B. Design and Installation Considerations
Heatilator B-type vent gas appliances are designed to
operate with all exhaust gases expelled to the outside of
the building, and combustion air pulled from the room.
Installation MUST comply with local, regional, state and
national codes and regulations. Consult insurance carrier,
local building inspector, fire officials or authorities having
jurisdiction over restrictions, installation inspection and
permits.
Before installing, determine the following:
• Where the appliance is to be installed.
• The vent system configuration to be used.
• Gas supply piping.
• Electrical wiring requirements.
• Framing and finishing details.
• Whether optional accessories—devices such as a fan,
wall switch, or remote control—are desired.

The following B-vent components are needed for installa-
tion.
• Fireplace Box
• Pipe Components
• Firestops
• Attic Insulation Shield
• Elbows
• Strapping
• Roof Flashing or Chase Top
• Termination Cap

• Carefully remove the appliance and components from
the packaging.
