INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS
Failure to install, maintain and/or operate the Rooftop Inducer in accordance with manufacturer's instructions may result in conditions
which can produce bodily injury and property damage.
The Rooftop Inducer must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with these instructions and all local codes or in their
absence in accordance with the latest edition of The National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA 54), NFPA 211 or 31 when applicable, the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) when applicable. In the
absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA Std 22.1 ), the latest edition of
the Natural Gas Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.1), the Propane Installation Code (CAN/CGA-B149.2) and the Installation Code for
Oil Burning Equipment (CSA Std B139-M91).
Improper installation can create a hazardous condition such as an explosion, fire, electrical shock or carbon monoxide poisoning
resulting in property damage, personal injury or death.
1. The Rooftop Inducer may be installed on natural gas, LP-gas, oil-fired, solid fuel heating systems or general ventilation systems.
The Rooftop Inducer is not suitable for use on condensing equipment.
2. The Rooftop Inducer was tested with exit flue gas temperatures of 1000 O F (537 O C) U.S. and 575 O F (300 O C) Canada.
3. The Rooftop Inducer may not be installed on incinerators or incinerating toilets.
4. The Rooftop Inducer must always be installed at the vent system termination. Not suitable for Side Wall terminations.
5. The Rooftop Inducer shall not be installed on an appliance with an automatic valve having a manual opener unless the manual
opener has been rendered inoperative or the automatic valve has been replaced with a valve not equipped with a manual opener.
6. RT750 / RT1500 Rooftop Inducers may only be installed on appliances equipped with a draft hood, draft diverter, barometric
draft control or other dilution air providing source.
The Rooftop Inducer is designed to fit any type of nominal (8" Models RT750 / RT750H) or (12" Models RT1500 / RT1500H) diame-
ter vent pipe. Vent pipe must be installed and supported according to manufacturer's instructions and/or in accordance with NFPA 211,

2. Plan the vent system so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustibles.
3. Make certain the power supply is adequate for Rooftop Inducer motor requirements. Do not add the Rooftop Inducer to a circuit
where the total load is unknown.
4. The installer must verify that the appliance(s) on which the Rooftop Inducer will be installed is in a safe operating condition. Consult
appliance manufacturer's Instructions for details.
