VENTING INSTALLATION

Continued

Vent terminations must be located in accordance with height and proximity rules of NFPA No. 54 or CAN/CSA B149. These rules apply to vents at 12 in. diameter or less and require a minimum height in accordance with the roof pitch and a minimum of 8 ft. distance from a vertical wall or obstruction (see Figure 10).

If venting horizontally through a side wall becomes necessary, a listed thimble approved for use with B-type vent must be used. Check with your local codes before venting through a side wall.

Some codes areas allow the use of existing B-type vent systems if the system is at or above the recommended diameter of the flue.

The flue connection must be made using listed B-type connectors and the existing system must be code inspected for damage and proper installation.

It is not recommended that this appliance be common vented with an existing gas burning appliance. However, if it becomes necessary to common vent this appliance, the venting system must be sized and configured in accordance with the common venting guides Appendix G of the current National Fuel Gas Code NFPA No. 54/ ANSI Z223.1 and in Canada with CAN/CSA B149.

Note: Before connecting this appliance to an existing vent system or a common venting system consult with your local architect, planner, or building official.

WARNING: This appliance must be properly con- nected to a system and must not be connected to a chimney flue servicing a separate solid fuel burning appliance.

CHECKING FOR PROPER VENTING

After completing and checking the electrical, gas and vent connec- tions, follow the lighting instructions and allow the main burner to run for approximately 5 minutes. Hold a lighted match or cigarette near the top edge of the fireplace opening and play it along the entire length of the opening (see Figure 11). Proper venting should tend to draw the flame or smoke into the appliance. Improper venting or escaping of spillage of burned gas, is indicated when the match flickers or goes out. Smoke from a cigarette will also tend to disperse away from the appliance.
