Installing Louvers
NOTE: Do not install louvers
if installing a nozzle. Follow
the instructions shipped with
the nozzle.
Louver Installation Instructions:
1) With the wider section of the louver facing out of the heater, place one of the compres-
sion springs over the tab on the notched end of a louver. The end of the louver with the
spring will fit in any direction in the square opening. How the louver turns depends on
which end of the louver is inserted first.
2) Depending on the throw pattern selected, push the louver tab with the spring into a
hole in the discharge opening and insert the louver tab on the other end into the
corresponding hole on the opposite side.
3) Continue until all louvers are installed.
Adjust the louvers to provide the
desired throw pattern.
Airflow direction;
springs are on
the upper end.
Airflow direction;
springs are on
the lower end.
Wider side of the louver
blade must always be
facing out of the heater.

Compression Springs to
Install Louvers in the
Discharge Opening(s)
CAUTION: To avoid getting
burned, adjust louvers while
heater is not operating. If
adjusting louvers while
heater is operating, wear
gloves.
After the unit is suspended/mounted, install the air directional louvers or optional
nozzle. If an optional nozzle is being installed, follow the instructions included with
the nozzle. If a nozzle is not being used, install the louvers in the discharge opening(s).
Louvers and springs are in the hardware kit shipped with the heater.
Before actually installing the louvers, note the louver curve and determine how the
louvers should be positioned to provide the optimal throw pattern. Opening is square
so louvers may be installed either horizontal or vertical. Louvers may be installed
with the curve all the same direction (either way) or the right half one way and left
the other as illustrated in FIGURE 6.
Airflow direction depends on
how the louvers are installed.
WARNING: This appliance is equipped for a maximum gas supply
pressure of 1/2 psi, 3.5 kPa, or 14 inches water column. Supply
pressure greater than 1/2 psi requires installation of an additional
lockup-type service regulator external to the heater.
WARNING: PRESSURE TESTING SUPPLY PIPING
Test Pressures Above 1/2 PSI: Disconnect the heater and manual valve from the
gas supply line which is to be tested. Cap or plug the supply line.
Test Pressures Below 1/2 PSI: Before testing, close the manual valve on the heater.

Note: When sizing supply lines, consider possibilities of future expansion and increased requirements.
Refer to National Fuel Gas Code for additional information on line sizing.
WARNING: All com-
ponents of a gas supply
system must be leak
tested prior to placing
equipment in service.
NEVER TEST FOR
LEAKS WITH AN OPEN
FLAME. Failure to
comply could result in
personal injury, property
damage or death.
