12. Provide adequate ventilation of the space occu-
pied by the heater(s) by an opening(s) for
ventilation air at the highest practical point com-
municating with the outdoors. The total
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.

area per 20,000 BTUH (111 mm

input rating of all equipment in the room when the
opening is communicating directly with the out-
doors or through vertical duct(s). The total
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.

input rating of all equipment in the room when the
opening is communicating with the outdoors
through horizontal duct(s).
13. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-
up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of
a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circula-
tion of cold air through the heater during the
non-operating hours.
TruSeal™ Combustion Air
In addition to the 13 previous steps, combustion air
may be ducted directly to the heater by using PVC,
CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanized ducting. The
duct will attach directly to the field installed air collar
located on the rear of the heater, using three or four
sheet metal screws (not supplied) equally positioned
around the circumference of the duct. The screws and
duct connection point should be sealed with RTV (not
supplied). TruSeal is generally used when damaging
contaminants are present in the mechanical room. All
ducting must be self-supported.

CAUTION:
Use TruSeal combustion air if
damaging airborne contaminants are or may be
present in the heater area. See the Appendix of this
manual regarding air contamination.
