does this unit have to be vented
1 answer-
ProductExpert37· 5 years ago
This heater can be used in Unvented mode. The term Unvented actually means Indirect Vented. While the products of combustion are expelled into the building, national codes require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This ventilation may be provided by gravity or mechanical means.

How is this heater mounted to a wall?
1 answer-
ProductExpert41· 8 years ago
This heater can be mounted to a wall by using angle brackets. These brackets can be found at a local hardware store. When mounting off the wall you will want to follow the recommended clearances from any combustible material. These clearances are 37" above, 73" below, 20" from the rear and 31" from the sides of the heater.
