INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the Booster Heater is found to
be damaged after unpacking, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of
delivery.
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees with the specifications on the data
plate located on the left-front panel of the booster heater. Be sure that the type of gas supplied to the
machine (natural gas or propane) is the same as indicated on the data plate.
INSTALLATION CODES
Installation must be in accordance with state and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition) and the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). In Canada, the installation standards are: CAN/CGA B149.1,
CAN/CGA B149.2, and CSA C22.2 No.1 (latest editions).
LOCATION
Locate the IB Series Booster Water Heater so that the required clearance dimensions are maintained.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids. The booster heater should not be located in an area where water leakage will result
in damage to the area adjacent to it or to lower floors of the structure. Where such areas cannot be
avoided, install a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, under the heater. The pan must not restrict
combustion air flow. Do not install heater directly on carpeting.

LEVELING
Four legs are welded to the bottom corners of the frame to provide the required six-inch floor clearance.
Adjustable feet at the bottom of the four legs should be rotated in or out as required to level the booster
heater front-to-back and side-to-side in its final location.
COMBUSTION / VENTILATION AIR
CAUTION:
Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can
damage the heater.
An adequate supply of air for proper combustion and ventilation must be provided in accordance with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or applicable building codes. Do not obstruct the flow of
combustion and ventilation air to the heater.
