Specifications

If the heater is to be installed in a garage, or
similar structure, all burners and burner ignition devices
must have a minimum 18" (457mm) clearance above the
oor.
This heater must be installed at least 5 feet (1.52m)
from the inside wall of a pool unless the heater is
separated from the pool by a solid fence, wall or other
permanent solid barrier.
Ce chauffe-piscine doit être installé au moins 5 pieds (1,52 m)
de la paroi interne de la piscine à moins d'être isolé de la
piscine par une clôture, un mur ou autre barrière permanente.
2.3.3 Flooring
The heater must be installed on a level surface of
noncombustible construction or on re-resistant slabs or
arches. Noncombustible ooring is dened as ooring
material and surface nish not capable of being ignited
and burning and with no combustible materials against
the underside. Acceptable materials are those consisting
entirely of a combination of steel, iron, brick, tile,
concrete, slate, glass or plaster. Do not install the heater
directly on a combustible wood or carpet oor without
placing a noncombustible platform between the oor
and the heater.
The heater can be installed on a combustible oor
if a noncombustible base assembly, available from
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc, is used. See the heater rating
plate or the Parts List (Section 11) of this manual for the
appropriate base part number. Heaters must never be
installed directly on carpeting.
As an alternative to the Jandy noncombustible base
plate, in the United States, the National Fuel Gas Code
(NFPA
®
54 / ANSI
®
Z223.1), and in Canada, the Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Code (CAN/CSA-B149.1),
allow a heater to be placed on a combustible surface
when there is a platform under the heater made of
hollow masonry no less than four (4) inches (102
millimeters [mm]) thick, covered with sheet metal at
least 24 gauge thick and extending beyond the full
width and depth of the heater by at least six (6) inches
(153 mm) in all directions. The masonry must be laid
with ends unsealed, and joints matched to provide free
circulation of air from side to side through the masonry,
see Figure 2. If the heater is installed in a carpeted
alcove, the entire oor of the alcove must be covered by
a noncombustible panel.
Table 2. Minimum Heater Clearances From Combustible Surfaces
Table 2. Dégagements Minimaux à Assurer Entre les Parois de
L'appareil et les Constructions Combustibles
NOTE: Clearances listed in Table 2 are
manufacturer's tested values. These are
given as minimum values. Where local
and national codes apply, and values
are different than those listed in Table
2, use the greater value to ensure safe
operation.
* In Canada - 24 in (61cm)
Figure 2. Noncombustible Platform
Notes:
1. Blocks must provide a solid base and be braced so they
cannot slip out of place.
2. Air openings in blocks must be arranged to provide unre-
stricted opening through entire width or length of base.
3. Sheet metal must be at least 24 ga. and extend 6" beyond
the heater jacket on all sides.
