SECTION 2: INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY

The installer is responsible for the following:

• To install the heater, as well as the gas and 

electrical supplies, in accordance with applicable 

specifications and codes. Weather-Rite LLC 

recommends the installer contact a Local 

Building Inspector or Fire Marshal for guidance.

• To use the information given in a layout drawing 

and in the manual together with the cited codes 

and regulations to perform the installation.

• To install the heater in accordance with the 

clearances to combustibles.

• To furnish all needed materials not supplied as 

standard equipment.

• To plan location of supports, vents and air 

intakes.

• To provide access for servicing.

• To provide the owner with a copy of this 

Installation, Operation and Service Manual.

• To never use heater as support for a ladder or 

other access equipment and never hang or 

suspend anything from heater.

• To ensure there is adequate air circulation 

around the heater and to supply air for 

combustion, ventilation and distribution in 

accordance with local codes.

• To ensure the heater is placed in an approved 

application.

2.1 Wall Tag

A laminated wall tag is included with the heater as a 

permanent reminder of the safety instructions and 

the importance of the required clearances to 

combustibles. Affix the tag by peeling off the backing 

of the adhesive strips on the rear surface and 

position the tag on a wall near the heater.

A copy of the wall tag (P/N 91040035) is illustrated 

on the back cover.

Know your model number and installed 

configuration. Model number and installed 

configuration are found on the heater serial plate 

and throughout the Installation, Operation and 

Service Manual. 

2.2 Corrosive Chemicals

Weather-Rite LLC cannot be responsible for 

ensuring that all appropriate safety measures are 

undertaken prior to installation; this is entirely the 

responsibility of the installer. It is essential that the 

contractor, the sub-contractor, or the owner 

identifies the presence of combustible materials, 

corrosive chemicals or halogenated hydrocarbons* 

anywhere in the premises.

* Halogenated Hydrocarbons are a family of chemical 

compounds characterized by the presence of halogen ele-

ments (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, etc.). These compounds are 

frequently used in refrigerants, cleaning agents, solvents, etc. If 

these compounds enter the air supply of the burner, the life 

span of the heater components will be greatly reduced. An out-

side air supply must be provided to the burners whenever the 

presence of these compounds is suspected. Warranty will be 

invalid if the heater is exposed to halogenated hydrocarbons.

2.3 National Standards and Applicable Codes

All equipment must be installed in accordance with 

the latest revision of the applicable standards and 

national codes. This refers also to the electric, gas 

and venting installation. Note: Additional standards 

for installations in public garages, aircraft hangars, 

etc. may be applicable. See Page 9, Section 5.

CAUTION

Product Damage Hazard

Do not use heater in area containing 

corrosive chemicals.

Refer to appropriate Material Safety Data 

Sheets (MSDS).

Failure to follow these instructions can result 

in product damage.
