Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

Planning Your Installation:

The Cara DR is only for horizontal rear vent installations. The maximum horizontal is 2’ (61 cm) and the slope on the vent must be 1¼” per foot (3.2 cm per 30 cm). No vent restrictor is required and no elbows are allowed. When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for your particular requirements. It is important to note when passing through a wall, the maximum allowable wall thickness is 10 inches (25.4 cm); 1½ inches (3.8 cm) clearance to combustibles must be maintained. To connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory.

Note: If necessary to get above grade the Cara DR can be installed using a 14” or 36” snorkel.
