UHD[X][S][R] heaters have automatic ignition 
burners for ON/OFF operation only.
3.2 Manufactured Units
Gas-fired, power-vented duct furnace with tubular 
heat exchanger. Units shall have a minimum of 82% 
thermal efficiency. The standard unit shall consist of 
a non-separated combustion design with an 
aluminized heat exchanger. Design and heat 
exchanger alternatives shall be offered as follows:
•  Separated Combustion: A separated 
combustion unit shall feature an enclosed, 
sealed burner box. A piece of flexible air duct 
connects this burner box to a flange on the 
cabinet. Combustion air should be ducted from 
outside the heated space, with the ductwork 
connecting to the unit with the use of the flange.
