CHAPTER 3
INSTALLATION
3.1 OVERVIEW
Installation of the HURRICANE heater is best done with some mechanical aptitude and electrical
knowledge. It is a central hot water heating system, similar to what you might have in
your home. Critical factors include sizing of the circulating pump, routing of the water
lines, purging of water and fuel lines and installation of the electronic control box,
among others. See fig. 2-2, page 2-8 for a typical installation.
A properly designed and installed system is essential to ensure that the customers receive
satisfactory results, and a warm, comfortable environment. The following is a basic guideline to
the entire heating system and will vary with every application.
ITR can only guarantee the HURRICANE heater if the entire system has been sized and installed
by our approved dealers, or alternatively, if ITR or the dealer reviews and approves the system
design both prior to and after the installation.
Systems installed without dealer approvals will be limited to a 90 day or 250 hours of operation
warranty. See Chapter 7 for warranty details before installing your system.
3.2
MOUNTING THE HEATER
The heater’s physical size allows it to be mounted in a very small area that may be difficult or nearly
impossible to access. For normal servicing, access to the front, left side, and top must be provided. The
HURRICANE heater can also be ordered with bottom connections and/or front/right side access.
Choose a sturdy side wall or a mounting location that will not be affected by the heavy jarring and
movement experienced by a boat in rough seas or a vehicle on rough roads.
You must consider the weight of the heater (full of water) when selecting a mounting location and
mounting equipment. Keep in mind the exhaust run from the heater which may limit the mounting
location. Ensure that the exhaust tubing can be properly and safely routed to the outside.
The heater comes with rubber mounting grommets installed, two installed in the bottom of the
component enclosure box and one or two in separate brackets with self adhesive rubber standoffs. A
screw or bolt with a washer (not included) must be used through the center of the grommet to secure
the heater in place.
If the heater is going to be mounted in the engine compartment, check for adequate ventilation. When
the engine is running, this area could be under a negative pressure. Make sure the air intake and
exhaust hoses have no leaks and are well fastened to the heater, muffler, and thru-hull fitting. Assembly
parts that may cause injury through accidental contact should be protected.
