A. APPLICANCE SPECIFICATIONS
TYPICAL VERTICAL INSTALLATION
We strongly recommend that you DO NOT install B-
Vent Gas Appliances in strong negative air locations,
such as a basement or a public facility. Living rooms
with cathedral ceilings could be susceptible to a
negative air situation, but such installations can be
overcome through raising the termination, depend-
ing on specific installations. This appliance uses
room air for normal operation and could have prob-
lems establishing a positive draft in a negative air
location. In lieu, we recommend a Direct Vent Gas
Appliance.
