Section 2, Mounting The WaterHeater™ by ITR
•
The WaterHeater™ by ITR must not be installed in any
compartment with flammable gases.
•
The WaterHeater™ by ITR must be mounted horizontal and
level using eight (8) x 1/4” through bolts and 1” diameter
fender washers, lock washers and nuts.
•
It is recommended that a catchpan be placed under The
WaterHeater™ by ITR for containing any unexpected
leakage.
NOTICE
If The WaterHeater™ by ITR 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.
Isolate the unit in a closed compartment so that no air from the
heater will infiltrate the living areas.
•
Choose a sturdy surface in a location that won’t be unduly
affected by vibration and the jarring of rough roads or rough
seas.
•
Mount the unit with the front panel side facing out and
accessible. Facing out simplifies installation and
maintenance.
•
Open access is required to properly service the heater.
Leave room at the front, and top of the unit.
•
Ensure that the exhaust tubing can be properly and safely
routed to the outside. The maximum exhaust run for the
system is 12’.
