heater. A ground joint union and a manual gas shutoff
valve should be installed ahead of the unit heater
controls to permit servicing. The manual main shutoff
valve must be located external to the jacket (see

Installation: Venting
All unit heaters must be vented!
ANSI now organizes vented appliances into four
categories.
categories.
NOTICE:
Overtightening!
Do not overtighten the inlet gas piping into the valve.
This may cause stresses that could crack the valve!

WARNING
Hazard of Explosion!
Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive
conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other
approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow
recommended safe leak test procedures could result in
death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-
damage.

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide!
Your venting system must not be blocked by any snow,
snow drifts, or any foreign matter. Inspect your venting
system to ensure adequate ventilation exists at all
times! A blocked venting system could result in carbon
monoxide poisoning. Symptoms of such condition
include grogginess, lethargy, inappropriate tiredness, or
flu-like symptoms. Failure to follow these
recommendations could result in death or serious
injury.

WARNING
Risk of Fire and Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning with Improper Piping!
Poisoning with Improper Piping!
Never use a pipe of diameter other than that specified:
•
Unit sizes 30–120: Use 4” (120 mm) flue pipe.
•
!
To prevent pipe from melting and introducing exhaust
fumes into the air supply, never use PVC, ABS or any
other non-metallic pipe for venting! To prevent fan
restriction, an elbow should never be attached directly
to the venter. Failure to follow these recommendations
could result in death or serious injury or equipment
damage.
