and 14” w.c. for Sizes 175-200. For propane gas, the inlet pressure must
be between 11” and 14” w.c. Take this reading as close as possible to the
heater (Heaters are equipped with gas valves that have an inlet pressure
tap.) If the inlet pressure is not within the specified range, the inlet pressure
must be corrected and Steps 3 and 4 repeated.
6. Find the High Altitude Adjustment label in the plastic bag that contained
these instructions. Using a permanent marker, fill-in the appropriate infor-
mation from the tables below. Select a position for the label on the rear of
the burner/control box adjacent to the rating plate. Be sure the surface is
clean and dry and adhere the label.

6.4 Venting and
Combustion Air
Venting must be in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/
ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) or CAN/CSA B149.1 (latest edition), and all local
codes.
The ANSI standard applicable to this heater does not require venting catego-
rization. If such a requirement existed, this heater would be in Category III.
(Category III appliances have a positive-pressure vent requiring a gas tight
sealed vent system.) These tubular infrared heaters have been designed to
operate safely and efficiently with vent pipe lengths shown in the Vent Length
Table below. Vent systems may either be vertical or horizontal. The type of vent
required depends on the size of heater and the vent run configuration.

Vent terminal end may be either single-wall pipe or double-wall pipe. A vent

an Optional Dual Vent Kit (Option CC5). Comply with the specific requirements
and instructions in the following paragraphs.
1. Vent Pipe Length - The vent lengths shown in the Vent Length Table are
based on (1) the maximum permissible resistance to flow at which each model
size will operate and (2) the potential for continuous condensing. Condensing
in the vent pipe should not occur after equilibrium has been reached when the
