Install an induced draft fan in the chimney for applications in which:
-Excessive resistance to the flow of flue gases is excepted
-The
-The chimney height is less than the minimal requirement
When using an induced draft fan the installer should seal all vent joints and provide an inter- lock system for the ELITE to ensure fan oper- ation.
Oil Vent - Direct Vent Applications
The installer must read and comply with the direct vent instruction outline in Triangle Tube
The installer should give attention to the loca- tion of the ELITE prior to installation. The installer should:
-Locate the unit for shortest possible vent length and the most direct path to the outside wall.
-Note that flue gases will form a white plume in colder climates which may obstruct window views
The installer should consider the following when determining the location of the vent ter- mination:
-Locate or guard the vent termination in a manner to prevent accidental contact by people or pets.
-Vent must terminate at least 4 feet below and 4 feet horizontally or 1 foot above any window, door or gravity air inlet to the building.
-Vent must terminate not less than 7 feet above grade when located adjacent to a public sidewalk.
-Terminate the vent at least 6 feet from adjacent walls
-The bottom of the vent termination shall be located at least 1 foot above the grade, including normal snowline.
-DO NOT terminate the vent into win- dow wells, stairwells, alcoves, court- yards or other recess area.
-DO NOT terminate vent above any window, door or gravity inlet as con- densate can freeze causing ice forma- tions.
