Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

PLANNING YOUR INSTALLATION:

When planning your installation, it will be necessary to select the proper length of vent pipe for your particular requirements. It is important to note when passing through a wall, the maximum allowable wall thickness is 10 inches (25.4 cm), 11⁄2 inches (3.8 cm) clearance to combustibles must be maintained. Select the amount of vertical rise desired for “vertical-to-horizontal” type installations. To determine the length of vent pipe required for vertical installations, measure the distance from the appliance flue outlet to the ceiling, the ceiling thickness, the vertical rise through the attic or second story, and allow for sufficient vent height above the roofline. For two story applications, a fire stop is required at each floor level. If an offset is needed in the attic, additional pipe and elbows will be required. To connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet, a twist-lock adapter is built into the appliance at the factory.

Refer to INITIAL INSTALLATION - VENT CONFIGURATION AND RESTRICTOR SETTINGS for venting parameters.

Your total vent pipe length must be within the shaded area of Figure 36. If a 90° elbow is used in the horizontal plane, 36” (91.4 cm) must be subtracted from the allowable horizontal run.

There are two (2) basic types of Direct Vent System installations. The two (2) types of installations are shown below.

Ascot specifications

Enviro Ascot is a cutting-edge innovation in sustainable living, a forward-thinking development that marries modern architecture with eco-friendly technologies. Nestled in a prime location, Enviro Ascot is designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing the quality of life for its residents. The project stands as a testament to how urban spaces can be designed sustainably without compromising on aesthetics or functionality.

One of the main features of Enviro Ascot is its emphasis on energy efficiency. The buildings are equipped with state-of-the-art insulation materials and energy-efficient windows that help to reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Solar panels placed on rooftops harness renewable energy, providing a significant portion of the electricity needs for the community. This not only lowers utility costs but also significantly reduces the carbon footprint of the development.

Water conservation is another hallmark of Enviro Ascot. The community features a rainwater harvesting system that collects and stores rainwater for use in irrigation and other non-potable applications. This initiative not only conserves precious water resources but also alleviates pressure on local water supply systems. Additionally, drought-resistant landscaping has been incorporated into the design, ensuring that the green spaces remain vibrant even during dry spells.

In terms of transportation, Enviro Ascot promotes a car-free lifestyle with extensive biking and walking paths interwoven throughout the community. Charging stations for electric vehicles are available at strategic locations, encouraging the use of eco-friendly transportation. The design is pedestrian-centric, making it easy for residents to access essential services, parks, and amenities without the need for a car.

Furthermore, the community boasts smart home technologies that enhance convenience and sustainability. Homes are outfitted with smart thermostats, energy-monitoring systems, and home automation features, allowing residents to optimize their energy use seamlessly. Through a centralized app, residents can monitor energy consumption, schedule heating and cooling, and even control lighting and security systems from their smartphones.

The architectural design of Enviro Ascot reflects a contemporary aesthetic while being practical. Natural materials and earthy color palettes integrate the buildings into the surrounding environment, creating a harmonious blend with nature. Green roofs and living walls add to the biodiversity of the area, providing habitats for various species and improving air quality.

In conclusion, Enviro Ascot is not just a residential development; it is a vision for the future of sustainable living. With its commitment to energy efficiency, water conservation, and innovative technologies, it stands as a model for environmentally responsible urban design. Residents of Enviro Ascot enjoy a lifestyle that is both modern and eco-conscious, paving the way for a sustainable future.
