Side Wall Vent Hood Installation

1.Use the inside wall plate as a template to mark the hole location. Cut a hole 1 inch larger than the marked hole to facilitate easy installation (See Figure 4)

2.Center vent hood through the hole from outside. Fasten the vent hood to the outside wall with the appropriate type of mounting screws.

3.Fasten the wall end plate to the inside wall with the appropriate type of mounting screws. NOTE: Apply sealant to the outside mounting plate of the vent hood to prevent leakage.

4.Connect the venter outlet or a properly sized section of vent pipe onto the inner pipe of the vent hood. Fasten the connection with three sheet metal screws or equivalent fastening method.

5.Seal the vent hood inlet connection and any other vent pipe joints on the outlet side of the venter with an approved high temperature silicone adhesive sealant or equivalent material.

NOTE: Do not enclose the space between the plates on the outside of the vent hood or between the inner and outer pipe of the vent hood. This might

cause overheating of the wall structure. Local codes might require fencing around the vent hood outlet.

VENTER LOCATION

Install the power venter onto the vent hood inlet or as close to the vent hood inlet as possible. Always install the venter such that the motor shaft is horizontal and the pressure switch diaphragm is vertical (See Figure 5) When venting a draft induced gas fired heating appliance a barometric draft control must be installed on the vent system between the appliance outlet and the venter inlet. (See Figure 6)

Figure 6

CAUTION: The power venter should never be installed with the motor shaft in the vertical position. This could allow heat to be trapped in the venter housing and radiate through the motor possibly causing motor deterioration and premature failure. Never attach the venter inlet directly to the outlet of the heating appliance. Also, a minimum of 6 inches clearance between the venter housing and combustible materials must be maintained.

CONNECTING VENTER TO THE FLUE PIPE

NOTE: The power venter should be supported in accordance with National Fuel Gas Code Z223.1, Section 7.910 as follows; A vent connector shall be supported for the design and weight of the material employed to maintain clearances and to prevent physical damage and separation of joints.

NOTE: For gas fired heating appliances not equipped with a draft hood, a barometric draft control must be installed between the heating appliance exhaust outlet and the power venter inlet to regulate any draft fluctuations during operation.

1.Use approved vent connectors to join the heating appliance outlet to the venter inlet securing each joint with sheet metal screws or equivalent means of fastening when required.

2.Seal all pipe joints on the outlet side of the venter with a high temperature silicone adhesive or equivalent. Test the vent connections for leaks by using a soap solution as recommended by the National Fuel Gas Code, A.N.S.I. Z223.1, Section 4.1.1.
