3.3
Indoor and Outdoor Shelter Installation
Due to the higher risks and hazards of liquid propane
(LP) gas, Zodiac
®
does not encourage installation of LP
gas heaters indoors. Please be sure to refer to
Section
4.4
.
The heater is CSA design-certifi ed for indoor installations
in the US and for outdoor shelter installations in Canada.
Please keep in mind the service and combustible
surface clearances from
Section
3.1
when selecting
an installation location. You will also need to make
considerations for intake combustion air see
Section
3.3.1
and exhaust venting see
Section
3.3.2
. In addition,
when pool equipment is installed indoors, appropriate
containment measures and drains should be considered
for the prevention of property damage in the event of an
equipment leak.
NOTE: An outdoor shelter is an unoccupied enclosure which does
not communicate directly with occupied areas.
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., does not recommend US outdoor
shelter installations that depend on internal air for combustion.

In Canada the
installation must
be in accordance
with the latest edition
of CAN/CSA B149.1.
All outdoor
shelter and
indoor
installations
must have
uninterrupted
openings to
outside air for
combustion and
ventilation. Do
not, under any
circumstances,
install this
product in an
indoor location
which does not
provide
combustion air
to the appliance
from outside
the building.
For garage installation, heater base must be 18 in (46 cm) above the floor.

As outlined in the latest edition of ANSI
®
standard Z223.1 (NFPA
®
54), the heater
location must be properly vented to provide
suffi cient air supply for proper combustion.
When combustion air is supplied directly
through an outside wall, each opening
should have a minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 4,000 BTU/h (1.2 kW) input of
the total input rating of all appliances in
the enclosed area. If combustion air must
pass through horizontal ducts, each opening
should have a minimum free area of 1 square
inch per 2,000 BTU/h (1.2 kW) input of
the total input rating of all appliances in
the enclosed area. Details can be found in
Figure 4.
The “Minimum Net Free Open Area”
information from
Figure 4
is not applicable
in installations where exhaust fans
or blowers of any type are used. Any
equipment which exhausts air from the room
where the heater is installed can deplete the
combustion air supply or reverse the natural
draft action of the venting system. This
could cause fl ue products to accumulate in
the room. Additional air must be supplied
to compensate for such exhaust. Consult
a professional engineer to ensure that
installations where exhaust fans or blowers
are used are designed and installed in
accordance with all applicable local and
national installation codes.
In addition, the heater must be completely
isolated and protected from any source
of corrosive chemical fumes or corrosive
vapors (i.e chlorine or hydrochloric acid).
WARNING
Do not store any chemicals, cleaners, or other
corrosive material near combustion air openings
or in the room. Avoid locating appliance vents in
the vicinity of combustion air openings. Failure
to prevent corrosive materials from mixing with
combustion air can result in reduced heater life
and unsafe heater operation.
