horizontally from, or 1 ft (300 mm) above any door,
operable window, or gravity inlet into any building. In
Canada, the heater must be installed so that the exhaust
point of the heater is at least ten (10) feet (3.0 m) from
any building opening. See Figure 3.
WARNING
United States
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent
assembly within 4 feet (1.22 m) horizontally, 4 feet
(1.22 m) below or less than 1 ft (300 mm) above of
any opening into a building.
Canada
Do not install the heater with the top of the vent as-
sembly within 10 feet (3.05 m) of any opening into a
building.
AVERTISSEMENT
Lorsque vous installez l’appareil de chauffage, as-
surez-vous que l’ouverture d’aération se trouve à un
minimum de 10 pieds (3.05 m) de toute ouverture
d’un bâtiment.
The top surface of the heater must be at least 3
feet above any forced air inlet, or intake ducts located
within 10 feet horizontally.
If the heater is installed under an overhang, there
must be a minimum clearance of 5 feet (1.5 m) above
the top of the heater and the structure should not over-
hang the heater more than 12 inches (0.30 m). The area
under the overhang must be open on three sides. This
prevents combustion gases from being diverted into
living areas through doors, windows, or gravity inlets.
Ne pas installer ce chauffe-piscine sous une
saillie mesurant moins de 3 pi de hauteur. La partie
sous la saillie doit être ouverte sur 3 côtés.
Figure 3. Outdoor Heater Installation
If the heater is installed close to a structure, pro-
tect it from rain water runoff with rain gutters on the
roof or other measures. Do not locate the heater near
irrigation sprinkler systems that could spray water on
it. Water from sprinklers may cause damage to controls
and electronic components.
Avoid locations where wind de
fl
ection off nearby
structures might cause downdraft conditions. Where
downdraft conditions exist, locate the heater at least 3
feet (0.91 m) from vertical surfaces (e.g., nearby build-
ings and walls).
In Florida, it is required that the heater be secure-
ly fastened to the equipment pad. Use a size
1/4" x 1-1/2" long stainless steel Tapcon
®
type con-
crete screws and washers at each of the four tabs
located at the base of the heater. Mounting the appli-
ance in this manner meets the applicable requirements
of the Florida Building Code.

Mounting screws are not provided with this heat-
er. After placing the heater on the equipment pad, drill
a hole in the concrete at each of the four tabs on the
feet of the heater. (The correct size drill bit is usually
provided with the concrete screws when purchased).
Place a screw in each of the holes and fasten the heater
to the equipment pad. (See Figure 4).
Do not over-
torque the screws.

2.3.5 Indoor and Outdoor Shelter
Installations
An outdoor shelter (Canada only) is an unoccu-
pied enclosure which does not communicate directly
with occupied areas. All indoor installations and
outdoor shelter installations require a factory approved
vent collar. The vent collar must be installed without
modi
fi
cation and in accordance with the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. For sidewall venting, a
side vent kit is available from your Jandy distributor.
