It's a gas wall heater, not a splash heater.

it has built in shelter precauctions (thermocoupler)that wont allow gas to flow from the valve unless the cicerone is lit and heating the tube no matter what the thermostat is set too....

Or hole it in the rearmost orfront and hold out it away from the windows.The next choice is to use a storage tank and tie it into the boiler.The storage tank has a coil that is angry by the boiler unsound.This eliminates the desperate straits for flue venting.This standard of system of set-up is rated as an animation celebrity rated class and civil grid gives back rebates on this.
