OUTDOOR HEATER INSTALLATION

These heaters are design-certified for outdoor installation, when equipped with the approved tops designated for

outdoor use.

WARNING: 

The heater shall not be located in an area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause

water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater.  This could cause internal rusting or damage

electrical components, and void the warranty.

WARNING:

Do not install within 3 feet of a heat pump or an outdoor condensing unit.  Strong air intake from

this type of equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury.

CLEARANCES

ALL HEATERS

For  clearances  from  combustible  surfaces,  see  the

chart below.

CLEARANCE FROM

OUTDOOR INSTALLATION - REAR EXHAUST

Top* - Unobstructed

Floor - 0”                        Right Side - 8” 

Back - 12”                      Left Side - 8”

*Clearance from top of vent terminal when using top

vent. When using the rear vent, top clearance is

reduced to 1”..

**Do not install on carpeting.

When installed according to the listed minimum clear-

ances from combustible construction, the pool heater

can  still  be  serviced  without  removing  permanent

construction around the heater.

However, 

for  ease  of  servicing,  Raypak  recom-

mends a clearance of at least 24” in the front, at

least 18" on the water connection side and 12” on

top

.  This will enable the heater to be serviced in its

installed  location,  that  is,  without  movement  or

removal of the heater.

Clearances  to  combustible  surfaces  can  be  reduced

per Table 10.2.3 of the National Fuel Gas Code.

The  heater  must  be  installed  in  a  manner  that  will

enable the heater to be serviced without removing any

structure around the heater.

FLOORING:

This  heater  can  be  installed  on  com-

bustible flooring. Do not install on carpet.
