CLEARANCES ALL HEATERS For clearances from combustible surfaces, see the chart below. CLEARANCE FROM COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION INDOOR INSTALLATIONS: Top* - 30" (Drafthood) Back - 6" Front - Alcove (Open) Right Side - 12" (Water Side) Vent - 6" Left Side - 6" Floor** - 0" (Opposite Water Side) OUTDOOR INSTALLATION: Top* - Unobstructed (Outdoor Stack) Top*** - 36" (Stackless Top) Floor - 0" Right Side - 12" (Water Side) Back - 6" Left Side - 6" (Opposite Water Side) *Clearance from top of vent terminal. **Do not install on carpeting. ***Clearance from top of heater. When installed according to the listed minimum clearances from combustible construction, the pool heater can still be serviced without removing permanent construction around the heater. However for ease of servicing, we recommend a clearance of at least 24" in the front, and at least 18" on the water connection side. This will enable the heater to be serviced in its installed location, that is, without movement or removal of the heater. Clearances less than these (6" minimum), may require removal of the heater to service either the heat exchanger or the burner tray. In either case, the heater must be installed in a manner that will enable the heater to be serviced without removing any structure around the heater. FLOORING: This heater can be installed on combustible flooring. OUTDOOR HEATER INSTALLATION These heaters are design-certified for outdoor installation, when equipped with the approved tops designated for outdoor use. WARNING: The heater shall not be located in an area where water sprinklers, or other devices, may cause water to spray through the cabinet louvers and into the heater. This could cause internal rusting or damage electrical components, and void the warranty. WARNING: Do not install within 3 feet of a heat pump or an outdoor condensing unit. Strong air intake from this type of equipment can disturb the combustion process and cause damage or personal injury. HEATER WITH OUTDOOR STACKLESS TOP Pagoda Top Installation Pagoda Top 1.
