Turbotemp 125 Pool and Spa Heater Installation and User’s Guide
Allow at least 1 M (3 ft) vertical
clearance over vent termination
when terminating under an overhang
or deck. Avoid corners or alcoves
where snow or wind could have an
effect. Exhaust may affect shrubbery
and some building materials. Keep
shrubbery away from termination.
To prevent staining or deterioration,
sealing or shielding exposed surfaces
may be required.
Fire Hazard.
Do not run the heater vent into a common vent with any other appliance. Do
not run the Special Gas Vent into, through, or within any active vent such as a factory built
or masonry chimney.
!
WARNING
NOTE: After installation, installer must check for correct and safe operation of the heater.
HORIZONTAL OR VERTICAL VENTING FLEXIBLE DUCT
(See Figures 26, 27 & 29)
Do NOT
combine exhaust vent pipes
to a common exhaust vent in multiple
unit installations. Run separate vent
pipes.

*Minimum vent length is 0.34M (1 ft.) or in accordance with
vent manufacturer’s instruction, and local and national
codes. Horizontal vents 1 m (3 in) or less in length do not
require a condensate tee, but must slope down toward the
outlet at 2 cm to the meter (1/4 in / ft.) to allow condensate
to drain.
** Radius minimum to be 110 mm (4.33 in) as shown in
Figure 19.
NOTE: THE ALLOWABLE VENT RUNS
FOR EACH VENT PIPE DIAMETER
ARE DIFFERENT AND CAN NOT BE
EXCEEDED.
It is recommended that vent runs over
5.4 m (18 ft) may need to be insulated to
reduce condensation related problems
and/or the use of a condensate trap in
the vent run close to the heater may be
necessary in certain installations such
as cold climates. Horizontal vents 1 m
(3 feet) or less in length do not require
a condensate tee. The Turbotemp heater
is suitable for through-the-wall venting.
See Table 9 for maximum permissible
Flexible Vent lengths.

NOTE: KEEP A 150 CM (6 IN) MINIMUM CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE
VENT PIPE AND COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES. FOLLOW THE VENT
MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS AND CODE REQUIREMENTS.
Each 90° bend reduces the maximum horizontal vent run by 3.6 m (12 feet) and each 45°
bend in the vent run reduces the maximum vent run by 1.8 m (6 feet). See Table 2 (page 21)
for the maximum vent length using one 90° bend.
NOTE
After installation, installer must check for correct and safe operation of the heater.
Corrosive Vapors and Possible Causes
(
see Table 5 on page 14).
CONTROL PANEL INDEXING
On an outdoor shelter installation, the exhaust discharges
into a vent pipe. Orient the heater so the vent pipe does not
interfere with adjustment of the operating controls. The control
panel located on the top panel can be rotated to any of the
three sides of the heater for easy access, see Figure 20.
1. Remove the bolts from the door panels. Remove both door
access panels.
2. Remove the four corner screws that secure the top panel.
Lift the top panel upward to remove the top panel.
3. Rotate the top panel to the desired position located at 90°
angles. Note that the control panel must NOT be located on
the side where the vent is located.
4. Replace the top panel down onto the side panels. Be sure
that there are no wires caught under the panel.
5. Secure the top panel using the four corner screws.
6. Reattach the door access panels.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECK
After installation, the installer MUST test and check that
the heater is operating and functioning properly.
Some building codes require that the heater be anchored to the
equipment pad or platform to withstand high wind pressures
created during hurricanes. A Bolt Down Bracket Kit, is available
with anchor clamps designed to hold the unit to the equipment
pad in high wind conditions, see Figure 21. Installation of the
anchor clamps are recommended in all installations.
