Installation Notes
A qualified gas installer must vent the DRL3545 with Superior Secure Vent components inside the manual limits and connect 120 V power (the AA batteries are only a backup). In New York City, gas work requires a licensed master plumber and permits; direct vent units are a common NYC-compliant choice.
