Vent System Installation Precautions

Before starting installation of vent kits, the installer should read these instructions and the Vent Kit Instructions to ensure that a proper vent installation is completed.

Consult your local Building Codes before beginning the Installation.

WARNING

THIS GAS INSERT AND VENT ASSEMBLY MUST BE VENTED DIRECTLY TO THE OUTSIDE AND MUST NEVER BE ATTACHED TO A CHIMNEY SERVING A SEPARATE SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE. EACH GAS APPLIANCE MUST USE A SEPARATE VENT SYSTEM. COMMON VENT SYSTEMS ARE PROHIBITED.

Table 1 and Figure 3 through 5 shows the vent termination caps and systems approved for the use with these models. Approved vent system terminations are labeled for identification. 3-inch diameter listed flexible aluminum or stainless steel gas vent is used for both the incoming combustion air and exhaust vent pipes. NO OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS OR COMPONENTS MAY BE USED. Detailed installation instructions are included with each vent termination kit and should be used in conjunction with this manual.

Horizontal Venting

The vent system on this model CANNOT be terminated horizontally.

Vertical Venting

The vent pipes MUST be connected to the proper collars on the unit AND the exhaust vent pipe MUST be connected to the termination cap or the unit will not operate. The combustion air vent pipe CAN be connected to the termination cap or it can terminate inside the chimney. The bottom opening of the chimney must be sealed around the vent pipes if the combustion air vent is NOT connected to the termination cap. See Figures 3, 4 and 5.

NOTE: The minimum vertical rise (exhaust vent) is 14 feet and the maximum vertical rise is 50 feet. These dimensions are measured from the starting collars of the unit to the end of the last section of vent pipe See dimension V in Figure 3.
