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.
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:
- Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) below;
- Not less than 48 inches (1.2m) horizontally from;
- Not less than 12 inches (305mm) above.
3. Distance from permanently closed windows;
- 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.
NOTE:
All pipe must be welded seam pipe whenever
possible. Seal pipe joints with high temperature silicone
(500°F [260°C] minimum rated only). Do not put silicone
inside of pipe.
