IMPORTANT
The unit will not vent properly with the flue transition
pointed down in the 6 o’clock position.
The combustion air inducer may be rotated clock-
wise or counterclockwise by 90° to allow for top or
side vent discharge in all applications. When the unit
is installed, the flue transition must be in the 9
o’clock, 12 o’clock or 3 o’clock position.
If necessary, reposition the combustion air inducer, pres-
sure switch and/or make−up box as needed per the follow-
ing steps. See figures 17 through 21.
1 − Remove the four mounting screws (figure 15) which
secure the combustion air inducer / pressure switch
assembly to the orifice plate. Lift the assembly and ro-
tate it 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise to ei-
ther the 3 o’clock position or to 9 o’clock position. Re−
secure with four screws. Gasket should be left in place.
2 − Use tin snips to cut preferred opening on the cabinet
for repositioning the flue outlet. Use the cut−out piece
as a cover plate to patch unused opening on cabinet.
