SECTION 3. INSTALLATION
Venting:
Locate the pool/spa heater as close as practical to a chimney
or gas vent. See Figures 16,17 and 18. Do not alter back draft
diverter (DHI) in any way. Install draft diverter (DHI) on top of
heater.
Vent material should be of blued steel or galvanized steel
with double wall construction when passing through walls or a
ceiling. Vent size diameters for the H-Series heaters are as per
Figure 19.
The discharge opening of the vent must be at least three
feet above the roof surface and at least two feet higher than any
portion of a building within ten feet horizontally. The vent stack
shall be at least ve feet in height above the drafthood outlet.
The vent cap location shall have a minimum clearance of 4 feet
horizontally from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and
relief openings.
The weight of the vent or chimney must not rest on the heater
drafthood. Support must be provided in accordance with the ap-
plicable codes. The DHI drafthood must be easily removable for
maintenance and inspection. The vent pipe must be supported
to maintain proper clearances from combustibles.
Venting extending above the roof by more than ve feet
should be guyed or braced above or below the roof to protect
the vent from wind and/or snow damage.
