Installation instructions
Selecting inlet air restrictor
Note: Before installing the combustion air inlet
accessory, the appropriate inlet air restrictor must
be determined using Tables 6, 7 and 8.
Refer to Fig. 15 for mounting sequence.
B Determine the total length of the straight sections of
3" stainless steel exhaust and enter that length in line
1.
B Count the number of 90° elbows used and enter that
value in line 2.
B Count the number of 45° elbows used and enter that
value in line 3.
B For model GWH 345 ESR, enter a 1 in line 4 for
model GWH 450 ESR enter a 1 in line 5.
B Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the 3" intake pipe and
enter those values in the intake section.
B Add the totals from the Exhaust table and the Intake
table to determine the equivalent vent length. Use
this value in Table 6 to determine which restrictor
size to use.
Example
Exhaust
10 - 3' straight sections
1 - 1' straight section
Total length 31'
•1 - 90° elbow
1 - GWH 450 ESR termination.
Intake
5 - 4' straight sections
2 - 1' straight sections
Total length 22'
•2 - 90° elbows
1 - GWH 450 ESR termination.
Example
Using table 8, the following restrictors would be
required:
GWH 450 ESR NG - restrictor 55
GWH 450 ESR LP - restrictor 55.
