Equipment Base
The heater should be mounted on a level, structurally
sound surface. The heater is approved for installation
on a combustible surface but must NEVER be
installed on carpeting. Gas-fueled equipment installed
in enclosed parking garages must be located at least
18 in. above the floor.
In addition, the heater shall be installed such that the
gas ignition system components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance
operation or service (circulator replacement, control
replacement, etc.).
If the heater needs to be secured to the ground, use
the hole pattern shown in Fig. 5, following local codes.
Additional clearance may be required when using the
factory anchor bracket.
