INSTALLATION PLANNING

“B” VENT PIPE

B-Vent Pipe Sizing

BBV400

SBV400

SBV500

4”

6”

6”

Chimney centerline dimensions are referenced on Pages 6 & 7, Figures 2 & 3.

Minimum vertical chimney height - 8’ as measured from top of unit to top of termination.

Minimum vertical height - 40’ as measured from top of unit to top of termination.

Minimum chimney height with two (2) 90° elbows - 8’.

Elbow requirements: Allow a maximum of two (2) 90° elbows or four (4) 45° elbows per installation.

NOTE: Two (2) 45° elbows = one (1) 90° elbow

Horizontal run must never exceed 50% of the height of the vent system. Horizontal runs are measured center pipe to center pipe.

Horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4” rise per foot and may not run level or down hill.

Attaching 4” Flue to BBV:

The first section of B-vent flue should overlap the appliance collar. The appliance collar may be crimped to ease the installation of the first section of flue.

Do not penetrate the pipe inner liner with sheet met- al screws. Attach the initial flue section to the top of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws and plumbers strap. Attach the strap toward the bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper tension to the firebox.

Attaching 6” Flue to SBV:

The 6” appliance collar is slightly larger that the in- ner wall of most B-vent 6” pipe sections. Install the first section of B-vent by slipping the flue’s inner wall tot he inside of the appliance collar. The B-vent outer wall will slip to the outside of the appliance collar.

Do not penetrate the pipe inner line with sheet met- al screws. Attach the initial flue section tot he top of the firebox chassis with 1/4” self-tapping screws and plumber’s strap. Attach the strap toward the bottom of the flue section and pull taut for proper tension to the firebox.

Support the Pipe

Support horizontal runs a minimum of every five (5) feet. Refer to vent manufacturer’s instructions for proper support on vertical runs (45° or less).

Support offsets so the weight of the pipe is not bear- ing down on the elbows.
