Initial Installation

STEP 3. With the pipe attached to the stove in the correct location, mark the wall for a 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) square hole (refer to Figure 22). The center of the square hole should match the center line of the horizontal pipe. Cut and frame the 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) hole in the exterior wall where the vent will be terminated. Refer to Figure 15. If the wall being penetrated is constructed of non-combustible material i.e. masonry or concrete, a 7 inches (17.8 cm) hole is acceptable.

STEP 4. Position the horizontal vent termination in the center of the 10” (25.4 cm) x 10” (25.4 cm) hole, and attach to the exterior wall with the four screws provided. Before attaching the vent termination to the exterior wall, run a bead of non-hardening mastic around the edges, so as to make a seal between the termination and the wall. The arrow on the vent termination should be pointing up, insure that the proper clearances to combustible materials are maintained.

STEP 5. Before connecting the horizontal run of the vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the black decorative wall thimble cover over the vent pipe.

STEP 6. Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall, carefully inserting the vent pipe into

the cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extend into the vent cap a sufficient distance with a minimum of 11⁄4” (3.2 cm) overlap. Secure the connection between the vent cap pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal straps extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the straps to the vent pipe. Bend any remaining portion of the sheet metal straps back towards the vent cap, so the decorative wall thimble will conceal it (see left image in Figure 23).

STEP 7. Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the wall surface and attach with the screws provided. Apply decorative brass or chrome trim if desired (see right image in Figure 23).

NOTES:

(1)The four wood screws provided should be replaced with the appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of siding.

(2)For buildings with vinyl siding, a vinyl siding standoff, should be installed between the vent cap and the exterior wall (see Figure 24). Attach the vinyl siding standoff to the horizontal termination. The vinyl siding standoff prevents excessive heat from possibly melting the vinyl siding material. Note that the horizontal vent termination bolts onto the flat portion of the vinyl siding standoff (shaded area in Figure 24), so that an air space will exist between the wall and the vent termination.

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.
