INSTALLATION OF PVI-DVP

1. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

a.This device must be installed by a qualified installer in accordance with these instructions.

b.Safety inspection of the venting system should be performed before and after installation of this power vent. Consult local code officials and follow applicable installation codes.

c.DO NOT INSTALL DAMAGED EQUIPMENT OR VENT COMPONENTS.

d.The exit termination of mechanical draft systems shall not be less than seven feet above grade when located adjacent to public walkways and at least ten feet from lot line or adjacent buildings.

e.A mechanical drafting venting system shall terminate at least three feet above any forced air inlet located within ten feet.

f.Disconnect electrical power supply before making wiring connections.

g.Venting of more than one appliance in a common vent system is prohibited.

h.Clearances between the vent pipe and combustible ma- terials must be maintained at 3-inch top, 1-inch sides, and 1/2 inch bottom.

i.All outer pipe joints must be sealed with high tempera- ture silicone. See Section10.A.

CAUTION: Failure to install, operate, and maintain the power venting system in accordance with manufacturer's instructions will result in conditions which may produce bodily injury and/or property damage.

NOTICE: The blower motors present in this appliance will generate sound during operation. The effects of the increased sound level can be minimized with careful planning during installation of the system. Locating the powervent service access grill in an area remote of immediate living space will reduce the effects of the added sound generated during operation.

2. INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS. DO NOT in- stall PVI with the access panel facing upward. Over- heating may occur.

a.If the PVI-DVP is being installed in a confined space (such as a utility closet, mechanical room or attic space) with a total volume less than 720 cubic ft, an 8 inch by 16 inch hole will be required directly in front of the access panel. The confined space where PVI is installed, and the space to which the access hole opens, must add up to at least 720 cubic feet. This hole may be covered with a decorative cover as long as the cover has a minimum of 50% open air. This also applies to a fireplace chase.

If the PVI-DVP is being installed in a space greater than 720 cubic ft the 8 inch by 16 inch access hole is still required, but a solid cover may be used.

The decorative cover CANNOT be located on an outside wall that is open to the environment.

b.For installations near loose-fill insulation (such as attics) a minimum clearance of six inches must be maintained between the access panel and the insulation.

c.The access panel opening must be located such that access for service and adjustment is available. The NEC requires a minimum of 30 inches of space around the opening and 36 inches in front of the opening to the access panel. Consult officials having jurisdiction regarding regional requirements.
