Installation and Operation Manual
If the heater is to be installed in a garage, or sim-
ilar structure, all burners and burner ignition devices
must have a minimum 18 inches (457mm) clearance
above the floor.
This heater must be installed at least 5 feet
(1.52m) from the inside wall of a pool unless the
heater is separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall
or other permanent solid barrier.
Ce chauffe-piscine doit être installé au moins 5
pieds (1.52m) de la paroi interne de la piscine à moins
d'être isolé de la piscine par une clôture, un mur ou
autre barrière permanente.
2.3.3 Flooring
The heater must be installed on a
level
surface
of noncombustible construction or on fire-resistant
slabs or arches. Noncombustible flooring is defined
as flooring material and surface finish not capable of
being ignited and burning and with no combustible
materials against the underside. Acceptable materials
are those consisting entirely of a combination of steel,
iron, brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plaster.
Do not
install the heater directly on a combustible wood or
carpet floor without placing a noncombustible platform
between the floor and the heater.
The heater can be installed on a combustible
floor if a noncombustible base assembly, available
from Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., is used. See the heater
rating plate or the Parts List (
Section 11
) in this manual
for the appropriate base part number.
Heaters must
never be installed directly on carpeting.
As an alternative to the Zodiac noncombustible
base plate, in the United States, the National Fuel Gas
Code
®
(NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1), and in Canada, the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/
CSA-B149.1), allow a heater to be placed on a com-
bustible surface when there is a platform under the
heater made of hollow masonry no less than four (4)
inches (102 millimeters [mm]) thick, covered with
sheet metal at least 24 gauge thick and extending be-
yond the full width and depth of the heater by at least
six (6) inches (153 mm) in all directions. The masonry
must be laid with ends unsealed, and joints matched to
provide free circulation of air from side to side through
the masonry, see Figure 2. If the heater is installed in a
carpeted alcove, the entire floor of the alcove must be
covered by a noncombustible panel.
2.3.4 Outdoor Installation
The LXi heater can be installed in the outdoor
configuration as received from the factory.
Locate the heater in an
open, unroofed area
. Do
not install the heater under a deck. Do not locate the
heater below or adjacent to any doors, glass openings,
louvers, grills, etc., which connect in any way with an
inhabited area of a building, even though the access
might be through another structure (e.g., a garage or
utility room). In the United States the vent system shall
terminate at least four (4) ft (1.2 m) below, four (4) ft
Table 2. Minimum Heater Clearances From Combustible Surfaces
NOTE
Clearances listed in Table 2 are
manufacturer's tested values.
These are given as minimum
values. Where local and national
codes apply, and values are
different than those listed in
Table 2, use the greater value to
ensure safe operation.

Notes:
1. Blocks must provide a solid base and be braced so they
cannot slip out of place.
2. Air openings in blocks must be arranged to provide unre-
stricted opening through entire width or length of base.
3. Sheet metal must be at least 24 ga. and extend 6" beyond
the heater jacket on all sides.
