CHECKING VENT CAPACITY

Complete all gas piping, electrical, and vent connections. After adjust- ing the burner system and lighting the main burners, allow a couple of minutes for warm-up. Hold a lighted match just under the rim of the draft hood relief opening. Proper venting will draw the flame toward or into the draft hood. Improper venting, indicated by escape or spillage of burned gas, will cause match to flicker or go out. Smoke from a cigarette will also be pulled into the draft hood if the vent is drawing properly.

CHIMNEYS

Complete familiarity with chimney condition, height, size, clear- ance to combustibles and other factors is essential.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding masonry chimney venting applications.

NOTICE: A complete chimney inspection by a quali- fied person should be performed.

Appliances using B-vent connectors to vent into a masonry or factory-built chimney should not exceed 1 1/2 feet in length for every inch of connector diameter (3" vent connector has a maxi- mum 4 1/2 foot length; 5" connector has maximum 7 1/2 foot length).

Oversized chimneys should be relined with appropriate listed relining systems.

Cleanout access may be required.

RELINING SYSTEMS

Suitability and approval of relining materials should be determined.

Condition, size, height, and termination of the chimney to be relined must be determined.

No substitution of components should be made.

Joints and connectors should be made according to manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTICE: Consult the authority having jurisdiction in your area regarding listed chimney liner venting applications.

WARNING: Operation of improperly installed and maintained venting system could result in serious injury, property damage, or loss of life.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATION

Your DESA B-vent burner system has been AGA tested and ap- proved for elevations from 0-2000 feet and CGA certified for eleva- tions from 0-4500 feet.

When installing this burner system at an elevation above 2000 feet (in the USA), you may need to decrease the input rating by changing the existing burner orifice to a smaller size. Reduce input 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. Check with your local gas company for proper orifice size identification and proper orifice for your location.

When installing this stove and burner system at an elevation above 4500 feet (in Canada), check with local authorities.

For assistance with any high altitude installation contact DESA’s Technical Service Department at 1-866-672-6040.

SBVBP(C), SBVBN(C) specifications

Desa SBVBP(C) and SBVBN(C) are two advanced models in the landscape of environmental and energy-efficient technologies. These innovative designs are at the forefront of sustainable construction, showcasing a plethora of features and characteristics that make them stand out.

One of the main features of Desa SBVBP(C) is its emphasis on bioclimatic architecture, which ensures that buildings harmonize with their surrounding environment. This model incorporates passive solar design principles, allowing natural light to penetrate efficiently while minimizing energy loss. High-performance thermal insulation is another significant characteristic, which helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures regardless of external weather conditions.

Desa SBVBN(C) complements its counterpart with its remarkable integration of renewable energy technologies. Equipped with photovoltaic panels and wind turbine systems, this model harnesses natural energy sources to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy. The energy generated can be used for lighting, heating, and powering appliances, making the building self-sufficient and cost-effective over time.

Both models utilize smart technology for enhanced operational efficiency. Internet of Things (IoT) devices allow for real-time monitoring and control of energy consumption, promoting sustainable living practices among residents. Automated systems adjust lighting, heating, and cooling based on occupancy and time of day, further contributing to energy savings.

Water conservation is another crucial aspect of Desa SBVBP(C) and SBVBN(C). Both designs implement rainwater harvesting systems and greywater recycling technologies, ensuring that water usage is minimized and reused effectively. This not only lowers utility bills for occupants but also contributes to environmental sustainability by reducing the strain on local water resources.

The construction materials used in both models emphasize sustainability, utilizing recycled, locally sourced, and eco-friendly materials whenever possible. This commitment to green building practices ensures that the overall environmental footprint of the structures is minimal.

In summary, Desa SBVBP(C) and SBVBN(C) represent a paradigm shift towards eco-conscious living. Through the integration of advanced technologies, renewable energy sources, and smart systems, these models provide a blueprint for sustainable development that addresses the pressing challenges of climate change and environmental degradation. As cities around the world seek innovative solutions to improve urban living, models like these shine as beacons of hope and progress.
