General

Appliance Categories

Heaters are divided into four categories based on the

pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of

condensate production in the vent.

Category I – A heater which operates with a non-pos-

itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas

temperature that avoids excessive condensate pro-

duction in the vent.

Category II – A heater which operates with a non-pos-

itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas

temperature that may cause excessive condensate

production in the vent.

Category III – A heater which operates with a positive

vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that

avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.

Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive

vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that

may cause excessive condensate production in the

vent.

See Table K for appliance category requirements.

HIGH VOLTAGE

WIRING

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection

when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause im-

proper and dangerous operation. Verify proper

operation after servicing.

Fig. 21: High Voltage Wiring Location

DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD

CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is

critical for the safe and efficient operation of the

heater.

NOTE: For additional information on appliance

categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard

and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or

applicable provisions of local building codes.

WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent

material if there is any question about the appliance

categorization and suitability of a vent material for

application on a Category III or IV vent system.

Using improper venting materials can result in

personal injury, death or property damage.

NOTE: A grounding electrode conductor shall be

used to connect the equipment grounding

conductors, the equipment enclosures, and the

grounded service conductor to the grounding

electrode.

Make sure electrical power to the heater is discon-

nected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to

components.

FOR OPTIONAL

COMPONENTS

CAUTION: Condensate drains for the vent piping

are required for installations of the MVB. Follow vent

manufacturer instructions for installation and location

of condensate drains in the vent. Condensate drain

must be primed with water to prevent gas flue leak

and must be routed to an appropriate container for

neutralization before disposal, as required by local

codes.
