SS38 Direct Vent Gas Stove | VENTING INSTALLATION INFORMATION |
Installing a vent system in an |
|
outside chase |
|
A chase is a vertical boxlike structure built to enclose |
|
venting that runs along the outside of a building. A chase |
|
is required for such venting. |
|
WARNING
Treatment of firestops and construction of the chase may vary from building type to building type. These instructions are not substitutes for the requirements of local building codes. You must follow all local building codes.
NOTE: When installing in a chase, you should insulate the chase as you would the outside walls of your home. This is especially important in cold climates. Insulation should be considered a combustible material. Maintain proper clearances to all combustible materials.
WARNING
Always maintain minimum clearances around vent systems. The minimum clearances to combustibles for horizontal vent pipe are 2" at the top and 1" at the sides and bottom of the vent system until the pipe penetrates the nearest vertical wall. A 1" minimum clearance all around the pipe must be maintained. Do not pack the open air spaces with insulation or other materials. This could cause high temperatures and may present a fire hazard.
