NOTES:
A. In installations where ductwork is run downward, one
standard hot air vent must also open into the fireplace
room.
B. Booster fans must not be enclosed with a chase.
C. Booster fans on upward ductwork must be equipped
with snap disk, heat sensitive switches. Booster fans
on downward ductwork may be equipped with snap
disk, heat sensitive switches or an on/off switch.
D. All hot air ductwork must be 8" diameter B-Vent
through the initial wall or ceiling penetration. Single
wall pipe may then be used providing booster fans and
self closing dampers are installed on upward ducting.
E. See wiring section for detailed electrical requirements.
F. B-Vent will retain heat much better than single wall
pipe for longer runs.
G. Cut hole in outer skin of B-Vent to install snap disk.
