Vent Requirements

!Always maintain the required 1” clearance (air space) to combustible materials to prevent a fire hazard. Do not fill air spaces with insulation.

!The 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 appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it’s own separate vent system.

•This appliance is equipped only for altitudes 0-2000 feet. However, our in-house testing has shown that the unit operated at altitudes to 8000 ft.

!Failure to adjust the air shutter properly may lead to improper combustion which can create a safety hazard. Consult your dealer or installer if you suspect an improperly adjusted air shutter.

•When the vent passes through a wall, a wall thimble is required. When the vent passes through a ceiling, a support box or firestop is required. When the vent passes through the roof, a roof flashing and storm collar are required. Follow the instructions provided with the vent for installing these items.
