INSTALLATION
GAS LINE
INSTALLATION
The gas line can be brought through either the
right or the left side of the appliance. The gas
valve is situated on the right hand side of the
unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side
of the valve.
Note: If the gas line is being installed from
the left side, be sure to leave room to
accommodate servicing of the fan.
The gas line connection may be made of rigid
pipe, copper pipe or an approved fl ex connector.
(If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve
can be removed for servicing.) Since some
municipalities have additional local codes it is
always best to consult with your local authorities
and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.
For USA installations follow local codes and/or
the current National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1.
When using copper or fl ex connectors use only
approved fi ttings. Always provide a union so
that gas lines can be easily disconnected for
servicing. Flare nuts for copper lines and fl ex
connectors are usually considered to meet this
requirement.

Diagram 3: The upper half of the fl ashing is
installed under the roofi ng material and not
nailed down until the chimney is installed.
This allows for small adjustments.

VERTICAL
TERMINATIONS
1)
Maintain the 1-1/2" (38mm) clearances
(air spaces) to combustibles when passing
through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures,
attic rafter, or other nearby combustible
surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with
insulation. Check pages 13-17 for the
maximum vertical rise of
the fl ueing system and the
maximum horizontal offset
limitations.
2)
Set the gas appliance in its
desired location. Drop a plumb
bob down from the ceiling to
the position of the appliance
fl ue exit, and mark the location
where the fl ue will penetrate
the ceiling. Drill a small hole
at this point. Next, drop a
plumb bob from the roof
to the hole previously
drilled in the ceiling, and
mark the spot where the
fl ue will penetrate the
roof.
3)
A Firestop spacer must be installed in the
fl oor or ceiling of every level. To install the
Firestop spacer in a fl at ceiling or wall,
cut a 10 inch square hole. Frame the hole
as shown in Diagram 2 and install the
fi restop.
Note: Apply sealant "Mill-Pac" to inner
pipe and high temperature silicone
sealant to outer pipe on every twist-
lock joint.
4)
Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and
elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow
connections are in the fully twist-locked
position and sealed.
5)
Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small
drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The
hole should be of suffi cient size to meet
the minimum requirements for clearance
to combustibles of 1-1/2" (38mm). Slip the
fl ashing under the shingles (shingles should
overlap half the fl ashing) as per Diagram
3.
6)
Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic
to avoid obstructions, it is important
to support the fl ue pipe every 3'
(0.9m), to avoid excessive stress on
the elbows, and possible separation.
Wall straps are available for this pur-
pose.
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofl ine
due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue
to add pipe sections through the fl ashing until
the height of the fl ue cap meets the minimum
height requirements specifi ed in Dia. 4 or local
codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the
vertical height must be increased. A poor
draft, or down drafting can result from high
wind conditions near big trees or adjoining
roof lines, in these cases, increasing the
fl ue height may solve the problem.
7)
Ensure
fl ue is vertical and secure the base
of the fl ashing to the roof with roofi ng rails,
slide storm collar over the pipe section and
seal with a mastic.
8)
Install the vertical termination cap by twist-
locking it.
Note: Any closets or storage spaces, which
the flue passes through must be
enclosed.
