Installation Notes
Shut off power and fuel supply to the heater. Remove the existing air intake panel on the heater cabinet and install the supplied panel kit. Connect the 3″ PVC union and pipe to the air inlet orifice adapter. Route the duct to the termination cap outdoors or to a ventilated space in accordance with local building and mechanical codes. Secure all connections and verify the intake path is unobstructed. Power on the heater and observe proper ignition and operation.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the termination cap and duct annually for blockage, insect ingress or debris. Ensure the union and gasket remain tight and corrosion-free. Replacing or servicing the duct system when clearance changes or building modifications occur helps maintain reliable heater operation and optimal combustion performance.
