only slightly warmer than the inlet. It should not be hot. WARNING: Should overheating occur or the gas sup- ply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance. VISUAL INSPECTION With the heater on, remove the door and make a visual check of the pilot and burner. The flame should be blue with a well-defined pattern. 5 SECTION 2 / CAUTION Elevated water temperature can be hazardous, and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends the following guidelines: 1. Spa or hot tub water temperatures should never exceed 104°F (40°C). A temperature of 10 ...

Flame pattern on the main burner and pilot is indicated in the previous illustration. Yellow flame means restriction of the air openings. Lifting or blowing flame indicates high gas pressure. Low flame means low gas pressure. Should this occur, shut the heater off and contact your gas supplier or qualified service agency. 5. On indoor heaters, clean room intake openings to assure adequate flow of combustion and ventilation air. CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater and void the warranty. 6. Keep area around heater clear and free from c ...

SECTION 1 / RECEIVING EQUIPMENT On receipt of your equipment it is suggested that you visually check for external damage to the carton. If the carton is damaged, a note should be made on the Bill of Lading when signing for equipment. Remove the heater from the carton and if it is damaged, report the damage to the carrier immediately. On occasion, we ship some items loose. Be sure that you receive the number of packages indicated on the Bill of Lading. When ordering parts, you must specify model and serial number of heater. When ordering under warranty conditions, you must also specify date of installation. ...

chart below. Clearances from Combustible construction. Indoor Installation: Top* (Drafthood) - 35"; Vent - 6"; Back - 2"; Right Side - 6"; Left Side - 6"; Floor - 0. Outdoor Installation: Top* (Stackless Top) - unobstructed; Back - 2"; Sides - 6". * Clearance from Top of Vent Terminal For servicing, provide at least 24" in front of the heater for burner tray removal, and at least 18" on the left side of the heater to inspect and delime the heat exchanger. OUTDOOR HEATERS These heaters are design certified for outdoor installation, when equipped with the approved top des- ignated for outdoor u ...

In areas where high winds are frequent, it may be necessary to locate the heater a minimum of 3' from high vertical walls, or install a wind break so the heater is not in direct wind current. INDOOR HEATERS The design is also certified for indoor installation when equipped with the approved draft hood. For Canada, indoor installation is restricted to an enclosure that is not occupied and does not directly communicate with occupied area. Refer to the latest edition of CAN/ CGA-B149.1 and B149.2 for specific requirements.Locate heater as close as practical to a chimney or gas vent. Heater must always be vent ...

must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. Vent piping the same size or larger than the draft hood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least ten (10) feet (draft hood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as specified in Chapter 10 of the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223. (Canada-CAN/CGA- B149.1 and B149.2). As much as possible avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows. If instal ...

Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve located outside the heater jacket. All gas piping should be tested after installation in accordance with local codes. CAUTION: The heater and its manual shut off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 KPA). Dissipate test pressure in the gas supply line before reconnecting the heater and its manual shut off valve to gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS VALVE. OVER PRES- SURED GAS VALVES ARE NOT COVERED B ...

LOCATION The VERSA heater requires water flow and posi- tive pressure to fire and operate properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of the filter pump. A typical installation is plumbed as follows: 1. The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the discharge side of the filter pump: 2. The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the inlet of the heater; and 3. The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return line to the spa. The pump, filter and heater are thus plumbed in series. Plumbing from the heater back to the spa must not have any valves or restriction that could ...

from the valve. No shut-off valve shall be installed between the relief valve and the drain line. Valve lever should be tripped at least once a year to ensure that waterways are clear. ELECTRICAL WIRING NOTE: If it is necessary to replace any of the original wiring, it must be replaced with 105 °C wire or its equivalent, except all black wire must be replaced with 150 °C wire or its equivalent. MILLIVOLT SYSTEM The Millivolt System Residential Heater is equipped with a self-generating electrical system in which the electric current is provided by means of a pilot generator. No external electrical ...
