for outdoor installations. In special circumstances an
outdoor vent cap may be required. Check the part
number on the rating plate.
The VW, PW heaters are design certified for
indoor installation when equipped with a special
drafthood, which must be installed without
modification. The part number for the drafthood is on
the heater rating plate. Follow this procedure to make
the conversion:
1.
Remove the top plate, stamped "HOT", by
slipping a fine-blade screwdriver into the slot and
prying it up (see Figure 2).
2.
Remove the top by removing all eight screws
connecting it to the jacket (see Figure 3).
3.
Remove the rainguard assembly (see Figure 4).
4.
Remove the two screws securing the left
vestibule cover (see Figure 5). The cover can be
discarded.
5.
Remove the vent cap or drafthood and
accessories from the carton.
6.
Place transition plate (with 14" long side)
securely on top of flue collector so flue gases will
not leak (see Figure 6).
7.
Remove back portion of rainguard (see Figure 7).
8.
Re-install the rainguard (see Figure 8).
9.
Replace heater top and all eight screws (see
Figure 9).
10.
Slide the adapter plate up over the bottom of the
stack extension. Fit the stack extension, of the
drafthood or the vent cap, on top of the collar of
the flue transition plate (see Figures 10 and 11).
11.
Seat the adapter plate on the top assembly, and
secure it with screws supplied in the kit (see
Figure 12).
12.
Attach the clips to the adapter plate by securing
the slotted side of the clips with the screws in the
kit (see Figure 13).
13.
Use the holes in the clips as guides to drill three
1/8" dia. holes in the stack.
14.
Secure the stack to the clips with the screws
supplied in the kit (see Figure 13).
15.
Figure 14 shows a cross-section of the finished
installation.
16.

cable (included with product). The cable connects
the blocked vent safety switch (BVSS) on the
bell of the external draft hood to the 6-position
Molex plug on the side of the unit (see Figure
15). Refer to instruction sheet included with
cable.
