Note: Service clearance of the Munchkin: See Section 1, Figures 1-1 and 1-2.
If the Munchkin is set up for liquefied petroleum (LP) gas, some geographic areas follow the Uniform
Mechanical Code, section 304.6, “Liquefied petroleum gas burning appliances shall not be installed in
a pit, basement or similar location where heavier-than-air gas might collect. Appliances so fueled, shall
not be installed in a below grade under-floor space or basement unless such location is provided with
an approved means for removal of unburned gas.”
PART 2. ELECTRICAL
A. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical connection for the Munchkin is on the left hand side of the unit. There is a ½” knockout
location for an electrical connection for both the incoming power and the central heating circulator
connection. All electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician in accordance
with National Electrical Code ANSI Z223.1//NFPA 54 to and/or the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA
C22.1, or to the applicable codes and standards. For your convenience, we have labeled all the wires
that need to be connected to operate the Munchkin.
CAUTION
The Munchkin is certified as an indoor appliance. Do not install the Munchkin
outdoors or locate where it will be exposed to freezing temperature. This includes all
related piping and components. If the Munchkin is subjected to flood water or
submersed in water, the Munchkin must be replaced.
CAUTION
Condensation removal: This is a condensing high efficiency appliance, therefore
condensation removal must be addressed to avoid damage to surrounding area or
appliance. See Part (4) Section E for Condensate Requirements.
WARNING
D. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A pressure relief valve is installed into the front right side manifold. We recommend a WATTS ¾"
M 335 MI valve or equivalent and meets the requirements of ANSI/ASME Heater and Pressure
Vessel Code, Section IV or CSA B51; Heater, Pressure Vessel and Piping Code as applicable for
heating heaters. A ¾" pipe must be directed to a floor drain or suitable location within 6" of a drain
or floor. Protect from freezing, do not plug or cap pressure relief valve. Serious explosion causing
property damage and or loss of life could result. Under no circumstances should the relief valve
be eliminated, capped or plugged.
