NOTES :
1. Do not terminate the vent in any enclosed or semi-enclosed areas that can build up a
concentration of smoke.
2. Vent surfaces can become extremely hot. Keep children away from such areas. Non-combustible
shielding or guards may be required.
3. Termination must exhaust above sea level and the inlet elevation. It is recommended to have a
short vertical run which will help in the event of total power failure.
4. If the unit is incorrectly vented or the air to fuel mixture is out of balance, a slight discoloration of
the exterior of the house might occur. Since these factors are beyond our control we offer no
guarantee against such incidents.
5. When installing into an existing masonry chimney, you will probably need a short horizontal
section to clear the lintel and allow the hopper lid to open.
6. Vent terminations shall not be recessed into walls or siding.
7. A vent shall not terminate directly above a sidewalk or paved driveway which is located between
two single family dwellings and serves both dwellings.
8. If the vent termination is children accessible, a certified guard shall be installed as specified in
CGA B149 installation Code in Canada. Note: Local codes or regulations may require different
clearances.
