Vent Installation

Venting:

The Vintage™ gas stove has been tested and listed as a direct vent heater system by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Beaverton, Oregon and is recommended for use with Security™ Secure Vent pipe*.

Important:

•Read all instructions carefully before starting the installation. Failure to follow these instructions may create a fire or other safety hazard and will void the warranty. Be sure to check for specific clearances to combustible requirements on Page 6.

Do not extend the venting system vertically or horizontally in excess of the distance prescribed on Page 14. Consult your local building codes before beginning the installation.

•Always maintain the proper air spaces between the vent pipe and nearby combustibles to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation. Be sure to check the vent termina- tion clearance requirements from decks, windows, soffits, gas regulators, air supply inlets and public walkways, as specified in these installation instructions on Page 15 and local building codes.

•This gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas-burning appli- ance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use its own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

•The Vintage is recommended for use with Security™ Secure Vent pipe*. The appliances and vent manufacturers warranties will be voided and serious fire, health, or other safety hazards may result from any of the following actions:

-Installation of any damaged direct vent component.

-Unauthorized modification of the direct vent system.

-Installation of any vent component part not approved or manufactured by the approved vent manufacturer.

-Installation other than as instructed by Lennox Hearth Products and vent manufacturers instructions.

Vent Considerations:

Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations on female ends of pipes and fittings are designed to slide straight onto male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide into the four entry slots. Push pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately one-quarter turn until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside on the pipe or fittings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.

Supports: Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every 3 feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

Pipe Sealing: If Simpson Dura-Vent pipe is used, the pipe must

be sealed as follows: seal both the inner and outer pipes with a high temperature silicone sealant rated for at least 600ºF (commonly know as “RTV”). Run a 1/8” bead of silicone around outside of male end of outer sleeve. Run a 1/8” bead of silicone about 1/4” from the end of the male inner pipe, which is found in the pipe to be attached above. Twist-lock the pipes or fittings together.
