2.2 Corrosive Chemicals
Weather-Rite LLC cannot be responsible for ens u ring
that all appropriate safety meas u res are u ndertaken
prior to installation; this is entirely the responsibility of
the installer. It is essential that the contractor, the
s
u b-contractor, or the o w ner identifies the presence
of comb u stible materials, corrosi v e chemicals or
halogenated hydrocarbons* any w here in the
premises.
* Halogena t e d Hy d rocarbons are a family of chemical
compounds characterized by the presence of halogen elements
(fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are
frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If
these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life span
of the air handler components will be greatly reduced. The loca-
tion of the outside air supply must be carefully chosen to supply
outside air, free of these compounds, to the burners whenever
the presence of these compounds is suspect. Warranty will be
invalid if the air handler is exposed to halogenated hydrocar-
bons.
