VENT CONFIGURATIONS AND RESTRICTOR SETTINGS:
Figures 23 & 24 show the range of venting options, they show possible vent configurations if the unit is top vented (see Figure 23) or rear vented (see Figure 24), for vertical and horizontal terminations, any layout that remains within the shaded area is acceptable. Having the fewest number of elbows is ideal, as they tend to disrupt air movement. Using 45˚ elbows is preferable to using 90˚ elbows. Also, a shorter vent system will perform better than a longer one.
The ENVIRO WESTPORT has been designed with a built in restrictor |

plate. The restrictor is designed to enhance flame appearance when |

|
installing this unit with vertical chimneys as well as installations with | ���� ������� ����� | ||
longer horizontal vent applications. It does this by controlling the | ������ ���������� ����� | ||

amount of air moving through the vent pipe. |
