Installation Guidelines
Heater: Not Ducted
Room Size: Larger than 700 ft³ (e.g., 7' x 10' x 10'). Requirements: No additional ventilation needed.
Room Size: Smaller than 700 ft³ (e.g., 7' x 10' x 10'). Requirements: Full louvered door OR two louvers top and bottom.
Room: Small Closet. Requirements: Air gap under door equal to 18 in² (0.75" clearance). Louver must be located the same height on door as the air exhaust on heater. Heater air exhaust must be positioned towards louver within one foot of door.
Heater: Ducted
With inlet OR outlet duct: Room size: Any size room. Requirements: Air gap under door equal to 18 in² (0.75" clearance).
With inlet AND outlet duct: Room size: Any size room. Requirements: No additional ventilation needed.
Note: Heat pump water heaters may operate in rooms less than 700 ft³ down to 450 ft³ but at reduced energy efficiency and performance. For optimal performance in small enclosures, a door or wall with a minimum of 2.3 sq ft of louvers is recommended for proper air changes.
