Non-Ducted Return Installations:
•
Installation in a closet, an alcove, or a utility room without a
return duct requires the use of a plenum accessory kit as it uses
the area space as a return air plenum. Minimum clearances to
combustible materials and service access must be observed (see
outline drawing).
•
This area may also be used for other purposes, including an
electric hot water heater, but in no case shall a fossil fuel device be
installed and/or operated in the same closet, alcove, or utility
room.
•
Review local codes to determine limitations if the unit is installed
without a return air duct.
