INSTALLATION - VENTING
•
When installed with
one foot of rise,
the Halcyon can be installed with no more than
two
90° elbows OR
four
45° elbows OR a
combination totaling no more than 180° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of one 90° elbow and two 45° elbows is
allowed (90° + 45° + 45° equals 180°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and two 45° elbows is not allowed (the total equals
270°.)
•
When installed with
more than one foot of rise,
the Halcyon can be installed with no more than
three
90° elbows OR
six
45°
elbows OR a combination totaling no more than 270° ‘elbow degrees’. For example, a combination of two 90° elbows and two
45° elbows is allowed (90° + 90° + 45° equals 270°) but a combination of two 90° elbows and three 45° elbows is not allowed
(the total equals 315°.) These elbows can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
•
The first 90° elbow must have the Horizontal Heat Shield either mounted to the top of the elbow with the enclosed Heat
Shield Mounting Bracket or mounted on the wall as shown in
Figure 25.
•
A minimum clearance of 1½” must be maintained between combustible materials and any horizontal or vertical vent pipe
surface.
•
The horizontal parts of the venting must be pitched up, away from the Fireplace. For every 12 inches of horizontal run, the
venting must rise 1/4” toward the termination. The venting must never run downward.
•
Whenever venting passes through a wall, a heat shield, or ‘wall thimble’, from any of the manufacturers listed in
Table 8
must
be installed.
