [or 32"(813mm) using the extended vent terminal 
kit  accessory].    The  use  of  vent  tubes  not  supplied  by  the 
manufacturer may result in unsatisfactory performance.

The  vent  terminal  of  a  direct  vent  appliance,  with  an  input  of 

50,000 BTU (14.6KW) per hour or more shall be located at least 
12" (305mm) from any opening through which flue gases could 
enter a building.

The bottom of the exhaust vent terminal and the air intake shall 
be located at least 12" (305mm) above grade and must be vented 
outside.

WARNING:  The nearest point of the vent cap should be 
a minimum horizontal distant of six (6) feet (1.83m) from 
any pressure regulator.  In case of regulator malfunction, 
the six (6) feet (1.83m) distance will reduce the chance of 
gas entering the vent cap. 

Installation on Rugs and Tile

If this appliance is to be installed directly on carpeting, tile, or other 
combustible material, other than wood flooring, the appliance shall 
be installed on a metal or wood panel extending the full width and 
depth of the appliance.

The base referred to above does not mean the fire-proof base as 
used on wood stoves. The protection is primarily for rugs that may 
be extremely thick and light-color tile that can discolo

r.

Locating Wall Opening (Figures 2, 3 and 4)

This furnace must be installed on an outside wall.   Locate wall 
studs so that wall vent opening will be located between wall studs.  
The wall studs can be used for attachment of wall mounting bracket.  
The wall opening required for venting is a 3 1/4" (83mm) diameter 
opening.

Refer to Figures 2 and 3 for positioning the furnace on wall and 
for locating gas line connection and vent opening.  Furnace can 
sit on the floor and should be secured to the wall through the wall 
bracket secured to the rear top shroud.
