SECTION 3. INSTALLATION
Equipment inspection:
On receipt of the heater equipment, inspect the heater carton
and optional DHI or HWS vent (if used) carton for damage. If
any carton is damaged, note it when signing for it. Remove the
equipment from the carton(s) and advise the carrier of any dam-
ages at once.
Important notice:
The instructions herein are intended for the use of a qualied
technician, specically trained and experienced in the installation
of this type of heating equipment. Some states or provinces re-
quire that installation and service people performing the installa-
tion be licensed. If this is the case in the state or province where
heater is located the contractor must be properly licensed.
! WARNING; Failure to comply with the appliance and
vent package Installation Instructions and service instruc-
tions In this manual may result in equipment damage, re,
asphyxiation, or carbon monoxide poisoning. Exposure to
products of incomplete combustion (carbon monoxide) can
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Conformance with codes:
The heater shall be installed in accordance with all local and
state codes. The heater installation and vent sizing, installation
and termination shall conform with the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) and with the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction. Design Certication in the United
States is in compliance with American National Standard Z21.56
(latest edition).
For Canadian installations, the heater is to be installed in
accordance with standards CAN/CGA -B149.1 and B149.2 - IN-
STALLATION CODES FOR GAS-BURNING APPLIANCES AND
EQUIPMENT and/or Local Codes, and, if applicable, Standard
CSA C22.1 - CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, Part 1.
Sea level/high altitude installation:
The H-Series heaters may be installed up to 2000 feet of
elevation above sea level. For elevations from 2000 to 4500 feet
above sea level, heater shall be a high altitude model which has
a sufx “H” in the heater model designation (Example: Model
H400H1). For elevations above 4500 feet, consult customer
service at Hayward.
Location of heater:
Locate the pool/spa heater in an area where leakage of heat
exchanger or connections will not result in damage to the area
adjacent to the heater or to the structure. When such locations
cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan,
with drain outlet, be installed under the heater. The pan must not
restrict air ow.
This heater must be installed at least ve feet from the inside
wall of a pool/spa unless separated from the pool/spa by a solid
fence, wall or other permanent solid barrier. This heater must be
installed also at least ve feet from the wall of an above-ground
pool.
Flooring:
The H-Series pool/spa heaters must be installed on a non-
combustible oor or slab. Installation on other oors may be
accomplished provided the oor under the appliance is protected
with hollow masonry not less than 4 inches thick covered with
sheet metal of not less than 24 gauge. Such masonry must be
laid with ends unsealed and joints matched in such a way as to
provide a free circulation of air from side to side through mason-
ry. The masonry must extend a minimum of 12 inches beyond
the heater to all sides. See Figure 4. In all cases, oor protection
is the responsibility of the installer and the installer must check
to be certain that the oor is not exposed to excessive heat dur-
ing extended periods of operation.
Section HI. Installation
Equipment inspection:
On receipt of the heater equipment, inspect the
heater carton and optional DHI or HWS vent (if used)
carton for damage. If any carton is damaged, note it
when signing for it. Remove the equipment from the
carton(s) and advise the carrier of any damages at
once.
Important notice:
The instructions herein are intended for the use
of a qualified technician, specifically trained and
experienced in the installation of this type of
heating equipment. Some states or provinces
require that installation and service people perform-
ing the installation be licensed. If this is the case in
the state or province where heater is located the
contractor must be properly licensed. A
WARNING; Failure to comply with the
appliance and vent package Installation
Instructions and service instructions In this
manual may result in equipment damage, fire,
asphyxiation, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Exposure to products of incomplete combus-
tion (carbon monoxide) can cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Conformance with codes:
The heater shall be installed in accordance with
all local and state codes. The heater installation and
vent sizing, installation and termination shall
conform with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1 (latest edition) and with the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction. Design Certification
in the United States is in compliance with American
National Standard Z21-56 (latest edition).
For Canadian installations, the heater is to be
installed in accordance with standards CAN/CGA -
B149.1 and B149.2 - INSTALLATION CODES FOR
GAS-BURNING APPLIANCES AND EQUIPMENT and/or
Local Codes, and, if applicable, Standard CSA C22.1 -
CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE, Part 1.
Sea level/high altitude installation:
The H-Series heaters may be installed up to
2000 feet of elevation above sea level. For eleva-
tions from 2000 to 4500 feet above sea level,
heater shall be a high altitude model which has a
suffix "H" in the heater model designation (Example:
Model H400H1). For elevations above 4500 feet,
consult customer service at Hayward.
Location of heater:
Locate the pool/spa heater in an area where
leakage of heat exchanger or connections will not
result in damage to the area adjacent to the heater
or to the structure. When such locations cannot be
avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain
pan, with drain outlet, be installed under the heater.
The pan must not restrict air flow. .
This heater must be installed at least five feet
from the inside wall of a pool/spa unless separated
from the pool/spa by a solid fence, wall or other per-
manent solid barrier. This heater must be installed
also at least five feet from the wall of an above-
ground pool.
Flooring:
The H-Series pool/spa heaters must be
installed on a non-combustible floor or slab. Installa-
tion on other floors may be accomplished provided
the floor under the appliance is protected with
hollow masonry not less than 4 inches thick covered
with sheet metal of not less than 24 gauge. Such
masonry must be laid with ends unsealed and joints
matched in such a way as to provide a free circula-
tion of air from side to side through masonry. The
masonry must extend a minimum of 12 inches
beyond the heater to all sides. See Figure 4. In all
cases, floor protection is the responsibility of the
installer and the installer must check to be certain
that the floor is not exposed to excessive heat
during extended periods of operation.
