Venting Installation | Roberts Gorden CGTH-30, CGTH-50, CGTH-40

SECTION 5: VENTING INSTALLATION

Vent configuration 1 is for the galvanized vent mate- rial, See Pages 22 through 25. Vent configuration 2 is for the Cox Geelen vent material, See Pages 26 through 30. The galvanized vent material is available for horizontal installation only. The Cox Geelen vent style can be installed horizontally or vertically. The maximum overall vent length is 10’ (3 m) with only one 90° elbow. The flue must be self supporting.

WARNING

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Heater must be exhausted outside. Use materials supplied.

This heater needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate combustion and ventilation air.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or injury.

5.1 General Venting Requirements

This heater must be vented in accordance with the following national codes and any local codes which may apply:

United States: Refer to ANSI Z223.1 - latest revision.

Canada: Refer to CAN/CGA-B149.1 and B149.2 - latest revision.

Vent terminal must be installed at a height sufficient to prevent blockage by snow and protect building materials from degradation by flue gasses.

Vent must exit a building not less than 7' (2.1 m) above grade when located adjacent to public walkways.

For galvanized venting, seal all joints with high tem- perature silicone sealant.

United States Requirements

Vent must terminate at least 3' (.9 m) above any forced air inlet located within 10' (3 m).

Vent must terminate at least 4' (1.3 m) below, 4'

(1.3 m) horizontally from, or 1' (.3 m) above any door, window, or gravity inlet into any building.

Vent terminal shall be located at least 1' (.9 m) from any opening through which vent gasses could enter a building.

Canadian Requirements

Vent terminal must not be installed less than 3' (.9 m) from any building opening.

Vent terminal must be installed at least 3' (.9 m)

above grade.

5.2 Install Galvanized Collar

For all galvanized flue installations, the galvanized collar (See Figure 15) is shipped loose in the carton. For ease of installation, the vent collar should be installed on the rear surface of the burner before the heater is suspended. Install the galvanized collar as follows:

1.Apply a bead of high temperature silicone sealant to the mating surface of the galvanized collar mounting flange.

2.Align the three mounting holes of the galvanized collar with the three galvanized collar mounting holes on the rear surface of the burner.

3.Using a #2 phillips head screwdriver, or 1/4" nut driver, secure the galvanized collar to the rear sur- face of the burner with the three screws (#8 x 3/8" 10 mm long) provided in the accessories bag sup- plied with the heater.
