QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION:

STEP 1. Set the appliance in the desired location. Check to determine if wall studs or roof rafters are in the way when the venting system is attached. If this is the case, you may want to adjust the location of the appliance.

STEP 2. Direct vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections. Assemble the desired combination of black pipe and elbows to the appliance adapter with pipe seams oriented towards the wall or floor, as much out of view as possible.

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.
