INSTALLATION
VENTING INTRODUCTION
The P40 uses the "balanced
fl
ue" technology Co Axial system. The
inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer
liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby
eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing
warm room air up the chimney.
Note: These
fl
ue pipes must not be connected to any other
appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside
of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid
fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it's
own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.
*
For "C" screw position the top facing support is reversed.
Note:
For screw position C with a facing material depth of 1-1/4"
(32mm), the top facing support must be reversed.
UNIT ASSEMBLY PRIOR TO
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
The Top Facing Support, the Side Nailing Strips and the 2 Top
Standoffs must be correctly positioned and attached before unit is
slipped into position.
TOP STANDOFF ASSEMBLY
The top standoffs are shipped in a
fl
at position and must be folded into
shape and attached.
1) Remove the standoffs from top of the
fi
replace.
2) Take each standoff and bend into the correct shape. Bend up at the
bend lines until the screw holes in the standoff and the pre-punched
screw holes on the
fi
replace top line up.
3) Attach the standoff securely to the top with 2 screws per standoff
(on opposite corners).
TOP FACING SUPPORT AND SIDE NAILING STRIPS
Determine the total thickness of facing material to allow the
fi
nished surface
to be
fl
ush with the front of the unit. Total facing thickness can vary from
1/2" (13mm) to 1-1/4" (32mm) thick.
The Top Facing Support & Side Nailing Strips can be mounted in 3 different
positions depending on the thickness of the facing material.
1)
Mount Top Facing Support using the 3 supplied screws into the three
pre-punched screw holes on the top front of the unit. Use hole posi-
tions A, B, or C depending on your facing depth.
2)
Use the same screw hole position for the Side Nailing Strips as was
used for the Top Facing Support. Attach each side nailing strip using
3 screws.
Note:
When installing side strips into position C, the side strips are not
reserved.
