Reznor heater F100-E venting

[Trucker76]

I have a Reznor heater that I purchased and installing in my garage shop area. The model is a F100-E, I was wondering what size of breaker I need for my breaker panel.

What does the nameplate say? Typically the manufacturer calls for a fused disconnect as well.

 

[Trucker76]

I don’t recall seeing anything like that on the sticker plate

 

[BrandonV]

Should be to the right of MAXIMUM TOTAL INPUT.

 

[Trucker76]

That says 3.0 amp

 

[BrandonV]

Looking at the manual they call for a fused disconnect. Since this is just a fan and the pilot light it's not pulling much.

Some of the electricians on here should chime in but I'd probably just put a 3A fused disconnect in.

 

[Trucker76]

Ok I really appreciate all the help you have given

Just a 15a 14ga circuit. Fused disconnect is a bit much for a gas fired unit heater. I'd use a dedicated breaker and a switch at the heater.

Thank you 4x4Pete, that’s what I was thinking also just was not sure. I appreciate the info.

late to the game, but yes,a 15A breaker is just fine. there may be a 3 amp fuse on the main board, if it has one

 

[Trucker76]

I appreciate the info, I will be doing the wiring tomorrow.

Can a Reznor F100-E heater vent directly out through the wall without turning up and going past the roof line.

Horizontal venting is okay per the manufacturer if you are using their motorized vent exhaust accessory.

Ok do I have to get that through Reznor?

Probably best to call them to see what they say but there may be third party solutions for this as well.

 

[Trucker76]

Will do thank you

 

[Trucker76]

OK will do. Thank you very much.
