Two openings are required — one within 12 inches of the top of the enclosure and one within 12 inches of the bottom of the enclosure.

SU F SE R V I C E HA N D B O O K INSTAL LATION CONTAMINATED AIR RUST = CHIPS Along with adequate make-up air, the quality of the air is important. Contaminants in combustion air can lead to premature heater failure. Vapors from bleaches, soaps, salts, etc. are drawn into the combustion chamber with the make-up air and, once fired, mix with water vapor in the gasses to form extremely corrosive hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid and other corrosive by-products. Dust drawn in may build up on the

With 70° F ambient air temperature and 180° F stored water temperature, exhaust gas will be approxi- mately 140° F. Recommended starting point for water storage is 120° F. The extra high thermal efficiency of the SUF will result in condensation in the flue passage. The fol- lowing answers common questions about this condensation. CAN I DRAIN
