is a registered trademark of Tjernlund Products, Inc. for their Model SS1R Vent System.
DESCRIPTION
The SS1R is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with specified Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking and Heat Controller oil
fired furnaces. The SS1R automatically vents the flue gases away from the oil furnace to the outdoors. By combining outside air
with high-tech insulation and maintaining required clearances, surrounding combustible materials remain at safe temperatures. A
factory post-purge time is set at 2 minutes and is adjustable up to 16 minutes, see “Pre / Post-purge Settings” on page 4. The
SS1R features a safety system consisting of the integral UC1 Universal Control, a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit tempera-
ture control. These devices monitor the SS1R’s performance and will interrupt the main burner if a venting malfunction is detected.
APPLICATION TABLE

are based on a maximum of 10 linear feet of vent pipe with no more
than 3 - 90
0
elbows. (Two 45
0
elbows are equivalent to one 90
0
elbow)
