6.3 Non Ducted Applications
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 clear-
ances to combustible materials and service
access must be observed (see outline draw-
ing).
This area may also be used for other purpos-
•
es, 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.

result.
