2.2 HEATER MOUNTING
The sportSchwank Series heater is approved for both horizontal and angle mounting.
When angle mounting, the short axis may be rotated to a maximum of 30°. Refer to
FIGURE 3. Improper angle mounting can result in damage to the heater and unsafe or
uncertain operation, and will void warranty.
IMPORTANT: For either horizontal or angle mounting, the long axis of the heater must
be level. Use only non-combustible mounting hardware. FIGURE 2 on Page 5 illus-
trates typical suspension hardware that may be used.
Maintain adequate clearance around air openings into the combustion chamber, clear-
ances from combustible material, provision for accessibility, and for combustion and
ventilating air supply.

2.3 GAS SUPPLY LINE INSTALLATION
All piping must be installed according to local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54 in the USA, or in
Canada the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, or the Pro-
pane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2..
A drip-pocket at the inlet connection must be provided.
Piping joint compounds must be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
Ensure gas pipe is sized to meet the capacity requirements of all heaters in the sys-
tem, and the supply pressure requirements outlined in Section 2.5 below.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY GAS PIPING IN HEAT ZONES
2.4 PRESSURE AND GAS LEAK TESTING
Test the gas supply piping system for leaks:
Test piping joints for leaks with a soap and water solution
Test piping system for leaks using gas meter / pressure gage test.
