Initial Installation

QUALIFIED INSTALLERS ONLY

VERTICAL INSTALLATION:

1.Check the instructions for required clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafters, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation.

2. Set the gas appliance in the desired location. Drop a plumb bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance flue exit, and mark the location where the vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small hole at this point. Next, drop a plumb bob from the roof to the hole previously drilled in the ceiling, mark the spot where the vent will penetrate the roof. Determine if ceiling joists, roof rafters, or other framing will obstruct the venting system. You may

wish to relocate the appliance, or to offset, to avoid cutting load bearing members.

3.To install the Round Support Box/Wall Thimble in a flat ceiling, cut a 10 inch (25.4 cm) square hole in the ceiling, centered in the hole drilled in Step 2. Frame the hole as shown in Figure 29.

4. Assemble the desired lengths of black pipe and

elbows necessary to reach from the appliance adapter up through the Round Support Box. Insure that all pipe and elbow connections are in their fully twist-locked position.

5. Cut hole in the roof centered on the small

hole placed in the roof from Step 2. The hole

should be of sufficient size to meet minimum

requirements for Clearance to Combustibles,

as specified. Continue to assemble lengths of

pipe and elbows necessary to reach from the

ceiling support box up through the roof line.

Galvanized pipe and elbows may be utilized in

the attic, as well as above the roof line. The

galvanized finish is desirable above the roof

line, due to the higher corrosion resistance.

6. Once the pipe sections have been joined, and

run up through the hole in the roof, slip an

elbow strap over the exposed sections, bend

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.
