Do not terminate vent
in any enclosed or semi-enclosed
area such as a carport, garage, attic, crawl space, under a
sun deck or porch, narrow walkway or closely fenced area,
or any location that can build up a concentration of fumes
such as a stairwell, covered breezeway, etc.
CAUTION
A. Chimney and Exhaust Connection
1.
Chimney & Connector
:
Use 3 or 4 inch (76-102mm)
diameter type "L" or "PL" venting system. It can be vented
vertically or horizontally.
2.
Mobile Home:
Approved for all Listed pellet vent. If using
the 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter Kit or the 3
to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter, use Listed
double wall flue connector. An authorized Outside Air Kit
must be used with manufactured home installations.
3.
Residential:
The 3 inch (76mm) vertical Top Vent Adapter
Kit and the 3 to 6 inch (76-152mm) Top Vent Offset Adapter
are tested to use 24 gauge single wall flue connector or
Listed double wall flue connector to Class A Listed metal
chimneys, or masonry chimneys meeting International
Conference of Building Officials (ICBO) standards for solid
fuel appliances.
4.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE
VENT MANUFACTURER.
5
. Secure exhaust venting system to the appliance with
at least 3 screws or rivets per the pipe manufacturer’s
instructions. Also secure all connector pipe joints with at
least 3 screws through each joint.
6. DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST
VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
7. DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
NOTE: All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever pos-
sible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone (500°F
[260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone inside
of pipe.
B. Venting Termination Requirements
1
.
Termination must exhaust above air inlet elevation.
It is
strongly recommended that at least 60 inches (1.5m)
of vertical pipe be installed when appliance is vented
directly through a wall.
This will create a natural draft,
which will help prevent the possibility of smoke or odor
venting into the home during a power outage. It will
also keep exhaust from causing a nuisance or hazard
by exposing people or shrubs to high temperatures. The
safest and preferred venting method is to extend the vent
vertically through the roof.
2
.
Distance from
doors and opening windows, or gravity or
ventilation air inlets into building:
a. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
b. Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
c. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3
.
Distance from permanently closed windows;
a. Not less than 12 inches (305mm) below; horizontally
from or above.
4
.
Distance between
bottom of termination and grade should
be 12 inches (305mm) minimum. This is conditional
upon plants in the area, and nature of grade surface.
The grade surface must be a non-combustible material
(i.e., rock, dirt). The grade surface must not be lawn.
Distance between bottom of termination and public
walkway should be 7 feet (2.13m) minimum.
5
.
Distance to combustible
materials must be 24 inches
(610mm) minimum. This includes adjacent buildings,
fences, protruding parts of the structure, roof overhang,
plants and shrubs, etc.
6. Termination Cap Location (Home Electrical Service)
• Side-to-side clearance is to be the same as minimum
clearance to vinyl inside corners.
• Clearance of a termination cap below electrical service
shall be the same as minimum clearance to vinyl soffits.
• Clearance of a termination cap above electrical service
will be 12 inches (305mm) minimum.
• Location of the vent termination must not obstruct or
interfere with access to the electrical service.
Vent surfaces get HOT, can cause burns if
touched. Non-combustible shielding or guards
may be required.

WARNING
ONLY use connector:
• Within the room, between appliance and ceiling or wall.
