In addition to the previously detailed installation

and the floor of the home.
• The heater must be electrically grounded to the
steel chassis of the mobile home with 8 GA copper
wire using a serrated or star washer to penetrate
paint or protective coating to ensure grounding.

OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY (OPTIONAL, UNLESS INSTALLING IN A MOBILE HOME)
Adequate ventilation air is required to operate this heater. During operation, the heater draws air for combustion
which can be assisted by the installation of outside combustion air inlets. However, certain weather conditions
such as icing or use of kitchen exhaust fans may impact and reduce the effectiveness of vents. It is important to
note that room air starvation will negatively impact the operation of the heater.
Depending on your location and home construction, outside air may be necessary for optimal performance.
Metal pipe (solid or flexible) must be used for the outside air installation. PVC pipe is NOT approved and should
NEVER be used. A wind shield over the termination of the outside air pipe or a 90-degree elbow or bend away
from the prevailing winds MUST be used when an outside air pipe is installed through the side of a building. The
outside air termination MUST be at least 1ft (0.305m) away from the exhaust system termination.
The outside air pipe on your heater is 2” (50.8mm) OD. The outside air connecting pipe must be at least 2”
(50.8mm) ID. The outside air connection used MUST NOT restrict the amount of air available to your heater. The
outside air connecting pipe must be as short and free of bends as possible, and it must fit over, not inside, the
outside air connection to the heater.
