[VAC] Re: furnace/ Catalytics



NOW we're getting somewhere! I LIKE this option: radiant AND fan-forced
heat, two zones, etc. I've never heard of ventilated catalytics. I have lots
of questions:
€ Is the vent via a tube, or directly in the heater housing?
€ Does the vent exhaust all the combustion products, water included?
€ Do these units each have a fan, and are they both hooked up to the
thermostat for completely automatic heating? Or is it just the blower that's
hooked to the thermostat?
€ Is anyone else familiar with these rigs? Are they safe to run with the
trailer closed, round the clock?
€ Phil, when you have a chance and if these cats have mfr labels on them
that would help me get in touch with the maker, I'd love to have that info.
